Study finds company bosses lack cyber training & are not prepared for hacking. 

Gabrielle Cox • Aug 23, 2017

A recent government study reported by the BBC has found that more than two thirds of companies say their directors have no training in responding to cyberattacks with one in 10 companies questions (105 out of the fuse 350) revealed they have no plan in place to cope with hacking.

As the BBC report highlighted, the annual Cyber Governance Health Check survey found that 54% of company boards identify computer hacking as one of the main threats to their business. With 68% of them had no specific training to deal with a hack.

As has been shown by the recent hacks this year, they can have devastating effects on a global scale. As highlighted in a previous post , the threat of hacking and ransomware is only ever growing; it is therefore an incredibly important time to prepare for a potential attack.
