FAQ’s

A data breach occurs when a company’s cyber security measures are compromised which allows unauthorised access of information. It can be incredibly damaging to a businesses reputation as well as consumers if their information has been taken. Companies are legally required to have measures in place to protect personal data and must notify anyone that may be affected by a possible breach.

Malware is malicious software. Once into a system, malware can cause harm or disruption or steal information. It can get into your system if a user clicks on a link or opens a malicious attachment in an email for example.

Criminals want to trick you into giving your information to them – this is known as phishing. They’re hoping that you’ll click on fake links to sites or open attachments, so they can steal data or install malicious software. Malicious emails account for nearly three quarters of security breaches or attacks. It’s often a good idea to pass round screenshots of any phishing emails that have been received by staff to make sure everyone is aware of them and can more easily identify any future suspicious emails.

They should be disposed of securely to ensure that it’s impossible to retrieve any data they hold. You may need to use a professional data disposal service to do this for you.

Storage devices include laptops, smartphones, USB devices, portable storage, servers and digital recorders for example.

Where sensitive data is involved, such as with online financial transactions or for physical access to secure areas, two-factor authentication (or 2FA) is often needed. Two-factor authentication requires a second security measure to confirm your identity. The second security measure could be voice or face recognition or your fingerprint (biometrics). Or, it could be a one-time password (OTP) which is a code that’s either sent to a secure authentication application on your device or computer or sent by text message to your smartphone. The code must then be repeated back to authenticate your transaction. OTP’s are randomly generated at the moment they’re required, are only valid for one use and usually time-out if not used within a certain, short, period of time.

Unfortunately, cyber threats are common and it isn’t always obvious that your cyber security has been compromised. However, the following may indicate that you have been hacked and you should immediately take action to prevent any further misuse or damage.

  • Inability to log in to an account (that isn’t a result of forgetting your password)
  • The startup of unknown programmes when switching your computer on
  • Emails being sent from your account to others, that you didn’t send
  • Social media posts from your account that you did not create
  • Appearance of pop-up windows (that may encourage you to visit a particular site or download software)
  • Your computer isn’t performing as it usually does – e.g. it appears to have slowed down/crashes more frequently

When working away from the office you shouldn’t use internet cafes, public Wi-Fi or shared computers when accessing sensitive or restricted information. If possible, it’s best not to use personal laptops or home computers for this type of work. It’s better to use a company laptop with all the necessary security controls installed. It’s good practice to make sure that restricted information is password protected and that laptop hard drives and memory devices are encrypted. When working remotely it’s important to connect to the office network using a secure connection, especially in public areas using a wireless connection.

Remote workers can be vulnerable to scams and data breaches. It is important that every company includes cyber security considerations in their remote working policy. For example: Do employees use company laptops and phones? What access do they have to sensitive data? Do they know who to contact regarding any cyber security issues or concerns?

It is important to regularly review your cyber security policies and procedures, to ensure that they are still effective and up-to-date and you are not vulnerable to an attack.

In particular, cyber security training can help staff understand their responsibilities in protecting a business’s systems and data, in order to minimise the threat of a cyber attack.

The Government has also endorsed a Cyber Essentials scheme. It allows businesses of all sizes to be independently certified for having met a good practice standard in 5 areas of computer security:

  • Boundary firewalls and internet gateways
  • Secure configurations
  • User access controls
  • Malware protection
  • Patch management

If you gain certification it will allow your organisation to advertise that it meets a Government-endorsed standard.

Since October 2014 Cyber Essentials has been mandatory for suppliers of Government contracts which involve handling personal information and providing some ICT products and services. Holding a Cyber Essentials badge enables you to bid for these contracts.

A Trojan is effectively a program that pretends to be legitimate software — but, when launched, it will perform a harmful action. Unlike computer viruses and worms, Trojans cannot spread by themselves. Typically, Trojans are installed secretly and they deliver their malicious payload without the user’s knowledge.

Cybercriminals use many different types of Trojans — and each has been designed to perform a specific malicious function. The most common are:

  • Backdoor Trojans (these often include a keylogger)
  • Trojan Spies
  • Password stealing Trojans
  • Trojan Proxies — that convert your computer into a spam distribution machine
