Managed Extended Detection & Response (MXDR) with BCN

Researching the information and statistics associated with cyber security is often a sobering exercise for anybody that runs their own business or organisation. At the turn of a new year, there are always certain predictions, based on the preceding year’s reports, that give a good indication of what to look out for in the realms of cyber threats and potential attacks.

Perhaps the most significant of all these stats is a Gov.UK estimation that the total annual cost of cyber-attacks to UK businesses is an eye-watering £21 billion. This makes it clear that as the benefits of business technology accelerate at pace, the potential threat opportunities continue to increase alongside them.

It isn’t a case of if you get attacked, it’s when.

Extended Detection & Protection is The Key

2023 was a watershed year in many ways with the rise and adoption of generative AI dominating the tech headlines. The applications of this have been truly game changing for certain elements of business productivity and creation. However, there is now evidence that generative AI is also being used to develop and fine tune the sophistication and success of cyber threats too. The improvements in the spelling and grammar of phishing emails are a good example of this in use.

Overall, the message this year has to be that standing still just isn’t an option. To increase your security posture and bolster resilience against more advanced threats from bad actors in the cyber world will mean increasing the sophistication of your defences.
