The Curo Support team is delighted to announce that Curo Support has been Cyber Essentials certified. Cyber Essentials has been approved by the government and industry to help companies protect themselves from cyber-attacks.
Coronavirus has caused a spike in online time this year, and as a result, hackers have more opportunities to carry out cyberattacks on businesses and individuals. They often do this by:
- Email scams and website malware – software that damages your device or lets hackers in
Hackers can gain access to your personal or business information, putting you and your organisation at risk.
Although your support contract doesn’t entirely cover cyber security , we would like to steer you towards a robust network that is less likely to be attacked and introduce you to our cyber security partner. As cybercrime is now heavily funded by states like N korea and Russia and is very very specialist now and more commonly attacking any company regardless of size.
Our aim is to introduce our customers to a cybersecurity company with whom we have partnered on projects over the coming months.
You can be Cyber Essentials Certified too
