Covid-19 Spike in Cyber Threats

Cyber scams are not new. Many businesses have been putting in strong security measures to keep their company safe for years. Those who don’t have strong internal controls and competent accounting policies are most at risk of cyber threats. Our founder Andrew Tragardh talks more about post covid cyber risk in this article at Acuity Magazine.

In a hurry to get employees set up to work from home, some companies may have skipped over some important security measures which has increased the risk of cyber crimes. 

Scammers are jumping at the opportunity to catch businesses out at a vulnerable moment. Often they’ll use hacked email accounts to change key details before attempting to scam the business.

Many of these businesses had strict protection policies in place pre-covid, but those best intentioned plans went out the window once people were working from home. Now is as important time as ever to protect information and value. If it seems inconvenient, it’s probably even more important!
