(Andy Johnson, Brother UK)     

Now, more than ever it’s important to make sure your IT professionals are adequately prepared and have the tools they need to eliminate the risks of data theft. Every business could be a potential target of cybercrime and it’s something that businesses can’t risk overlooking with the average cost of a cyber attack to a business being £25,700.² It now needs to be high on your agenda.

It’s paramount that the work to keep your devices secure within your business is carried out as soon as possible.
