Data breaches bring heavy financial costs, massive reputational damage, not to mention the customers who actually become a victim to the resulting fraudulent activity. Due to the fines, penalties and reputational damage, many companies find themselves going out of business.
The US’ National Cyber Security Alliance found that 60% of small businesses are unable to sustain their business within six months of a cyber-attack. At this point you need to ask yourself, is it worth the risk?
According to a survey carried out by Semafone, over 70% of contact centers require customers to read their credit card numbers aloud over the phone. Another 30% reported that agents have access to customers’ payment card information even when they’re not on the phone with the customer. If this data is being stored without adequate protection, it’s easy pickings for anyone who decides to break into the environment.
If you’re interested in learning more about how to protect yourself, Jon Pitts, Managing Director at Foregenix will be joining David Scheidemantel, Solutions Consultant at Semafone to spearhead a webinar focussing on:
- The current threat landscape organisations are facing – Including internal and external threats.
- What happens to companies after a breach
- How you can avoid a data breach and obtain and maintain compliance with PCI DSS.
Running an online business isn’t the same now as it used to be. It’s no longer an issue of if you’ll be breached, but when. Make sure you register for the webinar for more information on how to protect yourself and your customers.
You'll hear expert insight from:
