Cybersecurity Insights

Hollywood has painted the world of hacking as a slick, complex, world of nation state attackers using undetectable, 0-day attacks against large corporate organisations. Whilst sometimes that's exactly the case, most of the time it's not like that at all. We’re seeing focused and organised criminal groups performing exploits of often very old vulnerabilities against smaller companies and merchants. Most of the entities being breached never gain media attention and small/medium sized businesses are being decimated by hackers every day.

The problem is; most of these breaches are avoidable. Regular patching and updates to Internet exposed websites would dramatically reduce the likelihood of being hacked. Yet our research confirms the bulk of ecommerce merchants are not doing this!

Many companies that host payment pages will boast of their ability to securely process payments. Whilst this may be true, it does not mean that your customers data is secure on your website. If you fail to invest in a competent cybersecurity solution, you’re leaving your customers vulnerable to fraud and your business open to a costly breach.

We're proud to consider ourselves one of the industry leaders in the cybersecurity arena, and we are constantly striving to share our knowledge with the community. We recently announced our participation in the PCI Security Standards Council's Latin America Forum and now the PCI Security Standards Council has chosen us to join its inaugural Global Executive Assessor Roundtable!

Everyday there's another data compromise. Check the news, big breaches are happening all the time - and that's just the high profile ones. It's the smaller businesses that are getting hit the hardest by hackers; we see it day in and day out. Online criminals target websites operating a weak security infrastructure and exploit their vulnerabilities once identified. Why would they work hard to break into a big bank, when they could spend an hour hacking a small business?
