Don’t Risk It.
Now imagine that happening to your financial institution.
257 days. More than eight months. That’s the average time it takes to identify, contain, and eradicate a data breach. You’re not worried though. Hackers only go after big fish, right? I mean, that’s where all the valuable stuff is, yeah? Nope. Hackers look for easy targets. Community and regional banks and credit unions, much like small and mid-size businesses, fit the definition of an easy target. They often struggle to find the people and technology needed to defend themselves and their clients from hackers. And the hackers have actively taken advantage. More than 60% of all data breaches in 2016 were at small companies, including financial institutions. And it cost them an average of more than $1.8 million in remediation, legal fees and lost business. Ouch.
Install safeguards to protect your business, your data and your reputation. Now. It’s too costly when some foreign entity snakes his way into your financial systems, databases and file servers. Your business insurance isn’t likely to cover your losses and you may very well find yourself with a damaged reputation and fewer clients.
