According to the Information Commissioner\u2019s Office (ICO),<\/a> the biggest risk that businesses in the UK face in cyber security is not hackers, but instead \u201ccomplacency.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The warning was issued after the ICO fined Interserve Group<\/a>, a UK construction company \u00a34.4 million for failing to protect its employees’ personal information, which breached data protection laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interserve was discovered to have failed to have appropriate cyber security measures in place, which allowed hackers to gain access to the personal data of 113,000 employees via a malicious phishing email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the attack, the ICO is urging businesses across the UK to put protections in place and not become complacent, as they could face similar fines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Edwards, Information Commissioner, warned<\/a>: \u201cCyber attacks are a global concern and businesses around the world need to take steps to guard against complacency.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Training staff<\/a> to recognise potential threats, risk management, and data backups are just some ways businesses can stay safe in the digital world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
