The theft of $65m worth of Bitcoin highlights how hackers today are increasingly
looking for ever more sophisticated ways to attack businesses. With the
proliferation of digital technologies, there are more routes into organisations than
ever before and every organisation is at risk of a cyber-attack or a human error
data breach. This is why it is crucial that all steps possible are taken to protect
and prevent attacks, or at the very least reduce the fall out of an incident -
which, with the plunge in Bitcoin’s share price, we can see can be devastating.

There are many accessible solutions that businesses can put in place to protect
their assets, from data loss prevention software, to multi-layered security, to
biometric log-in systems. However, what seems to be the core issue is a lack of
understanding and urgency to implement these technologies. This presents a
call-to-action for technology companies in the security space to ensure the message
is getting across, that it is clear and understandable, and to support businesses
from beginning to end on their security journeys.
