Navigating cybersecurity challenges - Nybble Launches Cyber ONE

Unlocking innovation ROI, by unlocking your sales performance

Tips and strategies to enhance online safety: 1. Use anti-virus and anti-malware: As long as you are connected to the web, it’s impossible to have complete and total protection from malware. However, you can significantly reduce your vulnerability by ensuring you have anti-virus and anti-malware software installed on your computer. 2. Keep software up to date: Software companies typically provide updates for three reasons: to add new features, fix known bugs and upgrade security. Always update to the latest version of your software to protect yourself from new or existing security vulnerabilities. 3. Enable 2-factor authentication: Many platforms now allow you to enable 2-factor authentication to keep your accounts secure. It’s another layer of protection that helps verify that it’s you who is accessing your account and not someone unauthorised. Enable this security feature whenever you can, especially if you use Microsoft 365. 4. Avoid opening suspicious emails: If an email looks suspicious, don’t open it as it might be a phishing scam. Someone might be impersonating another individual or company to gain access to your information. Sometimes the emails may also include attachments or links that can infect your devices. 5. Check links before you click: Links can easily be disguised as something they’re not, so it’s best to double-check before you click on the link. On most browsers, you can see the target URL by hovering over the link. Do this to check links before you click on them. Whilst there are procedures within your organisation that you can put in place to help reduce the threat of these attacks, they will remain a major threat to your organisation, as the technology available to cybercriminals continues to develop, meaning that the likeliness of your business being struck is increasing all the time.

As a leader of a high-tech aerospace business, you strive for growth. You have brilliant products and you have invested heavily in the latest technologies to satisfy customer demand and expand your business into new areas ... But your innovations are not making the return on investment you expected, and it’s proving difficult to open conversations with new and existing customers about what you can offer due to an apparent lack of interest. How do you earn back and make a profit on your highly invested innovative technologies? How do you turn around your company’s sales performance to achieve this growth? It’s time to rethink your approach to sales. Key to any product or service commercial success is knowing who you should be selling it to, and why . Whilst this is an obvious statement, it’s surprising how many companies miss the target. You may have a number of products that are technically excellent, yet it’s incredibly difficult to find customers who will consider procuring and want to learn more. Why is this? •How much do you focus on product specification and features? •How much do you talk about the actual problem that your product or solution can fix? •Why should they buy it? •What differentiates your product from the competition?

Why cyber security matters

Cyber threats are everywhere.

Last year alone, 60% of hotels experienced a data breach, according to a report by the Ponemon Institute. And if that wasn’t enough, over half the schools in the USA faced cyber incidents, as reported by the CISA. These stats are not just numbers; they’re wake up calls. They show us that Cyber security is not just a technology issue – it’s a crucial part of running a successful hotel or educational institution. Types of threats we face 1. Phishing scams: Phishing scams are like digital traps set by cybercriminals, aiming to deceive unsuspecting individuals into revealing sensitive information. For hotels, these scams may target guest databases, posing a significant risk to guest privacy. Similarly, higher educational establishments may fall for a phishing attempt that targets faculty or student information. 2. Ransomware attacks: These attacks involve malicious software that encrypts data, effectively holding it hostage until a ransom is paid. For hotels, an attack like this could block reservation systems, leading to disrupted operations and compromised guest experiences. In the education sector, such attacks could involve ransomware on student databases, jeopardising the integrity of student records.

It’s only when you have a clear market with a strong understanding of the problems you’re fixing that you’re ready to target and sell. Your business may have a strong legacy of repeat, loyal customers and it’s likely that your sales have come from nurturing these customers well. However, new innovations will probably need new customers, in new sectors. And this will need a different or fresh set of sales capabilities - beyond what your sales team are comfortable with.
