Overview
Cybercrime is one of the fastest-growing risks for businesses in Ireland, with attacks becoming more frequent, sophisticated, and financially devastating. Whether you operate a small business or a large corporation, no organisation is immune. As businesses continue to digitise operations and store valuable customer data, cybercriminals are exploiting vulnerabilities to steal sensitive information, disrupt operations, and demand ransom payments.
According to the Hiscox Cyber Readiness Report 2024
- On average an Irish business experienced a cyber-attack every 6 days.
- 74% of organisations reported an increase in cyber-attacks over the past year.
- 76% consider cyber resilience crucial to their overall business strategy.
- 65% believe reputational damage from a cyber-attack would significantly harm their business.
- More than 1 in 10 reported a financial cost of attacks of between €1m and €10m.
According to Cisco, phishing is the most common form of cybercrime, with an estimated 3.4 billion spam emails sent every day.
With attacks becoming more frequent, costly, and sophisticated, Irish businesses must take proactive steps to assess their vulnerabilities, strengthen their cybersecurity measures, and secure financial protection through cyber insurance.
Cyber Prepare : Assess & Strengthen Your Cyber Resilience
The first step in protecting your business is understanding your cybersecurity vulnerabilities. Cyber Prepare is an assessment tool designed to help Irish businesses evaluate their cyber risk exposure and implement stronger security measures.
How Cyber Prepare Works
-
Interactive Cyber Risk Assessment
A structured questionnaire helps businesses identify weaknesses in their cybersecurity practices.
-
Attackers’ Eye View Scan
A non-invasive scan analyses a business’s online presence to detect vulnerabilities from a hacker’s perspective.
-
Dashboard & Reporting
Businesses receive a detailed cyber risk report with recommendations for improving security.
With Cyber Prepare, businesses can gain a clear understanding of their risk profile and take proactive steps to mitigate threats before an attack occurs.
