The new Small Business Cyber Resilience Service provides free, tailored support to help small businesses build their cyber resilience and recover after a cyber incident. You can call the Small Business Cyber Resilience Service helpline on 1800 595 170 or submit a request through IDCARE’s website. Visit 👉 idcare.org/smallbusiness #SmallBizAU #CyberSecurity
According to the @Australian Cyber Security Centre, the average cost of a cybercrime for small businesses is $46,000. Dealing with cyber security risks can be a great source of stress for small businesses. That’s why the Australian Government has launched the Small Business Cyber Resilience Service, which provides free, tailored advice to small businesses to address their cyber security concerns and to help them recover after a cyber incident. @IDCARE delivers the service and helps small businesses by: - recommending specific actions, tools and guidance to improve cyber security - providing practical steps to recover from a cyber incident - providing case management support following an incident - referring to additional support services where required. Small businesses can access the service by calling 1800 595 170, or by submitting a request through IDCARE’s website. To find out more about the Small Business Cyber Resilience Service and how to access it, visit business.gov.au/SBCRS #CyberSecurity #SmallBusiness #CyberSecurityAwarenessMonth #SmallBizAU
