What is a Cyber Security Policy?
A Cyber Security Policy sets out the guidelines to protect technology and information assets within your business. The goal is to protect your systems, networks, and programs from digital attacks (such as hacking or ransomware). The policy includes the rules and processes which employees should follow.
Businesses without a policy could be leaving themselves open to cyber attacks. According to a 2016 report by cybersecurity firm Symantec, 43% of cyber-attacks are targeted against small businesses.

What’s included in a Cyber Security Policy?
Some of the issues the policy covers are sharing of business information, acceptable use of devices and online materials, handling and storage of sensitive material, backups, and a disaster recovery plan.
