In a new advisory article, one of our Network supporters, Marsh Commercial looks at cyber crime through business email compromise (BEC).

In a fast evolving digital world which places emphasis upon increased digital communication, there are also increased cyber security risks for family businesses through data breaches.

Marsh Commercial’s article states that “Human error caused 90% of data breaches in 2019, with staff making a variety of mistakes that put their company’s data or systems at risk”.
