Hi All,

I hope you all are having a great start to the week!
 
We have a timely and special offer below for you this week, and best of all, it’s free, and could just save you and your business from an unintended disaster!

Last week we talked about how websites are one of the most valuable assets for businesses today, and how businesses need to ensure that their website is to the highest quality and efficiency to attract and retain customers.

Additionally, the security of the website is another important consideration that eCommerce businesses need to make to ensure that their business remains safe and efficient. And how we recommend our partner Virtual Innovation due to their expertise & because they offer the additional peace of mind with “hackers insurance”.

As we all already know, cyber security is a global business concern, affecting businesses of all sizes. A security compromise can often lead to massive negative consequences for businesses and their owners, as well as negatively impacting their employees and business partners. 

Analysts predict that the global cybercrime industry is expected to inflict a staggering $10.5 trillion (USD) in damages by 2025. During Q2 ‘22 here in New Zealand, a financial loss of $3.9million was reported by kiwi businesses across a total of 2001 reported incidents. In parallel, information security skills are scarce and expensive, placing the ability for kiwi businesses to protect themselves further and further out of budget thus increasing their risk.

In support of “October Cyber Security Awareness Month”, Grow NZ  Business has teamed up with CyberGrape, a cyber security specialist business based in Taranaki, and we are offering a FREE Cyber Security Assessment report for any business in New Zealand.

CyberGrape uses an advanced technology called Black Kite and are the only licensed partner for this technology in New Zealand.

CyberGrape also have several security services which have been built with kiwi businesses in mind, providing the much-needed security expertise and advice needed.
