2). THREAT ANALYSIS: BITSIGHT \u2013 UK Businesses have Lowest Cybersecurity Vulnerabilities in \u201cEurope\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0The percentage of UK organisations with detectable known exploited vulnerabilities (KEVs) is much lower than the European average according to the\u00a0Prevalence and Remediation Report<\/em>\u00a0based on new research report from Bitsight. The research analysed 1.4 million organisations worldwide to highlight the types of cybersecurity vulnerabilities most prevalent and the time taken for remediation, highlighting the need for\u00a0SMEs<\/strong>\u00a0to recognise vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

3). VPN \u2013\u00a0Understanding The Virtual Private Network (VPN)\u00a0<\/strong>A Virtual Private Network (VPN<\/strong>) is an essential technology for SMEs<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0as it enables secure and private communication over a public network. By encrypting data and hiding the user\u2019s IP address, VPNs establish a secure connection between the employees\u2019 devices and the company\u2019s network, ensuring the privacy and security of sensitive information. E.g. A small accounting firm with employees working remotely can use a\u00a0VPN<\/strong>\u00a0to securely access client financial data without compromising confidentiality.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
