As the recent Post Office Horizon saga has demonstrated, there is a need to strike a considered balance between blind faith in technology and a lack of faith in IT.
On Friday 23 April 2021, the Court of Appeal quashed the convictions of 39 former Post Office sub-postmasters for false accounting, fraud and theft with a further 700 overturned convictions potentially on the way after campaigners won a legal battle to prove the Post Office IT was at fault and the computer system on which their convictions were based was flawed.
Described as one of the biggest miscarriages of justice in UK history, the judgment marked the culmination of a 20-year battle for justice for individuals whose convictions were based on incorrect information from the Post Office’s Horizon sales and accounting system, developed by Japanese IT company Fujitsu.
While cybersecurity has been high on many organisations agendas in recent years, the pandemic has heightened anxiety levels in SMEs, particularly around cyber-attacks.

Attackers have also been keen to exploit the changing circumstances and there have been reported rises in phishing and ransomware attacks, in particular.

Often SMEs do not have the budget of large organisations to spend on cybersecurity. They can lack skills and knowledge around what can be seen as a technical topic and often don t know where to start with good cybersecurity practices.
