Strengthening cyber security in recruitment agencies: act or get hacked

This is a guest blog from Michelle Caulfield, Senior Digital Marketing Manager at Red Helix.

In today's digital landscape, the recruitment industry is no stranger to the ever-looming threat of cyber-attacks. With each passing day, the sophistication and frequency of these attacks continue to rise, making it imperative for recruitment agencies to fortify their defences against potential breaches. While cyber insurance may offer a safety net, relying solely on it is no longer sufficient. Recruitment agencies must take proactive steps to enhance their cyber security measures or risk falling victim to malicious actors.
