Trenton, NJ - Would you know where to turn if your business’s computer systems were hacked? Employers have a new tool to defend their businesses against cyberattacks. Governor Christie on May 20 created the New Jersey Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Cell to connect the public and private sectors with the latest information on cyber threats and what to do about them. The site includes “cyber tips, alerts and mitigation techniques” as well as threat analysis—all managed by the Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness.
The cell will also partner with law enforcement to investigate cybercrimes and help businesses deal with related problems if an attack does occur.
NJBIA is partnering with the Office of Homeland Security to distribute information about the new effort. According to a PricewaterhouseCoopers survey, cyber-attacks increased 48 percent from 2013 to 2014, with more than 117,000 attacks happening every day. Nationwide, only about 40 percent of all industries had a security system in place last year.
