“Unfortunately, attacks are common in the finance, insurance and legal sectors, particularly in this current climate of remote working, and the difference between how many firms are detecting breaches compared to the reality of them occurring does suggest that firms need better cyber defence postures that give greater visibility and detection to keep their remote workforce safe,” Doherty said. Tom Doherty Associates (TDA) President and Publisher Fritz Foy announced today the creation of NIGHTFIRE, a new horror imprint that will join Tor, Forge, Tor Teen & Starscape, and Tor.com. A quarter admit they can’t guarantee security on every device used out of the office. Just 52 per cent of the firms polled say they are yet to experience a cyber attack or data breach since last March and staggeringly a quarter of employees say they have been the victim of a breach themselves.ĭespite one in seven experiencing a phishing attack just half of the firms have carried out a cyber risk assessment on their remote workplace. “With employees working outside of the office, using a blend of personal and company devices, firms no longer have a single ‘front door’ to protect but a multitude of entry points to secure against cyber criminals,” Terry Doherty, chief executive of Doherty Associates said. Doherty continues as president and publisher of Tom Doherty Associates, LLC, publishing under the Tor, Forge, Orb, Starscape, and Tor Teen imprints.In 2005, Doherty was awarded a World Fantasy Award in the 'Lifetime Achievement' category at the World Fantasy Convention for his contributions to the fantasy field. The research by Doherty Associates reveals firms are unaware of the volume of cyber attacks and data breaches impacting their workforce.
