Take care of your data protection
Working with organizations from various branches of the economy almost every day we see how many of them need reliable knowledge in the field of data protection. Our mission is to spread good practices in an uneven fight against the growing number of cybercriminals and cyberattacks.
How big is the threat?
Cyber attacks are already an integral part of the digital reality
Reports carried out periodically by experts from the IT industry estimate that the average annual increase in the number of cyber attacks oscillates around 40%.
This means that in just 2 years the number of attempted attacks will double – assuming that the growth dynamics will not accelerate even more…
Types of threats
How do cybercriminals operate?
Cybercriminals take a number of actions to gain access to logins and passwords, bank accounts, applications, confidential documents and other data owned by attacked user. Consequences of successful attacks are most often:
- stealing money from a bank account
- identity theft
- blackmail and ransom extortion
Prevention of cyber threats
How to protect an organization against cyberattacks?
Employee awareness
The vast majority of successful cyber attacks are the result of user errors. Regular cybersecurity training is the key to defending against threats.
Technical security
Proper protection of the network and IT systems allows you to reduce the chance of a successful cyberattack and to minimize its effects in the event of a successful attempt.
Regular audits
Even the best security solutions will fail if they are not maintained in full working order. Conducting audits helps in locating weak points and neutralizing them.
Security procedures
It is a good practice to introduce procedures and regulations defining basic safety standards that should apply to all employees.
