Cybersecurity

Cyber attacks are on the rise and cybersecurity has never been more important to implement in your organization. In today’s Cybersecurity Podcast, we’ll look at the three areas of weakness that are exploited by hackers as well as what you can do to protect yourself.

Oracle plays a big role in your business and project management operation. Are you taking full advantage of Oracle NetSuite Software?

One of the big things we noticed with Covid and the remote worker space changing dramatically, was a skyrocketing number of attacks on those remote workers. In fact a study out there found that in March 2020, when the pandemic forced most employees to work from home, ransomware attacks skyrocketed by 148%.

Have you ever lost documents, critical software, or programs due to your computer or hard drive crash? For managing your documents and information, cloud computing is one of the best answers. In 2021, more businesses are adopting it with 70% of companies are currently using a cloud plan to increase their budgets in the future (Amazing Cloud Adoption Statistics for 2021). Because of the increase in cloud usage, we have identified cloud-based threats as the one of the most significant cybersecurity threats occurring today.

Cybersecurity threats hav evolved since the early days of the Internet. With so many threats out there, where should your business concentrate their time and resources? We can’t stress enough the importance of securing your network and connected hardware. But where should you start?

All attacks begin with a goal, your adversaries have set out to steal, destroy, and reveal your business. The scope and strength of their attacks are a function of their goal. A programmer might devise a bot that scours the open internet for unprotected cameras, spreadsheets, control systems, and file storage. While their goal may be an almost innocent diversion, one might simply adjust their search for anything matching the sixteen digit pattern of credit cards. Or highlight any compromised cameras whose meta information indicates their real world address is a bank, warehouse, pharmacy, or other valuable location.

As computer systems developed they’ve offered only more and more benefits and efficiencies for every business. But those same benefits also attract cyber criminals looking for vulnerable computer systems and untraceable wealth.

Much like a burglar testing every car door on a street for the few that are unlocked, cyber criminals scan the internet and organizations for the unlocked entrance. And while our cars and homes benefit from police patrols and neighborhood watches, cyber security is only as effective as our vigilance over the systems we employ.

A company may be able to remove them at one point in time, but attacks always come back with some other type of technique. You have to stay on top of your game. It’s important to continuously put the latest protection or upgrades to your system so that you can be protected at the highest level.
