IT Security Has Never Been More Important
According to research by Juniper, cybercrimes cost businesses $2 trillion globally in 2019. Researchers predict cybercrime to grow, reaching estimated damages of $6 trillion by 2021.
These days, with so much of our work, personal, and financial lives occupying a digital space, it’s never been more critical to protect ourselves and our assets from the threat of cyberattack. Cybersecurity is vital in keeping us safeguarded from the malicious intents of cybercriminals and fraudsters.
The Most Common Types of Cyberattacks: What Are They?
When attackers want to infiltrate your systems, they have an entire toolbox worth of tricks at their disposal, and all the time in the world to accomplish their task. According to a NETSCOUT threat report, it only takes five minutes of unprotected access to the internet before an IoT device sees its first attack. Some of the common attack types are listed below.
Denial-of-Service (DoS) Attacks
Hackers mostly use DoS attacks as a means to annoy or create a nuisance. They accomplish this by flooding a network with requests that exhaust bandwidth.
Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attack
Hackers perform man-in-the-middle attacks by inserting themselves into a two-party communication to steal private data.
Phishing Attacks
Phishing attacks are regularly launched against the general public. Using fake emails or SMS communication, hackers use social engineering methods to get people to give them access to private info.
Malware
Malware—usually broken down into a few distinct attack methods—includes spyware, ransomware, worms, and viruses. Emails or downloads usually deliver these attacks from suspicious sites.
SQL Injection Attack
Hackers insert malicious code onto an SQL server, usually via a vulnerable website search box. Once carried out successfully, the attack lets the hacker see information otherwise kept off-limits.
Password Attack
This threat is just like what it sounds. Hackers try to crack a password—usually a poorly chosen one—and gain network entry.
Basic Cybersecurity Solutions?
Companies must mount a solid defense in this battle against cybercrime and hackers by implementing cybersecurity best practices. These are vital strategies every company should adopt to avoid attacks and become less exposed.
Use a Network Firewall
Properly implemented firewalls can help keep unwanted connections from gaining access to your network, and ensure that only approved connections are getting out.
Have a Plan for Mobile Devices
Researchers report that as many as 59% of businesses allow some form of Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) in the workplace. Be sure your company has a documented BYOD policy.
Use Safe Password Best Practices
Nobody enjoys changing passwords. Nonetheless, a Verizon report found that 63% of data breaches happen due to lost, stolen, or weak passwords. Having a password policy in place at your business—and actively reinforcing its use—is a tremendous boon for your organization’s security.
Run Phishing Simulations
As some of the most prevalent forms of cybersecurity threats, Phishing scams should not be taken lightly. Companies should educate employees on how to avoid falling prey to these malicious cyberthreats. By raising awareness, you’ll be one step ahead of this particular risk.
Conduct Privileged Access Audits
Granting privileged access is a necessary risk in most businesses. But your company should routinely look at permissions—even among head management—and review who has access to any sensitive areas of your company’s private information and other data.
Patch Management
Patch management helps keep computers and networks secure, reliable and up to date with features and functionality the organization considers important. Automating patch management makes this a seamless and effective process to help secure your organization.
