Over the course of 2024, researchers from security firm CrowdStrike observed a 150% average increase in intrusions by Chinese threat actors worldwide, with some sectors experiencing two- to three-fold surges. The group regularly exploits vulnerabilities in public-facing web applications to gain initial access.

You could incentivize one of your employees to take the course or take it yourself if you already have a foundation. Install Anti Malware Software and Prevent Phishing Attacks.

However, no matter how many firewalls we put in place or how effectively we implement two-factor authentication we still need to understand the weakest link in our security system: our employees. This type of motivation appears to do a better job of communicating the information that CIOs want the cybersecurity course students to learn.
So, of course, the largest sporting event in the United States is no exception. Phishing scams and malware attacks are among the most common threats, with hackers posing as legitimate organizations to trick users into revealing personal information or installing malicious software.
She blocked her friend’s account, changed her password, and enabled two-factor authentication. “I The Instagram messages came from what appeared to be a friend, and Giordano’s other friends have asked for her help with (real) social media-based contests in the past, so of course she didn’t think much of it.

We run anti-virus and anti-malware suites. Let’s not forget the USB drives that everyone has and, of course, some phones act just like a USB stick these days, allowing you to put it in disk mode and move data to it.

While compliance enforces behavior through rules and consequenceslike being forced to exercisetrue buy-in reflects authentic understanding and commitment. Phishing-resistant authentication: Widespread use of passkeys, biometrics, and passwordless solutions to bolster security. Let me unpack what I mean.
Of course access to corporate and government networks, in addition to individual devices, provides a far wider range of opportunities for mischief. Criteria might include such things as double authentication, end point security, heuristic malware detection technology etc.
Ransomware is malware that locks up access to its victim’s systems and then demands a ransom, usually in cryptocurrency, to unlock them.
