Companies are constantly facing evolving cyber threats, and suffering just a single data breach can change a company forever. Therefore, businesses must constantly upgrade and improve their cybersecurity defenses. One way to do this is through a company called UpGuard, which offers the world’s first cyber resilience platform.
Cyberattacks have become almost the norm these days. It seems like nearly every other day the evening news is reporting about the latest giant to fall victim to these cybercriminals. Our favorite store chains, our banking and credit systems, and even our own government’s computer systems have all been successfully breached by these seemingly invisible attacks.
Today’s internet is fraught with hazardous malware, or malicious software. It comes in many different forms. It may lurk within the code of infected websites where it waits for unsuspecting visitors to enter personal information. It might hijack otherwise innocuous online ads, redirecting consumers to phishing sites. Or it might tag along in downloads to further spread its disease.
Protecting a company’s most valuable assets and sensitive data from cyber threats is mission critical, no matter how big your business or bank account is. But consider this fact: not all cyberattacks are carried out by external actors. In fact, some of the most damaging and costly attacks can occur from the inside.
That means protection from the inside is just as important as protection from the outside. Veriato offers security services to protect a company’s assets from internal threats.
Data breaches have quickly become a major threat to industries operating in the digital space, causing companies to get proactive with their security strategies and tactics.
The best way to prevent hackers is to know how to think like one. Based in Redwood City, California, Synack is a security company that is revolutionizing the ways in which we view cybersecurity: through the eyes of a hacker.
The internet is a minefield when it comes to security and identity verification. And with recent cybersecurity breaches, the stakes have never been higher. Making one false move can expose critical personal information and cost your company and your wallet a huge amount of money.
So here’s the key question: How do you verify a person’s identity when all you’re looking at is a computer screen? How can you make sure what you’re seeing in the digital world matches real life? That’s where identity screening companies like Jumio come in.
Hacker attacks occur every 39 seconds and affect 33 percent of Americans each year. Forty-three percent of cyber-attacks target small businesses. Sixty-four percent of companies have experienced web-based attacks, while 62 percent have been victims of phishing and social engineering attacks, and 59 percent have fallen prey to malicious code and botnets. Since 2013, data breaches have enabled the theft of more than 3 million records each day.
Identity theft is a serious problem that’s only getting worse. But don’t worry. Discover’s new Social Security number alerts has got you covered. If you’re a cardholder, the issuer will scour the dark web for the illegal use of your Social Security number.
If you routinely store files somewhere other than your computer’s hard drive, you are probably saving them to the cloud—the network of servers that essentially make up the Internet. While some cloud servers host services—such as Adobe’s Creative Suite or Gmail—others store a variety of data and are becoming increasing popular with business and individual users alike. Dropbox has over 500 million users. Google Drive boasts more than a million paid customers, and millions more who subscribe to Microsoft’s Office 365 use OneDrive to store their documents, photos and videos remotely.
If you’ve ever had an email account, you’ve likely received a message similar to this one:
Dear customer, our courier has attempted to deliver your parcel today, but you could not be contacted at the address or on the phone. Because nobody could sign for the parcel, we have deposited it at our local office, leaving you a notice in your mailbox. To claim your package, please visit our office with a printed copy of the delivery notice. A scanned copy of the UPS Missed Delivery Notice can also be found by clicking here.
