How Cyberattacks Imperil Your Business Cyberattacks manifest differently from other threats and yield a diverse array of consequences. They often involve attempts to infiltrate an organization’s technology infrastructure with the intent to steal data, extract monetary gain, or extort business proprietors. As a result, business owners and managers are confronted with a host of distressing scenarios, including:
Encryption The primary technology at work with a VPN is encryption, keeping any data secure while it?s moving to or from your network. With this encryption in place, it becomes much more difficult for an unauthorized user to steal or snoop on your data.
A Quick Cloud History When you consider cloud computing, it would not be possible without high-speed Internet; or the advent of the Internet for that matter. Cloud computing has been around ever since the Internet, but the cloud as we know it today is only about as old as the smartphone, and even then it was mostly used for small data storage as larger files would take ages to upload compared with files today using today?s Internet speeds. It has come from those humble beginnings to now holding about three-fifths of the world?s corporate data.
Encryption Implementing strong encryption protocols works to secure data during transmission. From a technical point of view: SSL/TLS (Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security) protocols are commonly used to encrypt communication between a user’s browser and a website. This added encryption ensures that any information exchanged is secure and cannot be easily intercepted by people looking to intercept it.
Understanding Browser Hijacking Attacks Browser hijacking attacks involve the stealthy installation of malicious software onto a user’s web browser. This malware can range from adware and spyware to more sophisticated forms like ransomware and keyloggers. The primary goal of these attacks is to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information or disrupt the user’s browsing experience.
