Cyber Security

Cyber security threats are increasing in both number and complexity, as well as this they are constantly evolving making it very difficult for businesses these days to ensure that they are protect against these types of threats.

What is Cyber Security?

Cyber security consists of technologies, process and measures that are designed to protect businesses and their data and networks against cyber crimes.

A cyber attack is usually intended to inflict damage or to seize information from businesses for the purpose of theft, unauthorised access to networks and consequently data including financial data and reputation damage.

There are so many different modes or vectors of attack including:

 

Malware

Malware is a type of software designed to allow criminals to achieve their objectives

Ransomware

Ransomware is a type of malicious program that blocks access to files and data, it then threatens to delete these files holding them to ransom until a sum of money is paid.

Viruses

A virus is a small piece of code that can replicate itself and spread from one computer to another by attaching itself to another computer file.

Worms

Worms are self-replicating programs that penetrate an operating system with the intention of spreading malicious code. Worms continually look for vulnerabilities and report back to the worm author when weaknesses are discovered.

Spyware/adware

Spyware/adware can be installed on your computer when you open attachments, click on links or download infected software.

Trojans

A Trojan virus is a program that appears to perform one function (for example, virus removal) but actually performs malicious activity when executed.

 

While no defence strategy is impenetrable, by using several security methods in a combination, your defences against a cyber attack are much stronger.
