We depend on technology heavily, which also translates to a
rise in online hackers. The bigger the corporation is, the higher the risk of
cyber attacks. This is when cybersecurity comes into the picture.
What is cybersecurity: Cybersecurity is the condition of
being guarded against criminal and illegal activities that comprise of
activities related to computer, information technology, and virtual reality. It
also means the measures taken to acquire this condition. One must know the
risks, threats, and consequences of cyber attacks.
- Who are the attackers: The attacker could be an external
source like a hacker who gets into the system and steals files. The imposter
could even be someone from the company itself, like an employee who has an
access to confidential information.
- How are the attacks carried out: The attackers through
viruses or botnets invade systems. It is even done by using a USB drive or
clicking on an unknown link.
- When is the attack carried out: Cyber attacks mostly occur
when your systems or the internal staff are vulnerable. There is no specific
vulnerability and the attack can occur at any time.
- Which area is hit: Cyberspace is a limitless stretch so
the attack can occur in any area.
- Why do these attacks occur: The external agents strike to
leak or held captive crucial company data for earning ransom. And the internal
sources like the employees do it for competitors in exchange for money. Some
even do it as a revenge due to past unpleasant experiences.
- How to tackle cyber attacks: There are three ways of
securing your website:
1) SSL Certificate: This certificate validates your website's identity and
encrypts the information visitors send or receive from your site.
3) SiteLock: It scans your website for any threat and when it is
detected, it works effectively to repair it. Also, you would be instantly
