THE MOST COMMON ATTACKS IN COMPANIES
Companies constantly face the threat of cyber attacks, such as malware (viruses, worms, trojans, ransomware, and spyware), advanced persistent threats, phishing, and insider attacks, which aim to obtain confidential information from the company and can cause serious financial harm.
CYBERSECURITY IS CRUCIAL FOR YOUR COMPANY
Hackers know that smaller companies are less careful about security, often underestimating the value of business information. Investing in security technologies and training employees on best practices can help minimize the risk of attacks.
IT SECURITY MONITORING REGULARLY
The use of strong passwords, firewalls, professional backups, implementation of security policies, protection of information with encryption, updating of operating systems, care in sending information to the cloud, and regular password changes are crucial for the security of your company.

-
40% of employees from the surveyed companies access confidential company information in public spaces, using portable devices such as laptops, tablets, and mobile phones.
-
30% admitted to remotely accessing their network through unsecured public connections, and approximately 22% confirmed taking confidential documentation home and/or working with confidential information on unauthorized devices (e.g. their personal PC/Tablet).
-
18% downloaded software on their computer that was not approved by their IT department.

Get to know the main preventive measures for the security of your company
-
Secure passwords and their management.
It's important for employees to be educated on how to create strong and complex passwords and the importance of not sharing passwords or storing them in insecure locations. It's crucial that employees understand the importance of creating strong and secure passwords to protect their accounts and devices against hacker attacks. -
Malware threats
Employees should be aware of the risks of malware, including viruses, spyware, and ransomware. Malware is malicious software that can infect devices and steal information. Employees need to be aware of the different types of malware and know how to protect their devices against these threats. -
Security updates
It is important to instruct employees to keep their devices up to date with the latest security updates, including vulnerability fixes. -
Public Wi-Fi networks
Employees should be instructed to avoid insecure public Wi-Fi networks and always use a secure connection when on public Wi-Fi networks. -
Company security policy and acceptable use
It is essential for employees to be aware of the company's acceptable use policy and what is expected of them regarding device usage and access to the corporate network. The company should have clear security policies that describe the security measures that employees must take. It is important for employees to understand these policies and follow the security best practices recommended by the company. -
Encryption
Employees should be educated on the importance of encryption and how to use it to protect sensitive data.
-
Security and safe use of emails.
Employees should be educated about the risks of unsolicited emails, phishing, and spam. They should also be trained to recognize and report any suspicious activity. Emails are a common means of delivering malware and phishing. Employees need to know how to use email safely, including how to identify suspicious emails and how to handle attachments and links. -
Security on mobile and personal devices.
If the company allows employees to use their own personal devices for work, they should be instructed about the company's security policies and measures that apply to these devices. With the popularity of smartphones and tablets, it is important that employees know how to protect their mobile devices against security threats. -
Phishing
Phishing is a social engineering technique used to deceive users into clicking on links or downloading malicious files. Employees need to be aware of the risks and know how to identify and avoid phishing attacks. -
Remote access
Many companies allow employees to access the company network remotely. It is important for employees to understand the risks involved and know how to protect their information when accessing the company network remotely. -
Social media
Social media can be a source of security risks, including phishing, malware, and identity theft. Employees need to be aware of the risks and know how to use social media safely.
It is important for companies to implement effective security measures to prevent cyber attacks.
Cyber criminals impersonate suppliers, customers, and employees to access company information and gain access to customer databases and accounts.
In order to prevent serious problems, the company must act quickly and be able to identify the perpetrators of fraud.
Unfortunately, phishing and other computer crimes are increasing in all European countries. For this reason, it is important for everyone to be vigilant.
Invest in training your employees on cybersecurity practices to prevent attacks.
