When people think of "hackers," they typically picture someone in a hoodie, feverishly typing to break into networks. However, hacking extends beyond just deciphering passwords or exploiting system flaws; it often includes social engineering and targeted attacks. This understanding is crucial for effective cyber-attack prevention, as it broadens the scope of what businesses need to protect against.
Let's adopt a hacker's mindset for cyber-attack prevention! Consider this scenario:
Imagine you were to target your own company. How would you do it?
- You could look up your business on Google or LinkedIn to see who the decision makers are.
- You might find a decision maker you can target!
- You can create a free email and "pretend" to be yourself.
- You can try to trick that decision maker into sending sensitive information, changing accounting information, or other activities that would leave your business vulnerable.
How long did those take?
Now imagine that being your full-time occupation! That's precisely why the subject of cybersecurity holds such significance.
If your business has:
1.) Employee Cybersecurity Training
2.) Spam Filtering that can block spoofing
3.) Data Loss Prevention that prevents sensitive information from leaving the company
The likelihood of experiencing an incident drops substantially! Rather than foregoing these solutions and exposing your most crucial asset to risk, contact our team to seize control of your cybersecurity.
