Email has become a tool of choice for cybercriminals to deploy various cyber threats. Fundamental email security methods can recognize certain threats, but advanced email security further thwarts the remaining ones. Given the diversity of attack types, advanced email security needs to address a multitude of vectors, not just a singular one. Below is a comprehensive checklist to aid evaluation activities when looking for advanced email security.
Cybersecurity is at an all time high. 43% of businesses hit with ransomware never re-open and 29% close within 2 years. With AI, it's extremely difficult for IT teams to stay ahead of cyber threats and it's even more difficult to keep employees informed of what to look for. This Cybersecurity Toolkit was designed for both IT teams and outside employees to make cybersecurity awareness a bit easier to understand and teach.
When it comes to cybercrime, today’s small and midsize businesses (SMBs) are an easy target. Budgets and staffing are limited, and finding the right skilled people is difficult. Many opt to rely on a managed service provider (MSP) to administer their IT needs and keep their workloads and systems secure. Download this report to lower the risk of a data breach and achieve better protection.
Ransomware and exploitation of networks are becoming much less random and more of a targeted event. Threat actors are beginning to move away from spray and pray phishing emails. Although the vast majority (54%) of ransomware attacks come from phishing, we are increasingly seeing a phenomenon known as whale hunting.
Data breaches are occurring at a rate never seen before and all the malicious activity is being monetized and turned in a business. Faced with these problems that are only getting worse, how do we maintain a secure environment and protect our assets? The answer is vigilance and hygiene. We must develop and maintain standards that holistically protect our networks and infrastructure.
Zero Trust is a strategic security model that restricts everything and anything from gaining access to systems without first being verified, even if the connection is coming from inside the organization. The model ensures that users who have access by default, are required to continuously verify their identity. The implementation of the Zero Trust model has increased dramatically as people continue to work from home - resulting in an increase of cyber-attacks.
43% Of all cyberattacks target small to medium size business – non enterprise environments. Due to lack of funds and/or resources, smaller companies typically do not implement high security measures thus establishing themselves as lucrative targets for ransomware attacks.
