In the shadow of the global crisis that continues to plague us, many businesses have accelerated their digitization initiatives, a move that has brought a growing variety of cyber threats and unprecedented security risks.
Check Point, a company that develops software and hardware for information security, networks and devices reported a sharp jump of 2,600 to 5,000 cyber attacks a day around the Corona issue. According to the company, 84% of the attacks were carried out through the organization's websites.
According to a global survey by Cyberark, a provider of cyber security solutions focused on the field of personal accounts; 50% of global organizations believe that attackers can infiltrate their networks with little effort.
During Covid-19, this situation was made worse with many more people working from home and businesses not preparing or changing their security policies accordingly. In recent years, the basic concept of data security for businesses was focusing on controlling the security from one central point where the workers were located. Once Covid-19 arrived, the workers left the same central point and moved to work from home environments, leaving the businesses files and networks at risk.
Cyber attacks like phishing can be done by simply clicking on an innocent-looking link that is sent to you via text to your phone, email or pop-up window. Hackers use very deceptive methods, such as impersonating large and well-known organizations which you are possibly used to receiving alerts from. Amazon, political or government organizations are common sites they use to disguise their attacks.
It is very important to take extra care and make sure that the sender is reliable and never automatically open any new message that you receive until it can be checked.
In conclusion, the Covid-19 pandemic has led to a new and changing reality every day and it requires us to rethink the perception of cyber threats on the Internet. Businesses and individuals have accelerated their digitization processes and brought with them a host of new cyber threats and unprecedented security risks.
