The Threat Landscape.
Ransomware remains a persistent threat to businesses, encrypting critical files and demanding large ransoms for the decryption key. Unlike other attacks, ransomware works slowly and covertly, often taking weeks or months to complete before making demands.
As small and medium-sized businesses adopt remote and hybrid work, securing cloud storage is vital. While convenient for data access, it poses risks—cybercriminals can breach outdated firewalls, jeopardizing employee and customer data. Up-to-date security measures, regular assessments, detailed reports, and proactive maintenance are crucial to mitigate cloud-based threats and minimize costly attacks.
Social engineering is a significant threat to organizations due to its reliance on human error, making it easier to manipulate people than breach a security system. Cybercriminals exploit this vulnerability, with 85% of data breaches involving human interaction, according to Verizon's Data Breach Investigations report.

Phishing attacks are growing more sophisticated, with cybercriminals exploring new methods like email contact forms and Google ads. To counter these threats, we empower our employees to recognize and avoid phishing attempts. With the knowledge and skills we provide, they can navigate online activities confidently and avoid these attacks.

Amid the post-pandemic remote work surge, vigilance against man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks is crucial. Employees working from vulnerable spots like cafes face risks from unsecured Wi-Fi, which hackers exploit to intercept data and monitor screens.
Cybercriminals favor these attacks due to varied work locations. Security lies in using a protected network, as public Wi-Fi is inherently unsafe and exposes connected computers to potential breaches.

Business Email Compromise (BEC) is a cybercrime exploiting internal email accounts for financial gain. Hackers target employees, especially in higher roles, with deceptive emails requesting fund transfers, resulting in substantial losses. By breaching internal accounts, they devise effective attacks like malware distribution or fund redirection.
The finance sector, known for regular transfers, is a key BEC target. Despite receiving less attention than ransomware, BEC inflicts three times the financial harm, according to FBI reports.
