Pill 2 – The most common cyber attacks.
A cyber attack is a set of offensive actions against information systems. They can have different goals:
- – attack equipment and systems to cancel the services provided by your company.
- – Subtract information stored in databases.
- – Steal the identity of your workers to commit fraud.
The most common cyberattacks are Ransomware or data hijacking, phishing, CEO fraud and the so-called Man in the middle. It is for this reason that 3 out of 5 companies consider not basing the bulk of their communication on this channel.
How can we do to prevent these attacks from our workplace?
- Do not click on unknown and suspicious links or attachments
- Never enter credentials or give passwords to third parties
- Do not share valuable information by email
- Clear inbox attachments so they aren't exposed
- And use secure and encrypted sending and receiving methods.
