Build an effective Cyber Intelligence security to save your business

The increase in work-from-home policies and other flexible work arrangements has caused many positive developments in workplace practices in the time of the pandemic. But this is also responsible for the increased number of hacks, ransomware attacks and other cybersecurity problems. These crimes are also affecting businesses in several ways.

There are a lot of reasons behind these crimes affecting businesses, but the foremost reason is the inaccessibility of traditional IT teams. As we are working from home, we have adopted DIY approaches to deal with security issues and to maintain our work devices. This has given the chance to hackers to exploit our devices and we have opened up cybersecurity vulnerabilities to the hackers ourselves. The rise of cryptocurrency has made it easier for ransomware attackers to take out all our money. But with the proper implementation of your digital devices, you will be able to minimize the harm to your business by hackers.

Cybercrime mostly starts phishing emails to fake customer service calls. This is why it is important to train the employees of your business who has an access to your business’ computer systems to identify cybersecurity threats. You can also provide your employees with a detailed manual as to what they need to do in what situations. This will reduce the chances of cybersecurity threats such as malware, ransomware attacks, insider exploits, espionage, hacktivism, cybercrime and other emerging threats.

A simple task like checking a suspicious email or attachment can also lead your company to be held for ransom. To prevent this, you should train your employees to report any anomalies they notice. But apart from this, you should also plug into other sources of information such as cybersecurity databases run by the government and private organizations to get the necessary information about cybercrime
