security
Businesses can have their data hacked through phishing, malware, or social media.
These threats can come from a variety of sources and it’s important to have a firm like HLB that is aware of the risks that are out there and can help your business better navigate the cyber security landscape.
defining cyber
Cyber security is a big concern for many people. With the increasing numbers of cyber attacks and breaches happening every day, it’s understandable why people are so worried. Cyber security is not just about protecting your company or your personal data from hackers; it also protects you from identity theft, fraud, and other crimes that can occur online.
Types of Security
HLB recognizes that all layers of cyber security including Application Security, Network Security, and Cloud Security are essential components of building a product that works. It’s important for your customers, your business and your bottom line.
Types of Threats
Cybercriminals are using the internet and its many different channels to access your business. There's a lot of ways they can do this, but they generally try to get into your system through malicious softwares including ransomware, spyware, and malware.
types of security
Application Security
The need for application security is at an all-time high. As companies rely more on technology to run their business, they are targets of cybercriminals. There are many benefits including low fraud rates and increased productivity. Additionally, with application security in place, you’ll be able to identify vulnerabilities and take corrective action in advance of exploits happening.
Network Security
Most business networks are set up with antivirus and firewall protection. These tools are valuable, but they're not enough to keep your system safe from hackers. You need to also watch for potential signs of hacking, and always be on the lookout for cybercriminals who might be trying to access your company's systems.
Cloud Security
Many organizations still don’t have a clear understanding of how valuable the information in their systems really is and how much risk they are taking on when storing it online. This can lead to an underestimation of the risks and a misunderstanding about what needs to be done in order to protect it better.
cyber threats
Security is a major concern for businesses of all shapes and sizes. With an ever-growing number of hackers, cyber criminals, and data thieves, it’s essential to keep your business safe. Businesses need to ensure that all security practices are in place to protect themselves from the threats of the digital age whether it be human or computer-based hacking
Ransomware
Ransomware is one of the most prevalent types of cyber-crime. It can render your computer unusable until you pay a ransom. The most common type of ransomware is "ransomware that encrypts data on a target's hard drive, with the goal of demanding payment for decryption." As soon as the ransomware infects your computer, it will encrypt all your personal files, which means you wouldn't be able to access them without paying a ransom - and then would have to pay again if you want them back.
Spyware
Spyware is a type of malicious software programmed to covertly monitor and gain information about the user without their knowledge or consent. It can take screenshots, steal passwords, record conversations, and much more. Spyware can be downloaded from the internet as an ad-supported application or through infected files in email attachments. As technology becomes more advanced, spyware must also become more sophisticated to keep up with it.
Malware
The consequences of a data breach can be devastating. A data breach could lead to identity theft, credit card fraud, and damages to your company’s reputation. A data breach could also lead to you losing money with fines from the FTC or other regulatory agencies. If your company has a lot of sensitive personal information on its servers, it could be fined a great deal of money for violating federal regulations.
