Did you know, you're in the "invisible war"?
Cyber security is a very important part of running a business. There is an ever evolving invisible war going on right now, and it's non stop! This war is unlike any war you've seen or heard of before. Instead of countries attacking each other using ground troops, airstrikes, bombs, bullets, tanks, etc... This new war includes the entire internet, every business, every connected devices and person. Instead of ground troops, this war includes hackers, nation state backed bad actors, and other advanced persistent threats (APTs) along with cyber criminals. Instead of bombs and bullets, they use exploits, viruses, malware, ransomware, trojans, spyware, backdoors, rootkits, phishing, RATs, worms to name a few commonly seen tactics. These folks are after making money and disrupting your businesses operations. The attackers pull this off via ransoming access to your data and/or to your systems, stealing identities, credit cards, personal health information, intellectual property, gaining unauthorized access to email boxes, networks and systems to launch further attacks from. They conduct data breaches, spying, industrial espionage and social engineering to further achieve their goals. On average, ransomware demands $6 million dollars for the decryption keys. On average it takes companies over 250 days to figure out they have been hacked. Most of the time these companies find out via a 3 letter agency such as the FBI, NSA and/or the CIA contacting them about their breach.
