How do cybersecurity solutions impact businesses?

 

We all are aware of the almost irreversible damage cyber-threats can cause to businesses. Apart from financial losses, companies have to face the following as well in the event of data breaches:

●     Revising and repurchasing upgraded Cybersecurity technology and expertise

●     Notifying affected parties of a breach

●     Insurance premiums

●     Public relations support

Recent studies suggest that almost 93% of businesses are vulnerable to cyber-attacks and only half are confident in tackling unprecedented advanced attacks. Recent reports reveal that cybercriminals have targeted most businesses with financial motives. There are several ways cybercriminals can try to disrupt a company's everyday activities-

-        Malware

-       Phishing

-       Man-in-the-middle attack

-       DDoS or Denial of service

-       SQL injection

-       Zero-day exploit

-     and DNS Tunneling, among many other types of cyber attacks. Some among the criminals call themselves ‘hacktivists’ who take up vigilante-type roles against private or government agencies and breach their systems to ‘resurrect perceived wrongs or injustices’ and encourage transparency.

Although a considerable percentage of businesses have cybersecurity strategies in place, many still cannot fully recognize their importance. This stands true for small and medium enterprises that cannot defend themselves from cyber threats, leaving them vulnerable to malicious actors. In addition, a lack of awareness and resources makes them much more susceptible and prone to cyber risks.

The seriousness and unmanageable losses of cyberattacks have forced Governments and industry leaders alike to increase their regulation when it comes to cybercrime. The current regulatory policies mandate the following:

○   Communicate data breaches

○   Appoint a data protection officer

○   Require user consent to process information

○   Anonymize data for privacy

It has become imperative for today’s businesses to devise Cyber strategies that should take into account:

○   Information security

○   Network security

○   Application security

○   Infrastructure security

○   Cloud Security

○   Employee security training and awareness

○   Disaster recovery or business continuity

Customers also tend to interact more with businesses that can guarantee maximum data privacy and security in addition to being upfront on how they deal with security issues, what all applications and solutions have been installed etc. Another important thing is that businesses should be wary of low-cost cyber weapons, which may not function correctly and, in turn, make them more prone to phishing attempts, malware, ransomware, attacks on improperly secured Wi-Fi and payment frauds.
