Regardless of the sector or type of activity carried out by the company, it inevitably produces and manipulates important information that directly contributes to business continuity. And this data is part of the company's routine, such as customer registration, orders, budgets, projects, proposals, among others. For this reason, the level of internet security should be a constant concern for managers.
Just as technology advances every day, cybercriminals also find increasingly cunning ways to break into systems and steal information. The need to protect this information became even greater with the emergence of the LGPD – General Data Protection Law .
Through an efficient strategy focused on data protection, the company can ensure that information is kept out of the reach of criminals, avoiding any type of damage to the business.
Why is security important?
The internet has become indispensable for carrying out essential tasks , making it practically impossible to run a business without the help of this resource. Due to this wide use, it is also a very dangerous environment, which brings several threats to information security.
We were able to see with the latest cyber attacks that any company can be the target of this type of attack, regardless of segment or size. And they can happen with different objectives, such as:
- Take down systems;
- Steal confidential or valuable data for the company or market;
- Carry out financial diversions ;
- Corrupt data and information;
- Steal personal and financial from customers;
- Leaking important information.
What are the main cyber attacks today?
Using traps that are arranged in different ways, criminals are able to cause various losses to companies . The main cyber attacks currently are:
- DDoS attack : in this type of attack, criminals overload a company's networks and systems, damaging the availability and continuity of services;
- Ransomware : just like in a kidnapping, in this type of cyber attack criminals steal a company's confidential information or take down networks or servers, demanding the payment of a sum to release the data;
- Phishing : this is one of the most common types of attacks found on the internet, and are planted in fake emails, banners, malicious links, corrupted downloads, among others. Although it seems like a less aggressive attack, this is one of the biggest threats on the internet.
These attacks can come from several fronts, and it is necessary to find intelligent tools that allow greater control of internet access . Without adequate training, employees can create points of vulnerability that facilitate access by criminals and harm the smooth running of the company's activities.
How to bring more security to the company?
Although having security tools and software is essential, it is important that there is an efficient policy for use on the corporate internet in order to avoid this type of problem .
