Why You Need A Cyber Security Audit

60% of all small businesses that get hacked go out of business. Why? Because:

  1. They have to potentially pay large fines if they do not report the breach to their clients properly
  2. Their customers lose trust in them when they find out their personal data is exposed to the internet
  3. They potentially lose all their business data and cannot keep running the business without it

    CYBER SECURITY THREATS TO BUSINESSES

    Phishing is a type of hacking that deceives users into downloading malicious messages. This scam is disguised as a legitimate email, complete with legitimate-looking links, attachments, business names, and logos. The email convinces recipients to act, such as clicking on a link or downloading an attachment.

    Additionally, a phishing email may use a clickbait subject line to catch your attention. Whale phishing is another type of email phishing attack that targets business executives. Alternatively, spear-phishing targets specific business members with emails to steal information.

    Threats

    PHISHING

    While email phishing is the most frequently mentioned type, phishing can take on additional forms. Smishing, for example, sends SMS messages designed to entice users to click on dangerous links. On the other hand, vishing sends fraudulent phone calls and voice messages posing as legitimate businesses. Search engine phishing is a more recent type of phishing in which hackers create bogus online websites and manipulate search engine rankings to steal customers’ information. According to a recent Cisco study, —2021 cyber security Gold Coast threat trends: phishing and cryptocurrency are on the rise—86 percent of organizations reported having at least one user connect to a phishing site. As a result, a single incorrect click by an employee can expose a business to significant risk.

    Threats

    MALWARE

    Malware, also known as malicious software, compromises devices by significantly slowing them down or shutting them down. It infects computers with Trojan malware, spyware, ransomware, adware, and worms. Malware can be installed on a computer by clicking on an infected link, downloading a file or piece of content from an unknown source, clicking on a pop-up advertisement, or downloading an email attachment from an unknown sender. Once malware is installed on a computer system, hackers can access passwords, credit card numbers, banking data and personnel files, among other things. Over the last year, businesses reported that 35% of malware attacks they encountered used previously unknown malware or methods. Unfortunately, as more employees work remotely, this threat to cyber security on the Gold Coast will continue to grow.

    Threats

    RANSOMWARE

    Ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts a user’s computer data. Once a ransomware attack is launched, users lose access to their systems and files. Users must pay a ransom fee to cybercriminals to regain access to their systems. Bitcoin is frequently used in ransom transactions. Cybercriminals may request alternative forms of payment, such as Amazon gift cards. The ransom price can vary significantly, ranging from a few hundred dollars to thousands of dollars or more. Nevertheless, many organizations that pay the ransom do not regain access to their systems. Ransomware is frequently spread via a malicious download attached to a phishing email. Individual employees or entire organizations can be the target of an attack. Throughout the pandemic, a significant 58 percent of businesses around a world reported revenue loss directly due to a ransomware attack.

    A cyber security audit by Netlogyx involves checking your IT systems regularly to ensure no holes in your systems that could allow unauthorized access. Businesses are increasingly vulnerable to hackers’ exploiting holes in their server software, Microsoft Windows, and apps used every day. We recommend that an audit on your cyber security on the Gold Coast be performed regularly, at least monthly, since hackers are constantly finding new ways to gain access to business systems.
