Our Cybersecurity blog keeps you up to date on the topics of Phishing, Social Engineering and Awareness and provides information on innovative solutions in the field of IT-Security.
Lesezeit: 2 Two-factor authentication (2FA) is used by most web services to protect users’ login credentials. However, phishing kits exploit the weaknesses of 2FA to launch cyberattacks. Reliable protection is provided by a sustainable security culture!
Lesezeit: 2 The growing prevalence of sophisticated phishing kits raises fears of a veritable wave of attacks on two-factor authentication (2FA). To protect your employees from the theft of confidential login data, companies should invest in state-of-the-art technology and effective security training as soon as possible.
Lesezeit: 2 People learn differently. Differently fast. With different pleasure. Using different media. The choice of the appropriate media depends on one’s own learning preferences. While some prefer to learn auditorily, others prefer to learn visually. Some prefer to read rather than watch an explanatory video. It is obvious that the different preferred forms of learning play a major role in the design of a strong security awareness training. However, in view of the findings of the forgetting curve according to Dr. Ebbinghaus, even more needs to be taken into account in the course of the training.
Lesezeit: 2 Phishing has become a well-known problem for companies of all industries and sizes. To actively combat this, some companies rely on anti-phishing banners. These are displayed in the header of external emails and make it clear: “Caution, this email comes from outside and is NOT from your company”. The goal is to make the workforce aware of the danger. The problem: Even these banners do not offer 100 percent protection. On the contrary. They can even open the door to hackers.
Lesezeit: 2 IT-Security Awareness Training, with the patented technologies of IT-Seal, saves up to 3 working hours per user per year. With a large workforce this means a correspondingly large saving. In addition, the risk of an IT security incident is reduced by 77% after only 6 months of training with IT-Seal! The Return on Security Invest (=ROSI) can therefore be clearly quantified and is therefore a solid argument for starting a joint training!
Lesezeit: 2 Healthcare, and by extension hospitals, are among the industries most vulnerable to cyberattacks. A report from the HHS Cybersecurity Program, published in the summer of 2021, identifies 82 ransomware incidents, 60% of which affect the US healthcare sector. It also indicates that hospitals are responsible for about 30% of all major data breaches. Thus, cyberattacks on healthcare, in 2020 alone, caused an estimated cost of $21 billion.
