Over-the-Air Attacks: Unseen Threats to Wireless Communication and How C-Suite Leaders Can Mitigate Risks

by

Over-the-Air (OTA) attacks are a category of cyberattacks that exploit wireless communication technologies such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC (Near Field Communication), and cellular networks. These attacks can intercept, eavesdrop, or alter data transmitted over these channels, often without the victim’s knowledge.

### **Key Characteristics of OTA Attacks**

1. **Remote Exploitation**: Attackers can operate from a distance, eliminating the need for physical access to the device.
2. **Wide Attack Surface**: The ubiquity of wireless devices in enterprises expands the potential entry points for attackers.
3. **Stealthy Execution**: Many OTA attacks are designed to be undetectable, operating silently in the background.

IoT Replay Attacks: Safeguarding Business Integrity and Security

by

An IoT replay attack occurs when a malicious actor intercepts communication between IoT devices and replays this data to execute unauthorised actions. These attacks can exploit weaknesses in communication protocols, allowing the attacker to impersonate a legitimate user, manipulate data, or gain unauthorised access to sensitive information.

IoT Ransomware: The Emerging Threat to Enterprise Operations and How to Mitigate It

by

IoT ransomware operates similarly to traditional ransomware but targets IoT devices instead of conventional endpoints like computers or servers. Once IoT ransomware gains access to an IoT device, it can:
