Data interception poses a significant threat to businesses of all sizes. By understanding the risks, implementing robust security measures, and fostering a culture of security awareness, C-Suite executives can protect sensitive data in transit and mitigate the potential consequences of data breaches.
As Gen Z and Gen Alpha continue to grow and shape the digital world, their relationship with cyber security will be critical to the future of online safety. While they face unique challenges due to their deep integration into the digital realm, they also hold the potential to become the cyber security leaders of tomorrow. Through education, awareness, and corporate investment, we can ensure that these generations are well-equipped to protect themselves—and their organisations—from the ever-evolving threats of the cyber world.
Eavesdropping, or passive surveillance, is a clandestine method that involves intercepting and monitoring communications without the knowledge or consent of those involved. This silent threat can pose significant risks to businesses, particularly those with confidential data and mission-critical operations.
Whaling attacks, a sophisticated form of cybercrime, have become a significant cyber threat to businesses of all sizes. Targeting high-profile individuals within organisations, these attacks exploit the trust and authority of C-Level executives to deceive employees into performing fraudulent actions. Attackers can trick employees into transferring funds, disclosing sensitive information, or compromising critical systems by impersonating top executives.
In today’s digital age, mobile devices have become indispensable to our personal and professional lives. As businesses increasingly lean on mobile apps for customer engagement, internal operations, and data access, the risk of cyberattacks targeting these applications has also grown. One particularly insidious threat is using Progressive Web Applications (PWAs) as a vehicle for phishing attacks.
Phishing attacks have evolved significantly over the recent years, and using PWAs has added a new dimension to this threat. Cybercriminals can leverage the legitimacy and trust associated with PWAs to trick unsuspecting users into divulging sensitive information.
