CYBER SECUTIRY

    Nowadays, social networks are increasingly developing, so cyber security plays a very important role in modern life. Cyber ​​security is a protection system on social networks instead of in real life. Social networks are also a platform that contains many dangers and crimes. These cyber-attacks often aim to access, change or destroy sensitive information; extort users through illegal software; or disrupt normal business processes.

 

    Preventing cyber security is more difficult than preventing real-life crime because there are many advanced devices that support fraud as well as many criminals hiding behind computer screens, making it difficult to find these people

 

    A successful cyber security posture has many layers of protection that span the computers, networks, programs or data that people intend to keep safe. Within an organization, a unified threat management gateway can automate integration across products and accelerate key security operations functions: detection, investigation, and remediation. People, processes, and technology must all complement each other to create an effective defense against cyberattacks.

 

    These are some common threats to cybersecurity, such as Ransomware attack, Online fraud, Infringe on DN email, Supply chain attack, Cyber-attack on IoT devices, Necessary steps to ensure digital security 

• Ransomware attack: One of the most common cyber-attacks is the use of ransomware. It involves criminals finding vulnerabilities in the victim's device, encrypting data, and requiring payment to unlock. They can gain access by sending malicious links via email and taking control of the device after someone clicks on the link.
• Online fraud: Anyone who uses email or social media encounters online scams. These are online tactics used to ask individuals to share sensitive information such as passwords or install malware (malware) on their devices. Cybercriminals also use social fraud techniques - psychological manipulation and deception of people - to gain access.
• Infringe on DN email: The DN email breach involves a fake attack - successfully using fake identity as an employee to convince C-Suite employees to disclose important company data. Criminals can persuade senior officials via email to transfer money or provide access to business networks.
• Supply chain attack: Some exploitable areas are third-party suppliers and partners, which may lack a high level of protection, making them easily targeted by hackers. If the partner provides software in the supply chain, cybercriminals can put malicious code into the application, giving them access.
• Cyber attack on IoT devices: Finally, the development of the Internet of Things (IoT) - devices connected to each other to exchange data and perform certain functions - has created a new vulnerability for hackers to exploit. Too many devices are often connected at any time, sharing information in real time.
• Some problems with IoT include the need for more privacy, inadequate data encryption, possible identity theft, weak user account authentication, etc.

 

    In short, everyone should be very careful when using social media, especially personal information such as IDs, phone numbers, home addresses, and relationships. There are some tips to protect people in social media like Protect your email by using a strong and separate password Cyber ​​criminals can use your email to access many of your personal accounts, leaving you vulnerable to identity theft. install the latest software and app updates. Software and app updates contain vital security updates to help protect your devices from cyber criminals.
