Spotting Cyber Attacks

Threats. Attacks. They’re dramatic words in the world of IT, and for good reason. A breach in security can bring a business to its knees literally overnight. However, these attacks don’t always make such a dramatic appearance. In fact, they can sneak in quietly, from seemingly trustworthy sources.  

You are most likely already taking familiar steps to protect your business: 

• Avoid clicking on spam messages or ads
• Install spyware and malware
• Create strong passwords
• Don’t give out sensitive business or personal information 

These steps are important but do not guarantee airtight protection. In today’s sophisticated, far-reaching world of technology and cyber crime, threats like “zero-day attacks,” for example, can identify previously unknown system vulnerabilities and strike without the user’s awareness. The malware used in these attacks can turn the host—yes, your computer—into a “zombie” machine that targets and compromises other machines with exponential efficiency. By the time anyone becomes aware of the problem, damage has already been done.

These devious attacks can circumvent even sophisticated protections that businesses may put in place, destroying assets you thought were safe. The most common attacks, however, can be diverted by implementing basic protections, protecting those vital assets. Professional cyber security experts know how to identify and stop these ever-evolving threats, keeping several steps ahead.
