Cyber threat and vulnerability management has never faced so many challenges. While there are many digital vulnerability scanning tools to prevent different attacks and detect different types of cyber threats, the effectiveness of these digital tools lies in applying good cybersecurity practices in your company.
Prevent the hijacking of your information
One of the most recognized viruses or malware is ransomware. It is a type of malware or malicious code that infects in order to prevent the use of your computers or systems.
How does ransomware work? The cybercriminal takes control of your computers or systems that they have infected and Kidnaps by encrypting the information, blocking the screen, preventing you from accessing it completely because you no longer have authorization. In those cases, to regain control of your information, you will have to pay the ransom in order to have access to your systems again.
Ransomware is just one example of what can happen in your organization as a result of not having cybersecurity measures in place that can provide you with advanced digital protection.
The absence or lack of updating of cybersecurity tools puts your company at risk from:
✓) Theft and/or leakage of information
✓) Data penetration
✓) Virus infection
✓) SQL Injection
✓) DDoS
✓) Zero-Day Attacks
✓) Hash Exploitation
Protect your business from cyberattacks
Implement international frameworks or standards. These are frameworks that aim to facilitate the solution of cybersecurity problems. For example, when you apply ethical hacking (EH) scanning and application vulnerability analysis to your systems, you are carrying out digital security processes in accordance with best practices such as OWASP methodologies, NIST standards, and cybersecurity tools.
