How Does Cyber Technology Affect Security?

December 7, 2022 by Mark Allinson

Cyber technology is the foundation of the present day’s digital society. It is what we require for automated vehicles, online meetings, the IoT, and all the other things that change how we live.

However, it also puts a lot of pressure on our data’s security and the internet’s dependability. Just as when you face an issue with your network, you instantly wonder what’s the Summer service number to Spectrum.

Likewise, when you come across technical issues like data breaches, you immediately think of getting in touch with cybersecurity teams for quick resolutions of the problems.

A solid cybersecurity plan offers an effective security stance in reference to malicious assaults made for gaining access to, deleting, altering, extorting, or destroying sensitive systems and data that might belong to a user or business.

Therefore, security measures play an essential part in preventing attacks trying to impair or take down a device or system’s functionality.

Organizational Security Breaches

Hackers are always on the lookout for finding opportunities to lure in employees for exploitation through scams and social engineering. This contributes to a major part of any company’s security breaches.

As technology advances, so do the skills of hackers in finding loopholes and gaps in the security systems of organizations. This results in the hackers gaining access to the secured data and files, which poses a critical cybersecurity threat.

Social Media Privacy Breaches

Apart from hackers gaining access to your personal information through social media platforms, they can also know your exact locality at any given time. This means if the hackers figure out where you currently are, they also get an idea of where you’re not.

Social media platforms usually give users the option of checking in wherever they go, be it a restaurant, work, school, or even movie theatres. Hence, a lot of people get to know of your outings and the time of your outings very easily.

They do so by seeing your profile on social media. Your safety and valuables can easily be put to risk because of the indicator that informs users that you’re not at home.

With the advancement in mobile technology, there has also been a massive increase in threats regarding mobile cybersecurity. Smartphones hold much more data as compared to the previous older models and a vast majority of people use them.

With the addition of every new tablet, phone, or mobile device, the chances of cyber attackers gaining access to people’s personal information increase. Moreover, since a lot of mobile devices are plugged into computers for charging, malware issues can be caused in various devices because of sharing ports for charging.

Spear Phishing

Contrary to regular phishing emails targeting random people, hackers leading spear phishing frauds seek information for business secrets, monetary gains, and private information. Spear phishing usually takes place when employees are targeted by hackers.

This is done through emails appearing to be sent by colleagues from their own companies. This allows cybercriminals to easily steal personal data.

Thus, hackers are now able to disguise as the employees of an organization and send emails to other members of the staff with the advancement in technology. Therefore, making spear phishing a major cybersecurity risk.

In order to reveal passwords and download manipulative codes, cyber criminals take advantage of social media. They do so by engaging in schemes related to identity theft.

By hacking into a users’ social media account and accessing information, professional hackers can get into your account for work email, personal email, or even bank information.

Generally, users share their age, name, hometown, family members, and birthday on social media platforms. While there are others who even reveal their phone numbers, home addresses, and even constant location updates. Such information proves as a perfect opportunity for hackers to steal your online identity.

Digitalized Data

In today’s day and age, where almost everything has gone digital now, information on hard copies is becoming less common. Even though the data is usually password protected, most of the data is stored on shared networks.

This may result in a hacker gaining access to the shared network. Moreover, they it may help them in obtaining confidential information that could put the business or individuals at risk.

Additional potential cybersecurity threats can be faced since more businesses are saving information and documents to cloud networks and shifting towards cloud computing.

Since storage and cloud computing is cost-effective and efficient, this method is widely used by many businesses. To safeguard data in the cloud, however, some complex security procedures should be implemented.

Cybersecurity Threats

The great technological progression brings forth with it a bigger risk of cybersecurity threats and hackers too. Hence, it is essential that all companies put security measures in place to combat the changing patterns even as this technology is always evolving.
