Cryptomining infections are growing exponentially this year. Bad guys are hijacking your network processing power to steal your workstation and server resources. They are using various families of malware trying to stay under your radar.
Quantum computing is a game-changer and will have a huge impact on the way we do business, safeguard data, explore space, and even predict weather events. Yet, some experts say, in the not so distant future, quantum computers will break existing public key cryptography forever. Roger Grimes, KnowBe4's Data-Driven Defense Evangelist, explores the ways bad guys will be able to use the quantum computing break to learn more secrets than ever before and use that information in increasingly sophisticated spear-phishing attacks.
The bad guys are getting very creative, impersonating an executive in your organization and asking for financial reports or they ask employees in payroll to make changes to bank accounts. According to the FBI, their efforts have earned them an estimated $12 billion through Business Email Compromise also known as CEO fraud scams. Defending against these types of phishing attacks is possible by layering technical and non-technical controls.
When it comes to combating the growing number of cyber security threats, most organizations continue to place more trust in technology-based solutions than on training their employees to be more aware of the threat landscape and able to recognize the red flags in cyber breach attempts.
