Cyber-Attacks on The Rise

Large organizations are often featured in the news after becoming victims of a data breach. Many of these organization experience loses of revenue and reputation. The global cost of cybercrime has now reached as much as $600 billion according to recent reports however we seldom hear reports of Cybercrimes involving small business. According to a report by Verizon, 61 percent of data breach victims are small businesses. NEC announced in November 2018 , the development of a technology for automatically identifying the risk of cyberattacks. Cyberattack simulations are created using analysis knowledge based on attacks utilizing e-mail and the Web, data falsification, spoofing, and attacks on isolated networks utilizing a USB and other techniques, in addition to knowledge about software vulnerability and attack techniques that are extremely sophisticated and hard to understand. This makes it possible to create an exhaustive range of realistic attack simulations. With cyber-attacks on the rise small business must take steps to prevent loss of revenue and damage to their reputation. Until now reliable affordable protection was only available to large corporations with budgets for cyber security risk management. Now thanks to NEC, advanced network protection is available to business of all sizes. Unified Threat Management (UTM) is a security appliance that can provide protection from various cyber-attack threats. Contact our service department to discuss implementing a Unified Threat Management system to protect your organization from Cybercrimes.
