    The key takeaways are that cybersecurity involves protecting computers, networks and data from malicious attacks. It can be divided into categories like network security, application security, etc.

    Some of the main cybersecurity risks of remote working are lack of security on home networks and devices, family members accessing work devices, and issues with video conferencing software.

    The Internet of Things refers to physical devices that connect to the internet besides traditional devices. It is a growing area that increases opportunities for cybercrime. IoT devices include smart home appliances and wearables.

    What is Cybersecurity?

    BSCOE 4-1
    Cybersecurity
    • Cyber security is the practice of defending computers, servers,
    mobile devices, electronic systems, networks, and data from
    malicious attacks. It's also known as information technology
    security or electronic information security. The term applies in a
    variety of contexts, from business to mobile computing, and can be
    divided into a few common categories.
    • Cybersecurity is the protection of internet-connected systems such
    as hardware, software and data from cyber threats. The practice is
    used by individuals and enterprises to protect against unauthorized
    access to data centers and other computerized systems.
    Trends in Cybersecurity Events
    and Protection Techniques
    1. Remote working cybersecurity risks
    • Since the pandemic, working from home has become much more
    widespread worldwide. Even once the pandemic fades, many
    predict that remote working will remain prevalent across multiple
    sectors. While working from home is convenient and has many
    benefits, it also exposes both individuals and businesses to a range
    of cybersecurity risks. That’s why it is essential to give serious
    consideration to home cybersecurity. By following best practices,
    you can mitigate most cybersecurity work from home threats quite
    easily.
    How to stay safe when working from home
    • 1. Use antivirus and internet security software at home
    • 2. Keep family members away from work devices
    • 3. Invest in a sliding webcam cover
    • 4. Use a VPN
    • 5. Use a centralized storage solution
    • 6. Secure your home Wi-Fi
    • 7. Beware of Zoom and video conferencing
    • 8. Make sure your passwords are strong and secure
    • 9. Protect your online banking
    • 10. Be wary of email scams and your email security
    2. The Internet of Things (IoT) evolving
    • The expanding Internet of Things (IoT) creates more opportunities
    for cybercrime. The Internet of Things refers to physical devices
    other than computers, phones, and servers, which connect to the
    internet and share data. Examples of IoT devices include wearable
    fitness trackers, smart refrigerators, smartwatches, and voice
    assistants like Amazon Echo and Google Home. It is estimated that
    by 2026, there will be 64 billion IoT
    devices installed around the world. The trend towards remote
    working is helping to drive this increase.
    How to protect IoT systems and devices
    • 1. Introduce IoT security during the design phase
    • 2. PKI and digital certificates
    • 3. Network security
    • 4. API security
    3. The Rise of Ransomware
    • Ransomware isn’t a new threat – it’s been around for about two
    decades – but it is a growing one. It’s estimated that there are now
    over 120 separate families of ransomware, and hackers have
    become very adept at hiding malicious code. Ransomware is a
    relatively easy way for hackers to gain financial rewards, which is
    partly behind its rise. 
    Protection against ransomware – how to
    prevent an infection
    • 1. Never click on unsafe links
    • 2. Avoid disclosing personal information
    • 3. Do not open suspicious email attachments
    • 4. Never use unknown USB sticks
    • 5. Keep your programs and operating system up to date
    • 6. Use only known download sources
    • 7. Use VPN services on public Wi-Fi networks
    4. Increase in cloud services and cloud security threats

    • Cloud vulnerability continues to be one of the biggest cyber security


    industry trends. Again, the rapid and widespread adoption of
    remote working following the pandemic increased the necessity for
    cloud-based services and infrastructure drastically, with security
    implications for organizations.
    Tips to Prevent Cloud Security Threats

    • 1. Educate your employees.


    • 2. Secure a data backup plan.
    • 3. Who has access to the data?
    • 4. Encryption is key.
    • 5. Take passwords seriously.
    • 6. Test, test, test.
    • 7. Establish thorough cloud governance policies.
    5. Social Engineering Attacks Getting Smarter

    • Social engineering is the practice of using psychological techniques


    to manipulate behavior. Social engineering happens by exploiting
    human error and encouraging victims to act against their interests.
    In information security, the social engineering definition refers to
    getting people to divulge private data online like login details or
    financial information.
    How to prevent social engineering

    • Change your spam email settings


    • Research the source
    • If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is
    • Use reliable security software
    6. Continued rise of artificial intelligence (AI)

    • The sheer volume of cyber security threats is too much for humans
    to handle alone. As a result, organizations are increasingly turning
    to AI and machine learning to hone their security infrastructure. 
    Privacy Considerations for AI

    • Data accuracy
    • Data protection
    • Data control
    7. Multi-factor authentication improving

    • Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is regarded as the gold standard


    of authentication. However, malicious actors are finding new ways
    to bypass it – specifically, authentication carried out via SMS or
    phone calls
    How to Enhance Your Security Through
    Multi-Factor Authentication

    • The Problem with Traditional Security Methods


    • Adding MFA to an IT Security Strategy
    • Risks and Limitations of MFA
    • Implementing Multi-Factor Authentication Effectively
    • Helping Businesses Secure Their IT Environments
    8. Mobile cybersecurity becoming front and center

    • The trend towards remote working is also accelerating the growth


    of mobile. For remote workers, it’s normal to switch between a
    range of mobile devices, such as tablets and phones, using 
    public Wi-Fi networks and remote collaboration tools. As a result,
    mobile threats continue to grow and evolve. The ongoing rollout of
    5G technology also creates potential security vulnerabilities which,
    as they become known, will need to be patched.
    How to Make Your Mobile Phone Safe
    and Secure 

    • Passwords Are the Key


    • Use Antivirus Software
    • Never Connect to Open or Free WiFi Networks
    • Never Engage With Suspicious Websites or Apps
