How can companies protect themselves from cyber attacks?

The authors of the study advise paying attention to the network literacy of employees, introducing periodic password changes and their increased complexity requirements, as well as regularly updating the software and installing reliable encryption of all local resources.

But the main conclusion is that employees need to be tested according to the MBTI method and each person should be given personal instructions based on their personality type.

This will help to achieve maximum response even from those who know nothing about phishing and cyber fraudsters.

The study showed that there is no significant relationship between compliance with cybersecurity measures and the group characteristics of the respondents, such as country, gender, age or industry.

The Computer Network Support Specialists are the trained experts and are extremely helpful in the computer networking of an organization.

But there are still some differences. Thus, older people, on average, performed better than young people. Those who have already encountered online scams or phishing are much more circumspect. The British and employees of large companies (500+ people) are less likely to share their password with loved ones than the Americans and employees of small organizations. Full-time workers are more likely to face attacks than part-time workers.

DDoS Can Mask Security Breaches

Cyber criminals launch low-threshold DDoS attacks— also known as “Dark DDoS”—because they are a cheap and easy way to infiltrate and map a network. Because the attacks are so short – typically less than five minutes in duration – they are usually not detected by security teams or traditional DDoS scrubbing solutions. Because these attacks typically require very little bandwidth to execute, they are nearly impossible to detect without an advanced in-line DDoS protection solution that has granular detection capabilities. Stop denial of service attack In cases where the IT security staff do notice a DDoS attack in progress, the attack often serves as a decoy to distract security staff while hackers stealthily find pathways and test for vulnerabilities within a network. Hackers may install malware to ex-filtrate sensitive data such as email addresses or credit card numbers or corporate intellectual property. In addition, hackers may “own” or “enslave” the network so it can later be ex

Algorithm for troubleshooting computer problems

If you encounter problems with your computer and its hardware, you must act correctly. If the problem is with the hardware, for example, the printer does not print, you should start looking for the problem from that device. First, you need to check the printer's electrical and computer connections. Perhaps this step will fix the problem. Secondly, you need to make sure that the printer is displayed and ready to use in the Device Manager on your computer. This indicates that the device is correctly installed and configured, connected to the mains. Thirdly, you need to check if the paper is jammed in the printer and if there is toner in the cartridge. If there are problems with connecting the device, paper jams or the toner in the cartridge has run out, then such problems are solved by quickly eliminating the cause of the malfunction (correcting the cable, removing the jammed paper, refilling the cartridge). If the problem is in the "Device Manager" , the computer does not

What does data science have in store for 2021?

 Data is everywhere. In an increasingly digital world, the science that brings them together and analyzes them is constantly increasing in importance. 2020 was a year that presented us with new Artificial Intelligence interfaces, the improvement of existing ones and brought up issues like LGPD and how the analysis of the information we leave on the networks is made. But what awaits us in 2021? Several factors are expected to influence the labor market.  Know more:  Managed Storage Services And one of them is on the date of arrival in the market of young native people, who already see the world with great familiarity in data analysis. As Lucy Kosturko, manager of social innovation at SAS, pointed out, these young people live in this ecosystem from the moment they eat until they go to sleep. This generation that has an understanding and tracking of data acquired in an innate way and certainly their actions will mark 2021. Faced with scenarios like this, I bring together the three trends
