Though remote working has its many benefits, it does, unfortunately, go hand in hand with the increased risk of security breaches. With reports that nearly half (46%) of companies plan to implement a flexible, hybrid workforce in the future, it’s time to put our cyber habits under the microscope.

Cybercriminals will continue to hack, regardless. To them, every moment matters, whether we’ve suffered enough during the pandemic or not. The pandemic saw cloud-based systems for staff collaboration adopted en masse. This left many businesses vulnerable to attack from opportunistic criminals looking to target remote workers.

The rushed adjustment to new ways of working may have caused employees and organisations to overlook existing cyber security processes. Although system vulnerabilities may increase, remote workers aren’t destined to fall victim to attacks. You can avoid them and take steps to prevent them. By adopting cyber security best practices, businesses can reduce, or even eliminate, the threat of an attack altogether.

Research shows that 55% of companies believe digital transformation will have the largest impact on workplace transformation, with 67% of companies stating that cyber security and data security is the highest priority.

What is Good Cyber Hygiene and Why is it important for Businesses?

Cyber hygiene relates to the processes and precautions that businesses take to protect critical IT systems and keep confidential data secure from external threats. By implementing good cyber hygiene, businesses are more capable of warding off system deterioration and avoiding security risks. Protect personal and business data by following best practices, and prevent cyber criminals from breaching your networks and devices. Maintaining good cyber hygiene also helps with the maintenance of device functionality. It reduces exposure to outside risks that could hinder performance.

But these processes and precautions don’t just consist of completing a few tasks or ticking multiple boxes. They form part of an ongoing routine that businesses should regularly adhere to.

How Staff and Businesses Can Protect Themselves Remotely

Implementing cyber security best practices amongst your business and remote workers is much easier when you have an effective plan in place. These plans and processes can include, or be supported by sharing additional guidance material to keep online activity in check. For example, this could include privacy policies, support guides and most importantly, education and training.

Prior to drawing up cyber plans, businesses need to lay down the foundations of maintenance and security best practices for all employees to follow. It is the group effort that’ll make the difference in working together to safeguard the business as a whole.

Performing Regular Maintenance

If there’s a missing link in your IT software or systems, hackers will be sure to find it and take full advantage. Businesses will need to perform regular maintenance on their digital technologies to avoid this. This ensures IT software and systems are kept secure and stable, while remote workers can operate effectively. Basic IT maintenance involves:

• Performing updates – Often built into computer operating systems, undertaking regular updates is easy. In doing so, the software is kept up to date, improvements are made to computer security and any bugs are fixed. These updates will protect your computer and data from system issues and cyber security threats.
• Installing antivirus software – If you haven’t already, it’s a good idea for employers to invest in antivirus software for staff devices. It just takes one click from an unsafe website for malware to be deployed onto your system. Perform regular scans to make sure your computer is running properly and data is kept safe.
• Managing disk space – Software will stop working if your computer’s hard disk fills up. To avoid this and free up space, you can uninstall programs you no longer use and delete files you don’t need. Be sure to also clear up your recycle bin, where files go before they are removed from your device permanently.
• Enabling backup and recovery – The last thing you want to happen is for important data to be lost entirely, or worse, stolen by hackers. External hard drives are a good way to store excess files in case of a breach. Make use of your Mac or PC internal backup software to protect your files. With cloud systems, work is backed up automatically.
• Updating system patches – Patches are conducted to repair vulnerabilities or flaws within system versions, upgrades and features. These solutions are an investment that all businesses running large systems with lots of applications should consider, as patch management will scan, detect and fix errors to improve cyber health.

Enhancing Security Measures

Whilst predicting and preparing for future threats is difficult, by implementing enhanced security measures your business won’t be constantly on the lookout. By adopting security best practices, company devices and systems will remain protected. These top tips can also be applied to reflect our everyday digital habits and personal use of devices. To be smarter with security, we can adopt the following best practices:

• Creating strong passwords – If a similar username and password combinations are used across different sites, this is an easy way for hackers to steal your information. By making sure each password is unique and difficult to crack, you can easily eliminate the risk of a data breach. Many sites now aid the creation of strong passwords by suggesting the use of at least 8 characters, a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers and special characters. To help keep track of these passwords you can use a Password Manager.
• Avoiding phishing – Staff should remain vigilant for phishing scams that distribute information from what appear to be legitimate sources in an attempt to steal your sensitive information, credentials or data. These can come in many forms – websites, adverts, texts, phone calls and emails. With just one click, malware can be automatically downloaded and installed onto your software, or by inputting your details, identity theft can be committed.
• Using two-factor authentication – Though it can be a pain and slow login time, two-factor authentication creates an added layer of security by verifying your identity in at least two different forms. These include something you are (biometric recognition), something you know (password) and something you have (mobile phone). You’ll receive notifications of these login requests which helps in identifying if someone is trying to wrongly access your account or software.
• Identity and Access Management (IAM) – By adopting this framework, businesses will be armed with the ability to identify users, authenticate said identities and authorise the appropriate access. Having IAM policies and procedures in place will help to avoid identity theft and granting wrongful access to sensitive information. Find out more about IAM in our recent blog.
• Connecting to Wi-Fi networks cautiously – With remote working, it may be the case that you’ll be working away from the office or home environment from time to time. In this instance, it’s important to ensure you aren’t connecting to unsecured, public Wi-Fi networks as this will make it easier for cybercriminals to access your information.

Year-on-year, attack, breach and incident rates have continued to rise by 15% within the cyber world. In addition, PurpleSec reported that cyber crime is up 600% as a result of the COVID-19 fallout. As remote working left us more vulnerable to attack, hackers thrived off increased opportunities to strike. Going into 2022, there are a number of cyber security trends to watch out for. We can expect cyber criminals to get smarter, more advanced and more efficient in finding ways to harvest our data, with attack rates likely to rise.

As 68% of business leaders feel their cyber security risks are increasing, this must be counteracted by recognising the benefits of investing in effective cyber security solutions to safeguard data, assets and systems this new year. To mitigate risk, we must be proactive.

Rising Cyber Threats in 2022

Cyber security risk management has become a prominent topic for board discussion in recent years, with many C-Suite executives now deeming it a top business priority. And it makes sense, following an escalation of malicious cyber incidents experienced last year, many of which were fueled by increased internet use during the pandemic. As 2021 was deemed the year of ransomware, following rampant attacks on organisations like Kaseya and Colonial Pipeline, the severity of cyber crime left board members realising the significance of investing in effective, ongoing security solutions. To understand what to look out for, let’s dive deeper into the rising cyber threats, trends and predictions for 2022.

Social Engineering via Social Media

While we’re used to sharing personal information online, access to technology is becoming more widely available, as is the use of social media platforms. However this material can be taken advantage of once it’s out in the open. A celebratory new job post to our close network can very be exploited by criminals, putting you and your workplace at risk. Social media has become a treasure trove of easily-accessible information for online criminals; exploitation is simplified when social engineering manipulation comes into play.

So, what is social engineering? It is when a hacker plays on human interaction by using malicious activities to psychologically manipulate us into giving away sensitive information, compromise security, or transfer money. The emotional responses triggered can easily convince us to release private information to the aggravator. In addition, Chetan Conikee, CTO at ShiftLeftshares, comments on the disturbing AI advancements to social engineering methods, “Deepfake is a recently developed mechanism to create fake videos or audios, especially to create riots or to spread wrong information. Hackers use AI-based technology to create counterfeit videos by swapping people’s faces and modifying their speech.”

In September 2021, scammers posted a deepfake video featuring Oleg Tinkov, founder of Tinkoff Bank in Russia, calling on people to use the bank’s investment tools, promising to give every client 50% of the amount of investment as a bonus. After clicking the link, users were led to a fake website which requested personal information, leaving sensitive data in the hands of exploiting criminals.

Where the majority of cyber attacks are reliant on social engineering, so we must understand these tactics to avoid risk. Phishing is the most common attack, but social engineering only succeeds when users respond with an action. To stay safe, we need to think before we act.

Ransomware Attacks Through Phishing

As cyber hack methods adapt and grow, some approaches have remained just as powerfully damaging, with the new year predicting a particular increase in ransomware attacks through its most common form, phishing. Ransomware attacks involve the encryption of malware onto systems, networks and devices to hold a victim’s information at ransom and deny access to critical files. Victims are threatened with demands for money in exchange for access, which is where phishing comes into play. React to the information and you’ll be caught in the crossfire of a smart phishing attack.

The National Cyber Security Centre reported three times as many ransomware attacks in Q1 2021 as there were in 2019 entirely. With research by PwC suggesting that 61% of technology executives expect this to increase in 2022, the attack method is becoming highly intelligent and lucrative. As an increasingly popular method of attack, organisations need to educate staff on how to implement good cyber hygiene (both at home and in the office) and adopt solid security plans to include effective prevention tactics to remove the threat entirely.

Internet of Things (IoT) Vulnerabilities

Technology intelligence across the globe is advancing every second, resulting in a demand for the newest gadget for both personal use and business development. So, as device ownership rockets, so does the number of internet-connected tools. Ericsson expressed that the rate of connected devices (IoT) is estimated to reach 18 billion by 2022. But, like anything, of course, it comes with risk. Cyber criminals are being granted easy opportunities to attack with increased device access points to secure digital systems.

For individuals, this could include an increased risk on household appliances as access to IoT is widespread across varied technologies. Whilst for organisations, attacks are widespread across industries, targeting the infrastructure of warehouses, farming, manufacturing and office based-businesses. IoT vulnerabilities are the root cause for many privacy breaches, resulting in huge legislative penalties for violation of industry-standard regulations, such as GDPR. Many devices are left vulnerable as they lack the necessary built-in security controls to combat attacks. These limited functions indicate a need to seek advanced protection methods with the help of cyber security providers who can safeguard our critical data and important assets.

Though hard to avoid with rapid usage rates, we can improve our experience with devices, technologies and mechanical inventory, and decrease the risk of attack, by using them safely and performing updates when necessary. It’s time to keep the villains astray.

Supply Chain Cyber Security Risks

Pre-pandemic, cyber security supply chains were an afterthought for organisations, with key stakeholders defined, relationships well-managed and processes running smoothly. But the impact of COVID-19 soon took its toll and production was hit hard by widespread delays and shortages affecting normal business operation. This was no different for the digital world, as cyber supply chain problems became a critical issue for many businesses.

Cyber supply chains consist of a collection of resources, including cloud-based systems, on-site storage, software and hardware and methods of distribution. As cyber supply chains work within a digital landscape, points of attack are easily identifiable by criminals. Weakened links can generate greater chances of attack, and vulnerabilities can turn to opportunities for criminals to exploit. By targeting just one person in the operation, and infiltrating key systems and deploying ransomware attacks, criminals can bring the whole supply chain to a halt. Stakeholders need to ensure security processes (like constant monitoring and risk analysis) are embedded in the early stages of cyber strategy, and avoid compromising business operations further down the line.

Such attacks have escalated by 650% since mid-2020, due to the infiltration of open source software, according to a Sonatype study. The fallouts were brought to light following an attack on SolarWinds at the peak of the pandemic in 2020. Compromised software resulted in Russian intelligence gaining access to the data of 18,000 SolarWinds customers. A year on, the attack has forced organisations to gain a better grasp of the need for clarity and understanding into the origin and integrity of software. But hope is not lost – in November 2021, the UK Government released a policy paper seeking feedback from organisations who currently manage supply chain cyber security risk, providing an outline on how additional government support would help to overcome such challenges.

API in Cloud Computing

As we experience a rise in malicious activity, security leaders will need to work with their development teams to monitor API behaviour and regulate what data is being accessed by the API, and by whom. But what is ‘API’ and how can it jeopardise our cyber security? API, short for Application Programming Interface, defines the protocols for building and integrating computing software. They work by allowing your digital systems to communicate and connect with other computing products and services, so everything is in sync and can run efficiently. And as long as cloud and on-site applications continue to use public (easily accessible) APIs, we’ll continue to see a rise in scraping and bot attacks on applications.

According to Salt Security’s State of API Security for Q3 2021 research, 91% of respondents experienced an API security incident last year, where vulnerabilities (54%) and authentication issues (46%) topped the list, followed by bot/scraping (20%) and DoS attacks (19%). Though, this data provides insights for attacks on standard computer-to-computer API’s, not cloud-based systems, in which the risk of a breach is even higher.

So, how can we try to tackle the rising issue? Before going live with cloud-based APIs, organisations should implement penetration testing to ensure all vulnerabilities are detected and eliminated. Businesses will need to invest in better security prevention technologies that can address bot protection, API and application security, and data leak prevention. Plus, analysis of entitlements, through identity and access management, is key tactic in making sure criminals are not wrongly given access to critical data.

According to Prakash Sinha, Technology Evangelist and Senior Director of Corporate Marketing at Radware, we should expect to see bigger investments in more advanced visibility tools in 2022, as well as forensics tools that provide actionable insight for management, monitoring, auditing, compliance, and troubleshooting.

Cyber Attack Prevention Methods

As cyber security trends for 2022 predict increased threats, businesses must arm themselves with the necessary technologies and solutions to detect, manage and implement security tactics to avoid falling victim to attack. Whilst there are many ways we can work towards creating a safer 2022, it’s not a one-stop-solution kind of approach. For complete protection, you’ll need to adopt a combination of the following within your cyber security strategy for this year.

• Always assume the worst, so you’ll always be ready to counteract an attack. If you fail to prepare, be prepared to fail.
• Use cyber technologies to monitor systems to detect vulnerabilities before it’s too late, and get these fixed!
• Take caution with suspicious communication. Think before you click links, download attachments or share personal information. Consider whether the source is trustworthy.
• Create safety strategies and social media policies to educate employees on how to stay safe online. Outline avoidance tactics and indicators for an attack.
• Employ email filtering by setting spam filters to high so malicious messages do not reach your inbox.
• Update systems, applications and devices to patch vulnerabilities.
• Adopt identity and access management processes for systems that contain sensitive company data, by applying methods like Multi-Factor Authentication to restrict unwarranted access.
• Backup files regularly to avoid mass data loss in the instance of attack.
• Complete audits on IoT devices to ensure company-approved programs and systems are being used.
• Implement Artificial Intelligence (AI) machine learning across systems to identify patterns of behaviour and detect future risks.

The opportunity for cyber criminals to commit online fraud by stealing identities is widespread, with 37% of all breaches involving the use of stolen credentials. To avoid falling victim, we need to safeguard our digital footprint and identities. Keep your important data padlocked by granting keys to strictly authorised users only. Don’t let intruders unlock access to your important assets…

Protect what matters the most by having a strong cyber security plan ready to go if an emergency strikes. An important part of that consists of implementing Identity and Access Management processes within your business, especially for large-scale workforces with growing teams. There’s no use in sharing sensitive data amongst staff without having secure user control and access management in place. The two should go hand in hand!

Due to the rise in remote working and expanding staff bases, confidential data is more likely to be exposed. Prioritising your business’ security has never been more important. The new normal – relying on cloud-based, collaborative systems – carries greater risks than internal data sharing and access. And the risk of falling victim to cyber crime is hard for any business to bounce back from.

So, What Is Identity & Access Management?

Identity and Access Management (IAM or IdAM) consists of products, policies and processes that ensures the right users have appropriate access to internal systems and technology resources. In a nutshell, it verifies that you are who you claim to be (authentication) and grants you access to what you’re allowed to see (authorisation). It aims to prevent cybercriminals from breaking through business barriers, emphasising the importance of having effective IAM procedures in place.

Identity and Access Management systems have three key aims: to identify, authenticate and authorise. The core components that make up an IAM framework include:

• Users’ identities and access privileges database

• The ability to create, monitor, modify and delete access privileges

• A system for auditing login and access history

Failure to define the roles and access privileges amongst network users can increase your risk of a security breach. It may be the case that Identity and Access Management is the missing link within your business’ security plan. Research shows that 44% of security professionals believe an IAM solution will address their current security gaps.

Whilst IAM is a useful tool, it might be one your organisation hasn’t considered. Not having it in place can increase the likelihood of attack. Identity and Access related breaches result in huge negative consequences. These can include data loss (60%), compromised accounts or credentials (52%), ransomware infections (47%), malware infections (29%) and financial loss (18%).

The Benefits of Identity & Access Management

But, it’s not all bad news – these damages can be avoided. With secure user control and access management, businesses will see the advantages of keeping their digital data safe. Let’s take a look at the benefits of IAM:

• Enhances security – The most important benefit of IAM. By controlling user access, companies can eliminate the chances of a data breach, identity theft and illegal access to confidential information. IAM can prevent the escalation of compromised login details, avoid unauthorised entry to internal networks, and provide protection against potential cyber-attacks.

• Improves user experience – Reduce the need to enter multiple passwords to access systems by using a combination of the following: Single Sign-On (SSO) with one-time user verification, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for added protection that requires codes to access, Biometric Authentication like fingerprints and facial recognition, and Risk-Based Authentication where risks are detected due to differentiating IP addresses.

• Streamlines IT workloads and reduces IT costs – Access privileges can be changed altogether, at the same time, when security policies are updated. IAM can reduce password reset requests by creating automated procedures for tiresome IT tasks, therefore reducing internal costs required for additional IT staff.

• Increases productivity and collaboration – Organisations can provide users outside of their network with access to their systems safely without putting security on the line.

• Helps with compliance – Allowing businesses to meet the requirements of industry regulations or implement IAM best practices.

How Your Business Can Implement Identity & Access Management

If navigating IAM processes to protect your business data feels overwhelming, don’t worry. Check out the tips below to get started, which include a mix of human-focused and technical solutions.

• Strengthen access – Ensure you have a strong password policy in place for all employees to view. It should include tips on how to create, store and share passwords safely. It’s a good idea to consider password management solutions. These involve storing passwords within encrypted vaults and providing password generator tools.

Invest in Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions to monitor and control the access and authorisation of users. PAM increases security by ensuring that only correct and verified users can access data. What they are able to access is based on their assigned roles and responsibilities. Hackers target these accounts the most because of their higher-level control, so it’s important to keep them extra secure.

• Authenticate users – Enforce Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) methods. Users need to prove their identities in two or more ways to ensure they receive the correct access. This avoids the chance of unauthorised, illegal access outside of your organisation.

• Educate employees – If your employees are more vigilant, they’ll be more alert, and better at identifying areas within the business that may be vulnerable to attack. Adapting a more forward-thinking approach will keep organisations protected and encourage safe user activity, which is especially important with remote working. Investing in security training solutions will prove worthwhile for businesses as a way to increase safety awareness amongst staff and ensure good cyber hygiene.

Though it may be the last thing on our minds right now, the reality is, cyber attacks tend to peak during the Christmas period. As we drop our guard, hackers rise to the opportunity. A survey by Cybereason showed that 86% of cybersecurity professionals across the globe indicated a concern for repeat cyber intrusions over this year’s festive season, with 36% stating they had no specific contingency plans in place for a response. Don’t let cyber criminals have the final sleigh. Get protected, and fast, with these Christmas cyber security tips!

For most, Christmas is the time of giving, spreading festive cheer and showing love. But for cyber criminals, it’s the prime time to stock up on opportunities to take advantage of our weaknesses. Santa’s not the only one who can sneak in undetected – cyber criminals can do it too, and dare we say it, but they can do it better. So, whilst we’re sporting our Christmas jumpers, celebrating over a glass of Champagne and winding down for a well-needed break, hackers are ready and waiting to attack, preying on our unattended critical systems.

To mitigate the risk of cyber threats for your organisation, it’s important to invest in solid security plans that’ll keep you protected when you need it most. After all, cyber security solutions are for life, not just for Christmas. As the gift that keeps on giving, you’ll want to make sure you’ve bagged yours in time. That’s why we’ve rounded up some on common Christmas cyber security tips to protect your network over the holidays.

What Should I Be Looking Out For?

With reduced teams and interim IT skeleton staff to cover the workload, businesses could be leaving themselves vulnerable to attack. As we switch off for the festive break, priorities shift. At this point, cybersecurity may no longer be at the top of the list, but it sure needs to be. When businesses leave critical systems, networks, and data unsupervised, they grant hackers their Christmas wish: easy targets with easy access.

The Christmas period sees huge increases in retail e-commerce activity, and off the back of this, cybercriminals thrive. By posing as reputable, legitimate companies, hackers can have you in the palm of their hand in just one click. As 80% of cyber attacks start through phishing, it won’t be hard for hackers to worm their way through the mass emails hitting your inbox. We can put our feet up and enjoy our downtime, whilst simultaneously being vigilant. And businesses aren’t exempt from this, as harmful emails can catch you out in the most unsuspecting ways. Go check that those spam filters are on point!

It may sound obvious, but with desks unoccupied for some time, it’ll be a good idea to ensure that confidential information is filed away. This is one of the most important Christmas cyber security tips. Don’t leave passwords out on post-it for all to see, as you never know what prying Scrooges might have access. The same goes for data-storing devices like USB sticks and hard drives, keep them locked away! The more attentive we are, the better we can stay protected.

What Security Measures Can I Take to Prevent an Attack?

Here are some Christmas cyber security tips on how to safeguard your staff and business over the festive break.

• Implement incident response plans in case of emergency. If your cyber strategy isn’t strong enough to counteract an attack – or you haven’t been able to identify areas of weakness – your systems will likely be vulnerable to infiltration. Arm your teams with technical response capabilities to prepare for an attack at all times.

• Educate both permanent and temporary staff on common Christmas cyber security tips. The more they know, the better they’ll be able to ward off potential threats. It’s a joint effort, after all – it only takes one click to put the whole business at risk. Ensure these practices are communicated clearly and effectively amongst your organisation.

• Perform regular patch and system updates to repair vulnerabilities and flaws within versions, upgrades and features. We want to be lighting up our trees, not our vulnerabilities.

• Enable two-factor authentication across critical systems and programs to avoid letting in you-know-who. Ensure you’ve invested in password management for a safe place to keep all your logins whilst you’re away, as writing them down will no longer do. Think about implementing identity and access management tools to let the right users in, and keep the wrong ones out. We see you, logging in from home…

• Be wary of connecting to public Wi-Fi networks whilst you’re browsing as that will make it easier for criminals to get hold of your private data due to easily-accessible networks.

• Apply good cyber hygiene learnt at work at home, too! Cybercriminals don’t just target cooperations, but every one of us, at any time. Think about your increased device use this Christmas, as it’s easy to get caught off guard when you’re least expecting it.

The Impact of Cyber Crime on Your Business

The negative impact that a cyber attack can have on your business is disastrous. With such long-lasting damage, you’ll more likely be cursed this New Year than blessed if your company takes a hit. Having a strong cyber plan in place might seem like a big stretch and dent on your bank balance, but believe us when we say it’s probably the most worthwhile thing you’ll ever do for your business. If you don’t, yule sure be sorry. One of the biggest Christmas cyber security tips we can give you is to invest in long-term protection. This way, you can avoid the following:

• Long-term reputational and legal damage
• Financial loss affecting the operation of the wider business with budgets adjusted and projects paused to counteract the impact
• An unmotivated, disgruntled workforce for having to work overtime to investigate the incident and recover what was lost
• Loss of customer loyalty, sales and trust
• Business leaders experiencing feelings of regret thanks to hindsight, having not invested in cyber security

New Year, Same Priorities

According to the National Institute for Standards and Technology, 2021 is already a record year for cyber vulnerabilities, on a five-year high. As cyber strategies and solutions strengthen, and the number of skilled professionals in the field increase, ringing in the New Year with a statistical break doesn’t seem as big an ask. Cybercrime is an ongoing battle, one that we won’t win without putting in extra time, effort and dedication from collective resources. So, if you haven’t invested in security solutions to safeguard your business, there’s no better time than now. Or, if you’re managing to stay on top of it, keep it going! Don’t let cybercriminals take the happy out of the new year, for ‘tis the season to be jolly, not melancholy.

At Infosec K2K, we’re here to help whatever stage of the cyber security journey you’re on, as keeping your assets protected is our utmost priority. The last thing we’d want is for you to take a hit this festive season. For prevention from attack, our Vulnerability Management solutions are the perfect gift.
