Better Safe Than Sorry: All about cybersecurity

Cybersecurity is an ever-expanding branch of IT that encompasses a range of programs, tactics, and behaviours that serve to prevent a third party from accessing sensitive information. It can be applied to any space, field, or situation that requires protecting data stored on various programs, sites, and devices, including but not limited to mobile phones, laptops, e-mail accounts, cloud servers, pendrives, and so on. Any device that has access to the internet, or even another device that has this access in the case of pendrives, is at risk of being hacked and used to extract sensitive information.

These measures can prevent sensitive information from being stolen, misused, leaked, or in some cases held hostage. They also serve to protect networks from being breached and/or damaged. Data that may be stolen ranges from medical history in the case of health providers, credit card details, private photos, or even military intel. There are many reasons for hacker attacks. The most common ones are financial gain, undermining trust in a person, causing fear or panic, and sometimes even sheer curiosity. They are conducted through an array of methods, including psychological manipulation, exploiting loopholes in systems, or overloading networks with traffic.

Both the number and level of sophistication of such attacks have increased rapidly in recent years. Just within the first three quarters of 2019, over 7 billion various records have been compromised due to various hacker attacks, which is over double the number that was recorded in the previous year. Because of this, it’s very important to make sure you are doing your best to secure yourself, your family, or your company from hackers, viruses, and malicious software.

This live-streamed webinar will provide you with all the important information about recognizing, avoiding, and securing against such attacks. You will learn everything you need to know about all the various methods and techniques that can be used to hack individuals, companies, or networks, as well as how to defend against them in the best possible manner.
