As businesses increasingly rely on the internet to conduct their operations, cyber threats are becoming more frequent and sophisticated. Cybercriminals use a variety of tactics to steal sensitive data, compromise systems, and extort money from businesses. In this blog post, we’ll explore the dark side of the internet and provide tips on how Lyons Technology Solutions can help protect your business from cyber threats.
- Ransomware: Ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts your files and demands payment in exchange for the decryption key. Cybercriminals often distribute ransomware through phishing emails or malicious websites. Ransomware attacks have become increasingly common in recent years, with high-profile victims including hospitals, universities, and government agencies. At Lyons Technology Solutions, we can help protect your business from ransomware with our comprehensive cybersecurity solutions, including email filtering, antivirus software, and network monitoring.
- Phishing scams: Phishing scams are designed to trick users into giving away sensitive information such as login credentials or credit card numbers. Cybercriminals often impersonate trusted organizations such as banks or government agencies to gain users’ trust. Phishing scams can be conducted via email, social media, or other online platforms. According to a recent report by the Anti-Phishing Working Group, phishing attacks increased by 22% in 2021 compared to the previous year. At Lyons Technology Solutions, we can help protect your business from phishing scams with employee training, spam filters, and other cybersecurity measures.
- Malware: Malware is a type of software that’s designed to harm your computer or steal your data. Cybercriminals often use malware to gain access to sensitive information or to control your computer remotely. Malware can be spread through email attachments, malicious websites, or other means. A recent study by AV-TEST found that over 350,000 new malware samples are created every day. At Lyons Technology Solutions, we can help protect your business from malware with our comprehensive cybersecurity solutions, including antivirus software, firewalls, and network monitoring.
- Insider threats: Insider threats refer to employees or other authorized individuals who intentionally or unintentionally compromise your business’s security. Insider threats can include stealing sensitive data, sharing passwords, or accidentally downloading malware. Insider threats can be difficult to detect and prevent, as they often have legitimate access to your business’s systems and data. At Lyons Technology Solutions, we can help protect your business from insider threats with employee training, access controls, and other cybersecurity measures.
