Achieving corporate compromise through physical attacks
The topic of cyber security includes all IT-related processes - these include, for example, network security, program security, operational security, information security, disaster recovery plans, etc.
The scope of cybersecurity includes communication, application, as well as processes and processed information. Cyber security challenges include hacker attacks, tight budgets, lack of resources and the human factor in raising awareness.
The tactics of cybercriminals are constantly changing, which is why implementing effective cybersecurity measures is crucial.
Statistics show that cyber attacks are now more lucrative than the drug market (worldwide). The attack vectors on companies have multiplied greatly in times of digitization, from IoT, home office to mobile device management. This gives attackers far more opportunities to identify and attack a target.
Risk management is essential in connection with cyber security. In other words, a risk analysis is carried out in order to be able to create different levels of protection. A holistic approach must then be taken, which aims in particular for constant IT security training for employees and the protective mechanisms of classic perimeter-based solutions up to zero-trust solutions.
Achieving corporate compromise through physical attacks
Identifying and attacking possible targets in the network or from the Internet
Obtaining security-relevant information about the human factor
The exploitation of process weaknesses within a company
Although Industry 4.0 generally promises more efficiency and flexibility, the smart networking of production and logistics to the customer and/or back also results in more and more attack vectors. The process of increasing networking and digitization requires a few basic rules that must be observed.
Some examples:
Due to a lack of resources or a lack of budget, however, things look different in practice. The various areas of a company are merging more and more and there are no longer any demarcations. Various other potentials such as cloud connection or similar increase the problem.
This can have enormous effects as well as entire failures of the IT landscape or the entire digital company processes.
This marks one of the most common and promising types of cyber attacks Phishing. The attacker uses fake e-mails or websites to try to get hold of a user's data or to compromise the company's IT landscape.
Denotes malware that is smuggled in via a Trojan. A classic gateway is an e-mail attachment in the form of an Office document that is opened by the user - sometimes this is also a link for a file download. The most well-known example of this is 'Emotet'.
The psychological manipulation of people to obtain confidential information; often overlaps with phishing.
Step by step you can take the right measures in terms of cyber security.
This includes our philosophy: Proact, Proceed, Protect
The penetration test involves manually checking IT systems for vulnerabilities and attack vectors. A realistic attack is simulated within a defined framework.
At ProSec GmbH, we attach great importance to cyber security: For this reason, we offer your company various options for taking proactive and preventive action against the risks listed above.
ProSec offers user awareness training for employees and cyber security training for IT specialists.
