Why the Concern Around Security?

 

Work styles have changed forever, and many businesses are still trying to adjust to how they manage security, backup and business continuity. Furthermore, when it comes to staff devices, there are some areas of concern across both personal and those that are company-owned.

1. Is the local internet secure without the corporate firewall?
2. Do they have up to date anti-virus software?
3. How is the data being backed up?
4. Are the personal devices being patched?
5. Do administrators have visibility across personal devices?
6. Are the assets secure from being lost or stolen?

What Are the Threats?

 

Every year, CERT NZ notes a substantial increase in the number of reports of malicious cyber activity, particularly at the “low end,” where a criminal will try to trick people into downloading malware or to enter details into a phishing website. 

Text Message Scams

Phishing Scams

Cyber criminals frequently use text messages as a way of directing people to links that are not legitimate and may well install malware or steal personal information like bank details.   Phishing emails remain endlessly popular, with subject matter that speaks to the topics and news that is current at the day. The email is not legitimate and instead installs malware on the device that is designed to steal personal information.
