Have cyber threats evolved in 2022?
In 2022, cyber threats continue to evolve and adapt to new environments. Cybercriminals are more sophisticated than ever, using increasingly advanced techniques to compromise corporate networks and data. Ransomware, phishing, and security vulnerability exploitation attacks are becoming more common. It is therefore important to know the new threats to better protect yourself.

The dangers of remote working:
Telework has become a reality for many businesses, but it has also created new vulnerabilities. Remote workers often use personal devices to access company data, which can put network security at risk.
As a result, organizations must adopt a Zero Trust strategy to ensure that only authorized individuals can access sensitive data. Zero Trust involves verifying every access request, regardless of the source, by ensuring the identity of the user, the context of the request and the security status of the device being used.
Quelles sont les faiblesses les plus exploitées ?
Les cybercriminels exploitent souvent les faiblesses les plus courantes, telles que les mots de passe faibles, les logiciels obsolètes, les failles de sécurité non corrigées et les erreurs humaines. Les attaques de phishing utilisent souvent des e-mails de phishing contenant des liens malveillants ou des pièces jointes infectées.
Les attaques par ransomware peuvent également être déclenchées par des erreurs humaines, telles que le téléchargement d’un fichier malveillant. Il est donc important de sensibiliser les employés à la sécurité informatique et de mettre en place des mesures de sécurité robustes.
Should I consider taking out insurance?
In today's hyper-connected world, cyber security is of paramount importance. With the rapid growth of technology comes a significant increase in cybercrime.
This means that companies, regardless of size or industry, must take proactive steps to protect their sensitive data from cyberattacks. Unfortunately, even with strict security measures in place, breaches can still occur. That's where cyber insurance comes in.
This type of insurance gives businesses peace of mind by providing a range of financial protections in the event of a cyber attack. Cyber insurance covers such things as data recovery costs, crisis management and customer notification. It can also help businesses compensate for lost revenue due to network unavailability or loss of sensitive data. However, each business is unique, so it's important to assess individual risks and needs to determine if cyber insurance is the right choice for your business.
Small and medium-sized enterprises: Not sufficiently prepared?
Small and medium-sized businesses are often the most vulnerable to computer attacks, as they often have limited resources to invest in IT security. However, most attacks can be prevented by adopting basic security measures, such as regularly updating software, educating employees about computer security and using strong passwords. Businesses of all sizes need to take IT security seriously and take a proactive approach to protecting themselves against ever-changing threats.
