IT system and data security is no simple matter for professionals. This is especially true given the growing threat they face, with ever-increasing attempts at phishing and ransomware attacks, for example. There are several ways to respond to these threats and solutions can be put in place. But it all starts with awareness, so that problems can be avoided and people know how to react if it’s too late. Tyrex tells you more.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Cybersecurity has become a major challenge for businesses. Few professionals can do without IT and\/or new technologies. But their use inevitably represents a risk, which is growing year on year. It is therefore essential to protect yourself. This is the principle of cybersecurity: putting policies and measures in place to prevent cyberattacks by protecting various elements (IT systems, applications, devices, data, etc.).<\/span><\/p>\n According to the government website for cybersecurity assistance and prevention<\/a>, account hacking was the leading reason for searches by businesses and organisations in 2023, up 26%. This was followed by phishing (+21%) and ransomware attacks (+17%). The attacks that increased the most compared to 2022 were fake transfer orders (+62.7%), as well as professional websites with site defacement (+61%) and denial of service (+41%).<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The first step in implementing a cybersecurity strategy may be to identify the risks. It may be wise to know what information hackers might be interested in, such as the personal and\/or financial data of your employees or customers, and sensitive\/critical data. Once identified, it will be easier to protect them and implement a more targeted awareness strategy for your employees. Also be careful with the tools you use, as they could be easily hacked.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n It may be useful to carry out a kind of audit of this data to identify major risks and put a framework in place<\/a> (e.g. restricting access to certain data or tools).<\/span><\/p>\nCybersecurity in the workplace: a major challenge<\/span><\/h2>\n
