Latest Managed IT, Cybersecurity, Cloud + DevOps News

Cybersecurity is a growing concern. With the increasing use of technology, it has become easier for cybercriminals to infiltrate personal information, steal money or even commit acts of terrorism.

As the manufacturing industry moves forward with its digital transformation initiatives, the risk of cybersecurity threats and attacks increases substantially.

Cyberattacks on the biotechnology industry are increasing, and becoming more sophisticated. Biotech companies are under increasing daily attacks, from brute force and phishing attempts, to targeting of vulnerable web apps.

In today's evolving cybersecurity landscape, it's important to ensure your business data is as safe as possible. Cybercrime has increased by 600% in the last two years, since the pandemic forced businesses to shift to more remote working. With such a high risk of a potential threat to your business, it's vital to make sure you're ready and prepared for the eventual attack.

The use of technology in today's world has brought with it an increase in cyber-attacks. The annual rate of attacks is surprisingly high, and the number of attacks is continuously increasing, with recent reports that a cyber-attack is launched every 39 seconds. Threat actors have latched onto the same technology that businesses use for cybersecurity and are automating their attacks to compromise networks, endpoints, and IT environments. Many companies are not yet prepared to deal with the volume and sophistication of today's automated threat landscape, making it difficult to anticipate where they may next be under attack.

Data breaches are unfortunately a common occurrence in the digital age. Even businesses with strict data security and IT policies can become victims.

Heightened cybersecurity is important in all industries and organizations today, as cyber-attacks continue to increase.

Impressive advances in automation technology have had a big impact in various industries, streamlining and accelerating many aspects of business. At the same time, intelligent automation has removed mundane and repetitive tasks from employees, freeing them to focus on more high-level tasks and projects.

The increased number of organized supply chain attacks since 2020 has pushed cyber security into the spotlight, as the threat landscape continues to intensify and evolve.

In today’s ever-evolving digital world, it is becoming increasingly urgent to ensure you, your business, and your customers’ data are protected from malicious threats like malware or Trojans. Data hacks and security breaches are on the rise in 2021 –with the number of breaches this year already exceeding 2020 – and you need to stay prepared and alert.

Abstract As the entire world is under the grip of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), and as many are eagerly trying to explain the origins of the virus and cause of the pandemic, it is imperative to place more attention on related potential biosafety risks. Biology and biotechnology have changed dramatically during the last ten years or so. Their reliance on digitization, automation, and their cyber-overlaps have created new vulnerabilities for unintended consequences and potentials for intended exploitation that are mostly under-appreciated.
