CYBER CRIME
In computers and computer networks an attack is any attempt to expose, alter, disable, destroy, steal or gain unauthorized access to or make unauthorized use of an asset.
[1] A cyberattack is any type of offensive maneuver that targets computer information systems, infrastructures, computer networks, or personal computer devices. An attacker is a person or process that attempts to access data, functions or other restricted areas of the system without authorization, potentially with malicious intent.
[2] Depending on context, cyberattacks can be part of cyberwarfare or cyberterrorism. A cyberattack can be employed by sovereign states, individuals, groups, society or organizations, and it may originate from an anonymous source. A product that facilitates a cyberattack is sometimes called a cyber weapon.
A cyberattack may steal, alter, or destroy a specified target by hacking into a susceptible system. [3] Cyberattacks can range from installing spyware on a personal computer to attempting to destroy the infrastructure of entire nations. Legal experts are seeking to limit the use of the term to incidents causing physical damage, distinguishing it from the more routine data breaches and broader hacking activities.[4]
Cyberattacks have become increasingly sophisticated and dangerous.
[4] An "inside attack" is an attack initiated by an entity inside the security perimeter (an "insider"), i.e., an entity that is authorized to access system resources but uses them in a way not approved by those who granted the authorization.
[5] An "outside attack" is initiated from outside the perimeter, by an unauthorized or illegitimate user of the system (an "outsider"). In the Internet, potential outside attackers range from amateur pranksters to organized criminals, international terrorists, and hostile government
[6] A resource (both physical or logical), called an asset, can have one or more vulnerabilities that can be exploited by a threat agent in a threat action. As a result, the confidentiality, integrity or availability of resources may be compromised. Potentially, the damage may extend to resources in addition to the one initially identified as vulnerable, including further resources of the organization, and the resources of other involved parties (customers, suppliers).
[9] The so-called CIA triad is the basis of information security.
The attack can be active when it attempts to alter system resources or affect their operation: so it compromises integrity or availability. A "passive attack" attempts to learn or make use of information from the system but does not affect system resources: so it compromises confidentiality.
[10] A threat is a potential for violation of security, which exists when there is a circumstance, capability, action or event that could breach security and cause harm. That is, a threat is a possible danger that might exploit a vulnerability. A threat can be either "intentional" or "accidental"
[11] An attack should led to a security incident i.e. a security event that involves a security violation. In other words, a security-relevant system event in which the system's security policy is disobeyed or otherwise breached.
SOLUTIONS FOR A SMALL BUSINESS
ORGANIZATION
There many public typically only hears about cyberattacks against high-profile companies, banks and government websites, small businesses make prime targets for cybercriminals, competitors and disgruntled parties. Yet, due to their lack of resources, small businesses have the least-protected websites, accounts and network systems, making cyberattacks a relatively easy job.
1. Comodo
When it comes to low-cost security solutions, you usually get what you pay for. Comodo is a global, award-winning security provider that offers free and affordable security tools that don't compromise on features and reliability. Solutions include Comodo One, the company's free IT management platform that features remote monitoring and management (RMM), patch management and Service Desk all in one place; Comodo SecureBox to shield apps from malware-infected devices; and Comodo Advanced Endpoint to automatically prevent malware from entering networks. Small businesses can also enjoy a free antivirus, free and paid SSL certificates, free internet security, mobile device management, firewall protection, security for POS systems, and many other services. Comodo offers these platforms for free because it features an app store where you can purchase add-ons and enhanced security features. 2. Xirrus Wi-Fi Inspector
Most businesses that have local area network use wireless LAN connections, which are fast and efficient but still vulnerable to attacks from outside parties. Xirrus Wi-Fi Inspector provides central control for your WLAN, giving you more authority to monitor and protect your network. Attackers can make their way into an unprotected WLAN, but Xirrus Wi-Fi Inspector examines traffic and clients, guarding against abnormal activity and detecting unauthorized access points.
3. Lookout Mobile Security
It's not just computers that are at risk for security breaches. Lookout Mobile Security is all about protecting your business from cyberattacks on phones and tablets. It works by predicting, anticipating and shielding against all types of mobile threats, such as malware, data leakages, and the risks associated with side loaded apps and jailbroken devices. Lookout also gives you complete visibility over your devices and offers advanced tools to manage risks, vet software and app vendors, investigate incidences, and ensure compliance with security regulations and company policies.
4. Social-Engineer
Cybersecurity starts from the inside. A business can implement all sorts of cybersecurity measures, but if its employees don't get training to avoid traps like phishing, cyberattacks are just a few clicks away. Social-Engineer.com helps organizations identify risk areas and how malicious attackers can exploit vulnerabilities to gain unauthorized access to infrastructures. Employees receive training using social engineering risk assessments and tests that simulate real-life events and mimic attacks. Social-Engineer provides online and onsite training, and it can customize programs based on individual needs and requirements.
5. HTTPS Everywhere
Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) communication has become the standard for websites to protect data when users log in to accounts, make online purchases and complete other transactions. You can tell when a website uses this protocol because "https://" appears in front of the URL. Nevertheless, it's typically limited to select webpages and are often combined with non-HTTPS protected pages, compromising your security. You can make web browsing more secure with HTTPS Everywhere, a browser extension for Firefox, Chrome, Opera and Android web browsers released by the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
