Hacker-Tackling Cyber Security Services

The primary role of cyber security is the protection of the integrity of your business’ computing systems and the IT network. It does this by preventing the unauthorised access of sensitive data and information.

Whenever a hacker attempts to breach your system and steal sensitive or valuable information from your business it counts as a cyber security attack. Such attacks are disruptive to operations, may compromise your website, or lead to the illegal infiltration of any device connected to the internet.

There are several ways cybercriminals can attack your business, but the four main ones are:

Phishing attacks – when something is sent to you in an attempt to trick you into downloading an infected file or clicking a harmful link.

Ransomware – an incredibly malicious type of software which locks out all your files and data until a ransom is paid to the hacker.

DDoS attacks – these will quickly overwhelm your site with repeated requests for access, causing your website to shut down for a significant amount of time.

Computer viruses – these are pieces of code or programs that fundamentally change the way your computer operates.

Due to the constant evolution of technology the threat from cyber security is increasing exponentially. Threats grow more sophisticated, diverse and intense each year, with a higher volume of attacks. 

Malware, hacking, cyber terrorism and ransomware are part of an expanding landscape of threats. Protecting your data is more difficult each year, yet while cyber threats are increasing, measures designed to combat them are also growing more powerful as the tech geeks rally to the fight and wield their considerable magic to combat the threat.
