2023: Enterprises must optimize their IT defenses

Cyber ​​criminals never stand still. They constantly improve their methods and intensify their attacks on available targets. In 2023, companies will once again be faced with the task of further optimizing their IT defenses. When it comes to cyber insurance, a good defense is also expected or there is no policy. 2022 was not a quiet year for IT security either. Hackers have crossed new borders: Organized criminals attacked governments, like Conti in the Costa Rica case. The Lapsus$ group attacked well-known players in the digital economy such as Microsoft, Nvidia, Uber, Globant and others. Hacker collectives developed sophisticated, powerful tools for…

Electric cars: cyber threat to charging stations

If the IT security of the charging stations continues to be neglected, this could slow down the progress of electric vehicles in society and offer new targets for hackers. Because these are simply other IoT devices connected to the Internet. The virtual threats of EV charging stations are becoming more and more real. This could delay the spread of electric vehicles and hamper government mandated efforts to combat climate change. The target set by the federal government is, for example, to reduce emissions from traffic by 2030 to 40 percent by 42. Meanwhile, the European Parliament is aiming for a complete ban on…

Medical facilities: 90 percent had data breach

As a study shows: 9 out of 10 IT professionals in the healthcare industry attest to deficiencies in the security of patient data. Over 90% of healthcare facilities in Germany have already suffered a data protection incident. According to a recent study by SOTI entitled "A crucial investment: At the pulse of technology in healthcare", 91% of healthcare facilities in Germany (70% worldwide) have suffered at least one data protection incident since 2020. Still, 83% of respondents (76% globally) believe that full digitization of medical records can improve data security and reduce the risk...

IoT security cameras: a found fodder for hackers

IoT security cameras are connected to both the company network and the Internet, and transmit large amounts of data to recording systems in the company or in the cloud. Implementation should be rigorously planned and ongoing monitoring implemented. Since these points are often neglected, IoT security cameras are often a target for hackers. Internet-connected security cameras can be found everywhere these days - in public institutions, businesses and even in homes. The market is estimated to be around $2021 billion in 50 and is growing rapidly. Every day, hundreds of thousands of IoT security cameras are deployed worldwide...

| Bitdefender, Stories

Cyber ​​security: IP cameras, building access solutions, sensors on assembly lines or printers connected to the web are making the front line of companies to the Internet increasingly confusing and increasing the potential for attack. Four arguments for a "security perspective" on the Internet of Things. If you want to protect yourself against hackers from the Internet of Things, you need more information and access to the IoT hardware - through extended endpoint security. This applies to all companies - especially for production and healthcare, which integrate IoT directly and very strongly into their processes. New IoT hardware due to pandemic…

Study: vulnerable IoT in medicine, production and KRITIS

IoT Security Report 2022 uncovers significant gaps in cyber security. A study reveals many vulnerable IoT systems in the areas of medicine, production and KRITIS. Business leaders should think about increasing liability. Cyber ​​security is still thought of in silos - that is the conclusion of a study by the specialist for IoT security ONEKEY. “In many cases, companies and entrepreneurs still think in classic silos when it comes to IT security. The immediately growing risk of many different firmware versions in IoT systems is often overlooked,” warns Jan Wendenburg, Managing Director of ONEKEY. Highest IoT threat in medicine To the areas…

Is it an attack on IoT? – six analysis tips!

Hardware connected to the Internet of Things (IoT) can receive and forward not only data but also commands or malware code under external control. Existing sensors must not be blind spots in IT security. Six tips for detecting and analyzing attacks from the Internet of Things. IT security managers need defense methods that can detect, analyze and ward off an attack, for example via an IP camera or other sensors. Anyone who sees the resulting network traffic can block attacks at an early stage or quickly contain them in an emergency. Network Detection and Response (NDR) is a part…
