Everything You Need to Know"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>As cyber-attacks continue to soar worldwide, companies are having to greatly enhance their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulatus.com\/data-security.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cybersecurity<\/a> to prevent hackers from accessing their data centers and other computerized systems. By becoming more advanced in their approaches, businesses can develop a secure system to protect their software, hardware, and sensitive data against cyberthreats.<\/p>\n<h2>How Prevalent are Cyber Attacks?<\/h2>\n<p>For many businesses, there is a strong possibility that they will experience some form of a cyberattack. Consider these statistics:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>There has been a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.accenture.com\/us-en\/insights\/security\/cost-cybercrime-study\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">67% increase<\/a> in security breaches in the past five years.<\/li>\n<li>Every 14 seconds, a ransomware attack happens; it is predicted that the rate of attacks will increase to a new attack every two seconds.<\/li>\n<li>The amount of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/chuckbrooks\/2021\/10\/24\/more-alarming-cybersecurity-stats-for-2021-\/?sh=1bb9b4794a36\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">data breaches<\/a> reported publicly through October of 2021 has already surpassed the number that occurred in all of 2020.<\/li>\n<li>By 2024, businesses will lose more than $5 trillion because of cybercrimes.<\/li>\n<li>Cybercrime has increased by <a href=\"https:\/\/purplesec.us\/resources\/cyber-security-statistics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">600%<\/a> because of the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>\u00a0What are the Common Security Threats?<\/h2>\n<p>Along with a growing prevalence of attacks, the sophistication of the threats are increasing. Here are some of the most widely used cyberattacks:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>This dangerous cyberthreat occurs when users are tricked into downloading <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Malware\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">malware<\/a>, which allows cybercriminals to gain access to computers systems. Once they are in the system, the criminals can download a virus or spy on the user\u2019s files and information.<\/li>\n<li>This is a type of malware that allows cybercriminals to lock down a user\u2019s device, then encrypt it, causing it to be inoperable. Then the attacker demands a large amount of money in order for the user to regain access.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.consumer.ftc.gov\/articles\/how-recognize-and-avoid-phishing-scams\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Phishing<\/a>.\u00a0Through emails and social media outlets, cybercriminals entice users to click on links that can end up in the user providing financial data and other sensitive information.<\/li>\n<li>Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS).\u00a0In this <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Denial-of-service_attack\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">attack<\/a>, the perpetrator floods a company\u2019s server with requests from several sources, causing the server to drastically slow down or even crash.<\/li>\n<li>Password theft.\u00a0This is one of the ways that cyber-attackers can gain access to a huge amount of confidential data. Once they have figured out the password to a network, they can retrieve just about any material they want, such as credit card and bank account information.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What is the Impact on Businesses?<\/h2>\n<p>The impact on a business that has experienced a cyberattack is huge and can be catastrophic to the company. Some of the results of a cyberattack are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Damage to the company\u2019s reputation. Although the business is the victim of the attack, it can take a long time to regain customers\u2019 trust. As such, businesses could experience a loss of sales, customers, and profits.<\/li>\n<li>A major <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/financial-edge\/0112\/3-ways-cyber-crime-impacts-business.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">economic loss<\/a>. In addition to the loss of profits, a company can experience a theft from its financial accounts. Additionally, businesses will often incur the costs that come with repairing the networks and systems following the attack.<\/li>\n<li>Legal ramifications. As a result of the data breach, a business might get sued by customers, as well as face regulatory sanctions and fines.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How Can an Organization Stay Protected From Cyber-Attacks<\/h2>\n<p>Although the prevalence of cyberattacks is a huge issue for businesses, there are many important steps that companies can take to protect themselves:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulatus.com\/data-security-details.htm#rab\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Back up<\/a> the company\u2019s data. By taking this step, businesses can shield themselves from ransomware and other attacks that could shut down their systems.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure that all sensitive data is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulatus.com\/data-security-details.htm#dem\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">encrypted<\/a>. Once data is encrypted into a complex code, the attackers will not be able to use the information they steal.<\/li>\n<li>Ensure that all hardware systems are secure. Because companies use so many types of devices, criminals have many access points to commit an attack. To counter possible breaches, each device needs to be secured with a multi-factor authentication.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulatus.com\/data-security-details.htm#st\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Train<\/a> employees to be ready for attacks. Spend time teaching employees how to identify potential attacks and what steps they should take if something looks unusual.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How Localization Can Help<\/h2>\n<p>Along with above steps, businesses should work to overcome cultural and language barriers that can interfere with a user recognizing a possible cyber-attack. This includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Localizing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulatus.com\/casestudy-isc.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cybersecurity<\/a> products so that the user interface makes sense to clients in their language.<\/li>\n<li>Making certain that cybersecurity <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulatus.com\/elearning\/elearning-localization.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">training<\/a> is localized to suit employees across the globe; this includes providing localized instruction documents about how to manage an attack.<\/li>\n<li>Working with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulatus.com\/about-us.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">translation services\u00a0company<\/a> to ensure that all aspects of cybersecurity is precise and effective.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As cyber-attacks become more frequent, businesses have to protect themselves. Partner with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulatus.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">language services provider<\/a> that can localize cybersecurity products and documentation so that users can prevent devastating attacks from occurring.<\/p>\n<h2>Summary<\/h2>\n<p>As the number cyber-attacks continue to soar worldwide, companies are having to greatly enhance their cybersecurity to prevent hackers from accessing their data centers and other computerized systems.
