Trusted Cyber Defense!

Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting computers, networks, and digital information from unauthorized access, attacks, damage, or theft. It involves the implementation of measures and strategies to safeguard data, prevent cyberattacks, and ensure privacy and integrity in digital systems

Common cyberattacks include:

• Phishing: Fraudulent attempts to steal sensitive information via deceptive emails or websites.

• Ransomware: Malicious software that locks or encrypts your files and demands payment for release.

• Malware: Harmful software designed to disrupt or damage systems.

• Data Breaches: Unauthorized access to confidential data, often leading to identity theft or financial fraud.

• Denial of Service (DoS): Overloading a server or network with traffic, rendering it unusable.

Ransomware is malicious software that locks or encrypts your files and demands a ransom to unlock them. To protect against ransomware:

• Backup important data regularly.

• Avoid clicking on suspicious links or attachments in emails.

• Use strong antivirus software to detect ransomware threats.

• Keep your operating system and software up to date with the latest security patches.

• Implement access controls and encryption to protect your data.

• Isolate affected systems immediately to prevent the spread of the breach.

• Notify your IT team or cybersecurity expert to assess the damage and initiate containment.

• Change all login credentials and implement stronger access controls.

• Analyze logs to identify the point of entry and prevent further attacks.

• Report the breach to relevant authorities, such as your local cybercrime unit or regulatory body.

• Begin a full recovery process, including data restoration and security enhancements.
