In the first half of 2018 a record was broken with almost 6,000 million malware attacks.

Since its inception, criminal practices have been overcoming barriers. From massive spam, to credential theft, computer infections, denial of service attacks, kidnapping of PCs and zombie computers.

Prevent the theft of data such as bank account numbers, credit card information, passwords, work-related documents, spreadsheets, etc. It is essential during today's communications.

Therefore, it is necessary to protect your company's computer equipment and that makes everything that is computer security necessary and very important.

Not only is the increase in threats the most worrying for companies, but the attackers have discovered a gold mine with the extortion of their victims.
Before, hackers focused on harming large companies but today, their attacks are directly on users. “Less money from many users is more lucrative”.

Large conglomerates have high security measures and small and medium-sized companies often have cracks from where they can sneak in.

With elementary business security barriers, a couple of lines of code in a malicious email, you already have free entry to block access to servers, data or render processing devices unusable.

What is planned for 2019, according to a report by CyberSecurity Ventures, are attacks by ‘ransomware’ valued at $ 11.5 billion.

Cybercriminals do not stop in their attacks, they really do it today more easily and daily, but sometimes we do not realize the seriousness of the problem, since having systems under control in our company, we expose the private data of customers, productivity drops, business inactivity, replacement of ICT infrastructure, as well as damage to the reputation and image of the company.

One in 50 emails contains malicious programs that may violate the security of your computer equipment.

Ransomware uses social engineering to fool people in order to open attachments or click on links that seem legitimate, appearing to be from a trusted institution or from a friend.

Cybercriminals employ social engineering in other types of ransomware attacks, such as presenting themselves as the FBI to scare users and force them to pay a sum of money for unlocking the files.

This is why we must establish an effective security plan and focused specifically on our company. Now ask yourself ... Is your company protected? Are current security systems effective? Should you implement new security methods?
