There are many common myths when it comes to cybersecurity, and, unlike harmless stories, these myths can leave you with gaping holes in your company’s cybersecurity defenses. Here are five common myths and the truth behind them.

Myth #1: It Won't Happen To Us.

There’s a common belief among small and medium-sized businesses that they are too small to be a target for attackers.

When it comes to protecting your business from cyberthreats, the basics still matter. A lot. In fact, according to IBM’s 2023 Cost Of A Data Breach Report, 82% of breaches involved data stored in the cloud, and most of them could’ve been prevented with simple, foundational safeguards.

You’re focused on leveraging the latest technology for growth and innovation, but there’s a hidden risk that comes with it. The software, automated systems, and AI tools that power your business each have their own non-human identity (NHI). Managing these digital identities was a significant challenge even before the AI boom, but now, with intelligent agents capable of independent action, NHIs represent a critical threat that demands immediate attention.

Many people are getting better at spotting phishing attacks from outside sources. But what if the attack appears to come from within your own company? A recently discovered vulnerability in Microsoft 365 is being used to bypass traditional security, making it easier than ever for hackers to send you convincing fake emails that slip past your defenses.

As the digital world becomes increasingly complex, finding ways to protect personal and business information is more important than ever. Traditional passwords have long been the go-to solution for securing online accounts, but they come with a variety of vulnerabilities.

Cybersecurity has become a priority for businesses of all sizes, not just big corporations. Small businesses, often overlooked in the cybersecurity conversation, are now prime targets for cybercriminals. This blog delves into the reasons why small businesses are struggling more with cybersecurity today.

Most of us carry our phones everywhere, trusting them with everything from passwords to private business conversations. But here’s the unsettling truth: phone tracking is far more common – and easier – than most people realize.

Whether it’s a jealous partner, a disgruntled employee or a cybercriminal targeting your business, anyone with the right tools can monitor your location, read your messages or even access sensitive business data without you ever knowing.

Threat intelligence platforms (TIPs) offer valuable insights to help detect and prevent breaches. However, fully utilizing them can be challenging without the right experience or expertise. The good news is that there are strategies to unlock the full potential of your TIP, turning it into a strategic asset that helps you stay ahead of cyber risks and prepare for future threats.

Organizations that invest in threat intelligence platforms (TIPs) often struggle to use them effectively. TIPs are designed to collect, analyze, and share threat data, but they can become overwhelming or underutilized without the right approach. Our guide helps you choose a platform that aligns perfectly with your team’s skills and existing infrastructure, empowering you to respond to potential threats more efficiently and effectively.

Your employees might be the biggest cybersecurity risk in your business – and not just because they’re prone to click phishing e-mails or reuse passwords. It’s because they’re using apps your IT team doesn’t even know about.

This is called Shadow IT, and it’s one of the fastest-growing security risks for businesses today. Employees download and use unauthorized apps, software and cloud services – often with good intentions – but in reality they’re creating massive security vulnerabilities without even realizing it.
