Today’s Speaker: Amy Williams, United Technology Associates

 

Cyber Threats Against You and Your Business, Amy holds a PhD in cyber security. Home protection is similar to business protection. Threat landscape: how to you recognize it? Look for incorrect spellings, emails from odd locations, well known company but not really (masking) – hover over the email address will show the actual email address will show. Spear phishing is a targeted attack, usually goes after website authority figures and sends an email that appears to come from the boss. Mobile Malware (IoT Threats) is on the rise, malware for phones. Multi factor authentication helps keeps your accounts safe and keep your phones password protected. Alexa, WiFi in your car or on a refrigerator, security cameras (fastest growing issue). Social Media (supply chain and Geopolitical), don’t take online surveys. Hackers from other countries are Geopolitical issues; hackers have a lot of patience. Ransomware (Cryptojacking) your data is encrypted and the hacker tells you to pay to get control of your device. Backup your data is the best thing to do. Website insecurity (cloud security), shop at safe places. Cloud accounts are a bigger target.

 

90% of successful breaches start with phishing! Don’t share or write down your passwords, make them long and strong! Do not reuse old passwords!! Keep up with all the Patches for applications, operating systems and firmware, keep up with them. Backup Backup Backup! Encrypt your spreadsheets if you store your password lists. Don’t ever use public WIFI!
