Common Cyber Threats and How to Counter Them

Our team at TechInsure.ie has identified several prevalent cyber threats:

  • Phishing: Deceptive tactics to steal sensitive information.
  • Ransomware: Malicious software that locks your data and demands a ransom.
  • Social Engineering: Manipulation techniques to access your systems.
  • Denial-of-Service (DoS) Attacks: Attacks that overwhelm your systems, rendering them inoperative.

Best Practices in Cyber Security

To combat these threats, we advocate the following best practices:

  • Strong Passwords: Use robust, unique passwords and change them regularly.
  • Regular Updates: Keep your software and systems updated with the latest security patches.
  • Data Encryption: Encrypt sensitive data in transit and at rest.
  • Access Control: Implement strict access controls and practice the principle of least privilege.
