Data protection and privacy are, and we cannot stress this enough, key components of private information security. They help protect your clients and employees’ sensitive and personal information. With the evolving cyber threats, it is no longer sufficient to meet the bare minimum of privacy regulations or technical measures. Your organization can protect data more effectively by implementing policies and procedures to safeguard data. Making data security a key priority throughout your organization’s development is easier than fixing damages caused by an inactive posture.

In a world where cybercrime is on the rise, any organization is targeted by cybercriminals. From startups to large enterprises, from fintechs to healthcare, no industry is immune to cybercriminals’ malicious attacks. No matter the intention of the cybercriminals, they represent a grave danger that can lead to severe consequences, including financial loss, reputational damage, and data breaches.

In today’s increasingly cyber world, all organizations are at risk of cyberattacks, but some industries are more vulnerable than others. However, it has been estimated that some of the most targeted organizations are fintechs, startups, healthcare providers, educational institutions, and manufacturing companies.

While the core challenges remain relevant in today’s world, new trends and advancements call for constant adjustments and awareness. From technical vulnerabilities like malware, ransomware, and cloud attacks, to human errors like social engineering, cyber threats are growing. Don’t wait for the attack to happen; stay ahead of cybercriminals with Pretera’s offensive security solutions!

Recent findings indicate that 93% of workplace networks are accessible to hackers. Fighting cybercrime has never been more important. Yet, an alarming number of organizations fail to understand the importance of creating a robust cybersecurity stance. By investing in cybersecurity, organizations can show their commitment to protecting the data of their employees and their customers.

The likelihood of facing a cyber attack is greater than you may imagine. If we compare cyber attacks with physical attacks, statistics show that the chances for breaches are 1 in 4, while the chances for a burglary or home invasion are 1 in 50.  According to Statista, 72.7% of all global organizations fell prey to a ransomware attack in 2023. All the cyber statistics you read about should not be overlooked.

Antivirus software is an essential element of cybersecurity, but it is not enough to protect devices from all forms of cyber threats. Cybercriminals are constantly creating new malware types and employing sophisticated methods to avoid detection by antivirus software. That’s why it is becoming increasingly necessary for organizations to take a multifaceted strategy to cybersecurity that involves other protection measures too. An antivirus software alone cannot help protect your organization from social engineering attacks, insider threats, advanced persistent threats (APTs), or potential unknown malware. This is where Pretera performs manual pentesting –  being more thorough and identifying more complex vulnerabilities, manual pentesting has what automated tools might miss.
