As cybersecurity issues continue to be a focal point in today’s business world, organizations have begun to take notice of the implications stemming from these attacks. In a short time, what was once a small-scale operation has suddenly blossomed into a billion-dollar industry that has taken the livelihoods of both small and large businesses. It has become such a prominent issue that the current administration has recently endorsed a new cyber defense policy alongside its NATO allies. One potential cause for this increase in attacks is that the security measures implemented by these businesses have not kept pace with the ever-changing world of technology and its exploitable vulnerabilities.
There are multiple ways for cybersecurity attacks like these to occur, varying in both scale and sophistication. Attacks can range from a simple phishing email, which many of us have experienced in our inboxes at some point, to using a 3rd party software provider in order to gain access to a bigger entity or organization. In the case of the Colonial Pipeline Attack, the level of sophistication fell somewhere in the middle of this spectrum, and many experts are shocked that it took this long for such a damaging attack to take place.
Another aspect that should not be overlooked is that these cybersecurity hacks are not necessarily an overnight process. Hackers like the ones who carried out the Colonial attack can actually infiltrate an organization’s systems weeks or months before executing their attack. This is done so that the hackers can map out a blueprint of the system and find out where the weakest links are. Because of this, it is important to have multilayered defenses so your organization can prevent or minimize these attacks.
