Storm-0558 Cyberthreat: How Veeam Backup Solutions Secure Data
Veeam News, Tuesday, August 22,2023
Cybersecurity incidents are increasing at an alarming rate. In our 2023 Global Report on Ransomware Trends, conducted by an independent research firm, 85% of organizations surveyed experienced one or more cyberattacks in the prior 12 months. This represents a 12% increase over the previous year, and it highlights the danger your organization faces.
While hackers continually seek out vulnerabilities, the most common way to gain access to corporate systems is through phishing attacks. Phishing occurs when criminals send emails purporting to be from genuine organizations with urgent requests to verify confidential information. Variants include spear phishing, where malicious actors use personal information to encourage recipients to follow email instructions, and whaling, which involve fictitious requests from senior executives to subordinates requesting them to supply confidential information or make urgent payments.
Phishing is an effective technique with a high success rate. To counter this threat, it's crucial you implement effective email security measures such as email encryption, multifactor authentication, spam filtering, employee training and robust backup solutions.
