Cyberattacks against companies are multiplying year after year, increasingly affecting businesses of all sizes and sectors. One of the most dangerous cyberattacks launched against these companies is ransomware.

A ransomware attack is a cyber threat in which an attacker uses malware to encrypt the files or data of a system or network, demanding a ransom in exchange for the decryption key.

WhatsApp is undoubtedly one of the most widely used communication tools, not only for personal use but also for business purposes with WhatsApp Business.

As companies began sharing information and exchanging data through this tool, cybercriminals saw an open door for launching their cyberattacks, which has significantly increased.

Phishing attacks, identity theft, sending malicious links, banking fraud through payments, account theft, sending spam to customers, and social engineering attacks are some of the most commonly used methods by cybercriminals when launching their cyberattacks via WhatsApp Business.

Cybersecurity has become an essential element for companies seeking to prevent cyberattacks. However, there are still some sectors and markets that continue to believe that IT security is only for large companies.

Malware is malicious software or a program with harmful code that aims to damage or perform unauthorized actions against computer systems. The use of malware has increased by 28% compared to 2023.

The emergence of Artificial Intelligence and its various applications for generating unique texts or images has helped cybercriminals impersonate companies and individuals to launch cyberattacks.

Identity theft is mainly used in phishing attacks, where the cybercriminal pretends to be someone the victim trusts to obtain passwords or sensitive information.

In recent years, the cybersecurity sector has seen significant changes that have altered the way cyberattacks are launched against companies. One of these major changes has been Artificial Intelligence

Data migration is the process of transferring data from one storage system or computing environment to another. This process involves several key steps that ensure the data is selected, prepared, extracted, transformed, and transferred effectively and securely.

At ESED, we always talk about cybersecurity and ethical hacking to prevent cyberattacks and 'shut down' the bad intentions of cybercriminals, but sometimes we forget that cybercriminals are often IT experts/gurus/geniuses in computing and cybersecurity. In order to launch their cyberattacks, they must be familiar with the security barriers they might encounter in a system or infrastructure if they want to bypass them.

Have you heard about Zero-Day attacks? These are new and unknown cyberattacks for which protection systems, such as antivirus software, are not yet prepared to handle.

In this article, we will detail what Zero-Day attacks are and the types that have emerged so far in 2024.

In a fully digitalized world, where almost every device has integrated smart functions, cybersecurity in businesses and public organizations has become a fundamental aspect for operating normally.
