Cybersecurity is a set of actions and techniques that protect systems, computers, servers, data networks, and mobile devices against attacks and intrusions. And how does this practice protect systems and end users?
It has encryption protocols that are used to encode files, emails, and other important data. In addition to protecting the information that is transmitted, they also prevent it from being lost or stolen.
End user security software searches computers for malicious code and quarantines them, then removes them from the machine. Electronic security protocols also focus on detecting malware in real time, often using heuristic and behavioral analysis to monitor the behavior of a program and its code.
Specialized professionals recommend some actions for users to seek to protect their data, such as: frequently updating the software and operating system, using antivirus and strong passwords, not opening email attachments received from unknown senders, not clicking on email links from unknown senders or unfamiliar sites, avoiding the use of unsecure Wi-Fi networks in public places, and others.
According to the research “Impact of Covid-19 on the culture and operation of Brazilian SMEs”, developed by the global communication agency Edelman and commissioned by Microsoft Brazil, data related to future investments show that 72% of the interviewees plan to hire cybersecurity tools in their companies. This indicates that the topic is a recurring theme within companies today.
Cybersecurity today is already a fundamental item for protection against attacks and the use of security strategies are essential to achieve more assertive protection.
