As a result of the pandemic, there has been an increased focus on cybersecurity around the world, and Spain is no exception. Cybersecurity experts indicate that 2020 was a record-breaking year for cyberattacks. ESET, being a cybersecurity company in the European Union, pointed out that between the first and fourth quarter of 2020 cyber-attacks increased by 768%. This is mainly due to the fact that cybercriminals due to the teleworking situation in which society was in took advantage of the lack of security measures by companies. In 2021, it has been possible to observe how cybercriminals have adjusted in record time to the new situation managing to maximize profits through more complex and advanced cyberattacks. This is why companies detect the need for cybersecurity solutions that are capable of dealing with the most advanced cyberattacks without changing their work habits. Having an antivirus is no longer enough. Today, companies need to identify, stop and fix security breaches. SMEs, the main target of cybercriminals Attacks on both large companies and public administrations are on the rise. A recent example occurred in Castellón, where there was a cyberattack on the database of the Castellón de la Plana City Council. As a result of this attack, data on victims of abuse, police reports and passwords were uncovered. Another example could be the cyber-attack suffered by Phone House, which damaged the data of three million customers. However, it should be noted that the companies mainly affected in our country are SMEs. According to information provided by the Guardia Civil, 70% of small and medium-sized companies are affected. Moreover, The United Nations International Telecommunication Union...

Researchers say hackers are asking small companies for $50,000 and large companies for $5 million. Last Friday, July 2nd, at least 200 US companies were hit by a cyberattack. Hackers managed to infiltrate the technology company Kaseya, which provides network management services, and thus gained a conduit to spread malicious software. John Hammond, principal researcher at security company Huntress Labs, called “this is a colossal and devastating attack”, according to a message posted on Twitter. The technology company, Kaseya, has more than 40,000 customers worldwide, and when they became aware of the attack, they were urged to immediately shut down their servers to avoid the possibility of being compromised by hackers. The cyber-attack caught many companies off guard, as many businesses were beginning to shut down due to the long weekend in the United States for the 4th of July Independence Day celebrations. The particular virus was ransomware, which hijacks company data and demands a financial ransom in return. Hammond said at least eight companies that provide security or technology tools for hundreds of other small businesses could have been “compromised” by the Kaseya attack. Another 200 could be at risk and have been asked for ransoms ranging from $50,000 for small companies to $5 million for large ones. The figure rises into the hundreds when the number of affected companies worldwide is counted. The company was keen to downplay the extent of the cyber assault, saying the attack was limited to a “small number” of its customers. But at the moment it is unclear how many Kaseya customers might be affected or who they might be. In...

As a result of the pandemic, many companies have changed their working habits, with telecommuting taking centre stage. According to information obtained thanks to the report on the security of remote employees in 2021 by Bitglass, 57% of companies have more than three quarters of their teams working remotely, thus, giving more relevance to the tools needed to facilitate teleworking. Security professionals’ comment on the need to require an IT ecosystem that is cloud-centric, with 71% agreeing that they would abandon local devices and tools and introduce remote working. Even with various controls in place to facilitate their protection when telecommuting, a large number of companies still face challenges in adapting to the modern enterprise. For example, bandwidth constraints, which have huge implications for the scalability of security solutions, are cited as the main barrier to securing remote work by 41%. Largely caused by this problem, 55% of companies have also experienced difficulties when making use of VPNs. Bitglass CTO Anurag Kahol comments, “Enabling a modern workforce requires more flexible IT ecosystems and demands greater reliance on the cloud, as well as cloud security tools.” “The new post-COVID-19 workplace landscape will necessitate a mixed IT and security environment, as users will work both on- and off-premises. Cloud adoption is critical to make this possible and should happen sooner rather than later.” Cybersecurity issues 90% of companies say they are very certain to maintain current high levels of remote working in the future mainly due to the benefits it generates in business productivity. 53% of companies state that they are analysing the possibility of making some positions permanently remote once the...
