How many times have you heard a story from a friend who received an email that seemed to come from a reputable source, only to discover later that it was far from reliable?
The message asks the victim to confirm their account details, presenting the risk of account deactivation in case of non-compliance. The provocative nature of the message might initially make the victim realize the potential threat. However, due to haste and the pressures of daily duties, there are many cases where they decide to respond to it.
Amidst this daily routine and haste, the origin and the truth behind the message may be overlooked. Sooner or later, the consequences become apparent, and in many cases, they are irreparable: the victim’s account and entire business may have fallen prey to a ransomware attack.
The preceding description is one of the many real-life stories that surely all of us have to share. It serves as a cautionary example of the dangers lurking behind email communication. The truth is that more than 90% of cyber attacks start with a simple email.
The threats vary, from simple spam and phishing attempts seeking to acquire personal information and passwords, to malicious applications that, with a simple click, can download and install malicious software such as ransomware, aiming to demand a ransom for decrypting locked systems.
The need for protection and professional support is pressing, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which are now the most popular target of such attacks (over 60% for 2023). SMEs often operate with limited resources and lack the experience to effectively combat cyber attacks.
