Virtually everything can be done online from shopping, meeting with new friends, education, working online, even businesses have moved online.
The average internet user is not aware of how much of their information could be gotten online and this information could be used to manipulate them or their loved ones.
The Cybersecurity Landscape
Cybersecurity is seen as a very complicated field of expertise by many and they envision it as a highly skilled or area that is meant for the special/skilled kind of individual. But in reality, we could be educated on how to secure ourselves online first, before looking at the third-party agencies to secure our data, most often they have the right professional or tools to secure to some extent our information.
The ever-increasing number of internet users have also paved way for the increased vulnerability of private data, which has lead to the ever-increasing need to secure private data and install adequate infrastructures to protect available important data.
What Is Cloudbric?
Cloudbric is a state of the art cryptographic project that leverages Artificial Intelligence to Deep Learning to create a universal security platform that secures both the web and the blockchain ecosystem to help further spread the widespread of cryptocurrency adoption.
Cloudbric Where We Are.
Cloudbric started as an in-house venture of Penta Security System Ic. The number one South Korea's enterprise web and data security vendor, and they currently protects over 10,000 members and organizations and 60+ enterprise partners, with over 25 data centers around the world.
Challenges In The Cybersecurity Landscape.
While there is no direct answer or solution to the cybersecurity landscape. It is increasingly evident that there are processes online users and institution could take to significantly reduce cyber risk, including collaborating with institutions and government agencies to reach an agreement on standards, laws, principles, code of conduct, best practices, and protocols with a recollection that trust has to be earned and continuously be validated.
Cybersecurity which can be an important tool in protecting privacy and preventing unauthorized information sharing, intelligence gathering, and ungranted surveillance. The risk associated with all attacks varies from 3 major factors. which are :
- Threats - This is basically a cybersecurity danger that might exploit a vulnerability to breach security to cause harm to the system. It could be related to who is attacking the system.
- Vulnerabilities: This is the weakness which can be taken advantage of by threat advocator such as hacker, fraudster or individual who is trying to perform unauthorized activities.
- Impacts: A successful cyber attack may cause major infrastructural damage to businesses or even individuals. It can your business trust and your business existence the impact of a successful security breach could be categorized into three parts:

Oversaturation of security solutions.
The ever-increasing rate for users and institution to stay up to date with the latest security protection has led to an outburst of different similar solution available to them. There are over 1600 cybersecurity solution out there, and this variety of product gives the user many alternatives and complicated issues for them.
Giving An Example:There are more than 10 antiviruses available in the market, users are most often confused as to which of the antivirus they should use. They most often end up not using the best antivirus suitable for them based on the operating system they are using and other logistic reasonings.
How Attackers Thinks.
In the game of cat and mouse: in the ever-growing battle between cybercriminals and cyber professionals. There is a blurred line on how and what strategy an attacker is trying to get to the system.
Cyberattack technique such as malware, phishing, ransomware, and nagware is ever-evolving, especially now that cybercriminals are using an anonymous forum to overcome geographical barriers to collaborate with other cybercriminals to carry out an even more dangerous attack.
Cybersecurity professionals are always on top of their game to be ahead of the attacker and provide defensive measures to vulnerabilities found in the system. And the battle has been on who is more skilled and more sophisticated with the tools to carry out an attack or prevent or block such attack.
Notable Mentions Of Cybersecurity Attacks.
- WannaCry ransomware attack: This is a well known cyber attack that took place in May 2017. It targeted all computers running the Microsoft Windows Operating System by encrypting data and demanded a payment in Bitcoin. This attack was caused due to the vulnerability in the Windows operating systems and was spread to the organization who haven't updated their operating systems after Microsoft released their updated patch.
- Yahoo : The massive hack of yahoo email systems happened in 2013, which caused a severe hack of all 3billion yahoo email addresses. It only became obvious in 2017, and information stolen in the attack include passwords, backup email address. This hack was possible because they were using an outdated encryption technique which are easy to crack.
- Even though it took longer to know the severity of the hack. The hack is one of the big once as Yahoo were the big players in the technology ecosystem.
- Github : On February 28, 2018, The almighty Github was attacked. A version control hosting service. It was hit by a massive denial of service attack, with a 1.35TB per seconds of traffic hitting the popular site. Though, it was knocked offline for a while and managed to come back online after 20 minutes.
- Ethereum : This might have not gained so much media attention in July 2017 the ethereum network was hit and about $7.4 million in Ether was stolen from the ethereum platform in a matter of a minute.
Staying Ahead of Constantly Evolving Attacker Activity
The cybersecurity landscape is a field that is constantly improving and attackers are steadily improving and developing a new strategy to break into a system. To stay ahead in the game cybersecurity professionals need to stay ever ready to learn new strategy and skills in improving their client's data.
Invest In Security
Since the field is ever evolving institutions and organizations need to invest in security tools for professionals to plan their security budget and get adequate tools to safe guide and block attackers. To stay ahead of the cybersecurity curve. The price tag for security systems varies, companies should regularly reinvest and access their stand.
Follow Best Practices.
The world is ever evolving with new technology experts over the years have developed best practices based on their experience and they have constantly improved it to suit both new and expert professionals. Professionals should encrypt just about everything.
