Cybersecurity and the value of information

 There are many types of attacks. Now imagine this legion of attackers, with these numerous malicious tools, trying to steal your company's data? Would you have losses? After all, how much is information worth?


A big mistake that many people, including small and medium-sized companies , is not knowing or minimizing the value of information.


Many believe that only big, mega-companies are targeted by crackers, who are looking for opportunities to get their hands on information.


But the truth is, cybercriminals are looking for information ! Regardless of whether they belong to large or small companies, they look for opportunities to steal them.


If this information falls into the wrong hands, it will affect the entire functionality of the business. A simple example: imagine that a company suffers an attack that allows the exposure of its customers' credit card numbers.

The goal of subnetting is to create a fast, efficient, and resilient computer network. As networks become larger and more complex, the traffic traveling through them needs more efficient routes.

Such a failure could lead to lawsuits by those affected by the spill.

In addition to understanding the value of information for your company, it is necessary to understand the laws regarding the security and preservation of information and data, their impacts and consequences for your company.

In a Menlo Security survey of 200 IT managers, 40% of respondents said they are facing growing threats from cloud applications and Internet of Things (IoT) attacks because of this trend. There are good and bad ways to do this migration to the cloud. Many of the pitfalls are not exactly new. At a Gartner meeting in 2019, for example, two IT managers said their Office 365 deployments were halted due to the need to update legacy equipment. The way we now use - and share - our home computers has changed. Our PCs are no longer personal. That same computer can support your child's virtual school and your spouse's applications as well. A survey conducted in mid-June 2020 by CyberArk found that more than half of the respondents saved their passwords in the browsers of their corporate PCs. This does not bode well for any security policy, for sure. Her

Women and servers with young children

 The pandemic of the new coronavirus affected the productivity of the federal public servant who works from home. The most impacted groups are women and parents of children under 5 years old. The conclusion is part of a survey released last Friday (4) by the Ministry of Economy. According to the survey, carried out in May and June, women reported 26 minutes of non-productivity every hour, compared with just 12 minutes for men. The main reported difficulties were domestic distractions and the lack of interaction with colleagues. Technological problems and lack of delimitation of the boundary between personal and professional life were also mentioned. Federal civil servants with children up to 4 years old reported a greater impact, with 42 minutes of non-productivity per hour. Among those who have no children in this age group, the time they have not worked has dropped to 16 minutes. Among pet owners without children, there was virtually no variation. IT technicians are required by most

On a SaaS platform, the exact same thing happens . Now see some features that define the SaaS model well . 1. Hosting of cloud services All users and applications share a single infrastructure, which is maintained and managed through one or more central servers. This infrastructure model allows updates and maintenance to be performed only once. And better, in a single location, accelerating the process of improvement and development of the services offered. The systems engineer will often work together with a project manager and the engineering crew and becomes the primary point of communication to interlink between the two to simplify the accomplishment of a successful s
