    How CIOs Can Avoid Spam Threats in APAC Region

    Apac CIO Outlook | Tuesday, November 10, 2020
    Tweet

    Coronavirus pandemic has a huge impact on various industries all over the world. Some industries are steadily growing whereas some industries are facing severe downfall. In this hard crisis, the cyber criminals are breeding with innovative ideas to spam email and hack the company credentials. APAC has a major vulnerability in its rapidly developing financial sector, economic growth and critical infrastructure. CIOs have to take preventive measures to fight and protect your company against spam.

    Here are some of the latest spam threats in APAC region that CIOs need to be aware of:

    Ransomware:

    Ransomware attacks mostly happen due to the negligence of the baseline security measures and failure on the organization part. It is a type of malicious software that illegally captures your data in the computer to publish or block access by encrypting it. Also they’ll demand the victim to pay a ransom fee to the attacker within a deadline.  If the victim does not pay in time, the data will be gone forever.

    Encrypted attacks:

    Most of the web traffic is now HTTPS encrypted, because HTTPS ensures that web browsers and apps to websites which needs login credentials stay secure.  But hackers find it easy to hide malware in encrypted web traffic.  HTTPS requires many resources from the target server than the client, so hackers can launch malicious attacks in your computer easily.

    Credential Theft:

    It is an automated threat where the cybercriminals use bots to find or stuff known usernames and passwords from data breach sources to gain access to the account. They test various combinations of username and passwords until they crack into the account. Once they gain access they illegally takeover your account and commit crime and fraud.

    Whaling:

    Whaling is a common technique used by spammers to hack your system by mimicking as a real company executive to make you transfer money or send sensitive information including usernames and passwords via email. They use fake domain that looks like normal emails from a high-level executive of the company like CEO or CIO.

    Shared Document Phishing:

    Shared document phishing is a spamming technique used by hackers where you may receive an e-mail attached with a document. It appears to come from file-sharing site with a malicious link secretly imbedded within it. The link provided in these e-mails will take you to a counterfeit login page that imitates the real login page and will steal your account details.

    Here are some technologies that can nail security against such spam threats:

    Threat Intelligence Programmes:

     Threat intelligence programme can save CIOs by keeping them updated with the latest security threats including the techniques, vulnerabilities and targets. It also helps to save a lot of time by continuously identifying and monitoring the risk before it becomes a serious issue. It also keeps leaders, stakeholders and users informed about the impact they could have on the business due to such threats.

    Artificial Intelligence:

    Artificial Intelligence technology can provide effective security solutions to prevent and recover cybercrimes against your organization. AI helps to create a dynamic, real time, global authentication framework that can changes location or computer access automatically allowing the development of existing software to prevent cyber spamming.  With its intelligent code analysis, configuration analysis and activity monitoring, it can detect patterns of malicious behavior in network traffic to predict malicious attacks.

    Internet of Things (IoT) Security:

    IoT security provides various ways to minimize security issues like email phishing, data theft, privacy breaches, etc.  By encrypting the data between IoT devices, you can protect the privacy of users and enterprise, and prevent IoT data breaches using standard cryptographic algorithms to boost the overall security of user data and privacy.

    Robotic Process Automation:

    RPA is perfect solution for restricting unauthorized users from accessing your private information. Secure access is essential to protect enterprises from unintentional errors of employees, and unethical spam attacks by cybercriminals. Some software robots will allow only selected people based on your preference with specific credentials to access the corporate system.

    Since enterprises are more vulnerable to spam attacks, they need deeper information on how to predict and prevent the damage. Along with the help of these technologies, CIOs can train their employees with knowledge resources and strategies to prevent being a victim of the attack.
