The world of cybersecurity is changing rapidly. Even if you are an IT specialist – with a long to-do list in your organisation – or even if you are a tech enthusiast, it is not easy to be up to date on each new trend. A cyber specialist at your side is no luxury. Because in some cases the safety and survival of your company is at stake.<\/p>\n

Any questions for us?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Every day there are new terms, new ways in which criminals want to break in. Please find the list here below.

Cyber terminology<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][toggles style=”default” border_radius=”none”][toggle color=”Default” heading_tag=”default” heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”Domain fraud”][vc_column_text]If someone abuses the identity of your company unnoticed and thereby affects third parties, we call it domain fraud. This can be done, for example, by spamming, phishing or setting up a fake website. Often leading, seemingly unapproachable companies, such as postal services, banks or government institutions, are greatly in demand for cybercriminals. You\u2019ll notice this kind of fraud by fake email addresses, often with a spelling mistake.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Default” heading_tag=”default” heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”Spoofing”][vc_column_text]In this form of identity fraud, a cybercriminal pretends to be someone else in relation to third parties. They\u2019ll abuse the name, email address or their victim\u2019s data.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Default” heading_tag=”default” heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”Cold storage”][vc_column_text]A low-cost and yet – in certain cases – efficient backup system. You can only write data to it and store it there. Only when you want to download data, you\u2019ll need a different and more expensive solution. Cold storage is ideal for backups and archives.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Default” heading_tag=”default” heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”Phishing”][vc_column_text]This is a cyber-attack by email, where the recipient is invited to click on a link. In this case, the criminals try to steal your login, password or data. Typically, the email appears to come from a trusted recipient, such as a colleague, banker or manager. Criminals often use a well-crafted house style in this case, so that you don’t even notice it.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Default” heading_tag=”default” heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”Spear-phishing”][vc_column_text]Whereas ‘normal’ phishing is a broad, automatic attack on a large group of users, this is a very targeted method. Spear phishing targets one specific employee or a company. The attack is tailored to the victim, which increases the chances of success.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Default” heading_tag=”default” heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”Whaling”][vc_column_text]This is a type of phishing in which the attackers target high profiles, such as politicians, CEOs and celebrities.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Default” heading_tag=”default” heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”Vhishing”][vc_column_text]These are phone attacks that are perceived to be very personal because you are talking to a real person. Criminals sometimes use voice modifiers, trying to convince their victims with an elaborate story to share their data.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Default” heading_tag=”default” heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”Social engineering”][vc_column_text]Human nature is based on trusting others. Social engineering will manipulate this mechanism by luring people into a trap via mail or phone. The aim is always the same: to entrap, rob or extort others. Another form of social engineering is entering a company under a false pretence and trying to steal data or gain access to the IT infrastructure.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Default” heading_tag=”default” heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”Ethical hacker”][vc_column_text]This is a hacker, but a good guy. He has the same knowledge and skills as a cybercriminal. He uses it to report on vulnerabilities in systems.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Default” heading_tag=”default” heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”Bug Bounty”][vc_column_text]This is the fee that a company promises to an ethical hacker. The amount of compensation depends on the vulnerabilities found. This way, companies are encouraging ethical hackers to test their public systems. Ethical hackers sometimes help them find a solution.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Default” heading_tag=”default” heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”VPN”][vc_column_text]A VPN or Virtual Private Network can be seen as an encrypted ‘tunnel’ between your digital device (PC, smartphone, etc.) and a VPN server. It provides a secure connection.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Default” heading_tag=”default” heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”Virus”][vc_column_text]Viruses attach themselves to programmes on your computer. Emails and other media spread it along. Viruses are not always malicious, and have a reasonably predictable behaviour.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Default” heading_tag=”default” heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”Worm”][vc_column_text]A worm is a \u2018stand-alone\u2019 which multiplies itself to get to as many computers as possible. It exploits a victim\u2019s vulnerabilities to cause damage.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Default” heading_tag=”default” heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”Ransomware”][vc_column_text]This is highly malicious hostage software, which specifically targets a victim\u2019s vulnerabilities. These will be abused to ask for ransom. In return, cybercriminals make the promise that they will undo the damage. In a limited number of cases, the aim of ransomware is to destroy the data.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Default” heading_tag=”default” heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”Scareware”][vc_column_text]These are fake notifications that come on your screen via pop-ups. They mainly want to scare their victims and lure them to a website. Due to their shape, virus scanners can only detect scareware to a limited extent.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Default” heading_tag=”default” heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”Adware”][vc_column_text]These are advertisements, often too good to be true. Sometimes they are difficult to remove, but they are not always harmful.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Default” heading_tag=”default” heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”Spyware”][vc_column_text]This is malicious software that wants to steal information. It takes control of your PC. Criminals can spy on you through the camera and a log can be made of what you enter on your keyboard.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Default” heading_tag=”default” heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”Happy clicker”][vc_column_text]Someone who clicks first, and then thinks… sometimes it’s too late. We don’t want to see your employees being happy clickers.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][\/toggles][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
