Russian troops on the border or cross-border cyber attacks? What’s scarier?
Russia’s hackers launched waves of cyberattacks as its tanks moved into Ukraine and its missiles targeted targets around the country. Ukrainian websites were defaced and taken offline in the weeks and days preceding up to the Russian invasion, and data-wiping malware was released on government networks.
According to experts, the US has almost likely planned for the greater risk of a Russian hack. In actuality, it would be surprising if the United States’ defensive postures were not already in place; the administration has very certainly deployed its defence systems.
With all of the invasions taking place in Ukraine, we can only hope and pray that what appears to be Europe’s first major war since World War II does not launch the next World War. However, experts have warned that the private sector, in particular, may not be adequately prepared, despite the fact that many businesses have been scrambling in recent years to better secure themselves against cyberattacks.
“The growth in ransomware and attacks over the past decade should have put private and public entities on alert to revamp their security postures, deploy new layers and tools, train staff, and continually improve their processes, unfortunately, cybersecurity programs are still viewed as a line item on a budget sheet, leaving many organizations and institutions vulnerable to disruption.” quoted by a Cybersecurity Expert.
In these times where we aim to grow our brand value 10x digitally each day, it is a growing concern to see private entities not focusing on securing their data and systems against cyberattacks. This is a sign for all private entities that cyberattacks need no borders and attacks can happen anytime from any part of the world.
