Cyber fraud and cyberattacks are now a daily threat to both citizens and businesses.
SMS, phone call or email scams, also known as phishing, smishing, vishing, aim to trick people into revealing passwords, access details or banking information.
Similarly, cyberattacks concern malicious actions in software systems, such as network breaches, malware or data locking (ransomware). The criminals' ultimate goal is to demand a ransom to repair damage or return data they secured.
To protect them, businesses need to invest in basic cybersecurity systems (firewalls, software updates, antivirus), systematically train staff in recognizing suspicious messages, implement strong passwords and two-factor control, and maintain secure backups of data in a separate environment.
Prevention is always the most effective defense.
