Your Frequently Asked Questions

A cyber attack happens every 39 seconds. While some attacks–through software purchased on the dark web–are automated and/or unsuccessful, you have to be prepared. Today an average 10,000 cyber-attacks take place each day against SMBs and organizations.
An unsuccessful attack, called a cybersecurity incident, should be a warning. Hackers may come back and try again. And when an incident becomes a successful ‘attack’ (businesses firewall has been breached, data leaked or lost), the costs can be debilitating for the small to medium business or organization. The 2023 average cost of a data breach was over $4.45 million. Sixty percent of the entities attacked go out of business within 6 months.
A cyber threat is the possibility of an attack.
A cyber risk is an estimate of the possible losses associated with the threat. For instance, compromise of private health information (PHI) is a cyber threat for healthcare-related businesses. The associated cyber risk is the probability that a data compromise will occur and that there will be lost revenues due to downtime and damage to reputation.

A firewall sits between a local computer or network and the Internet. Its access lists filter inbound and outbound traffic according to rules an admin or user sets. Firewalls are not 100% effective however. They must be checked often and cybersecurity providers may do penetration testing to determine their effectiveness.

Business email compromise (BEC) that results in wire transfer fraud and ransomware are the two most prevalent (and critical) threats facing SMBs and organizations.

With BEC, attackers gain access to email servers at a business and monitor all traffic to gather personal information. After spending some time (perhaps months) to learn the ins and outs of the business’ finances, they compromise a payment using the personal information they found. This relies on deception regarding account numbers and transfers.

Ransomware is malware (malicious software) that involves compromise of a network, encryption of the organization’s operating systems and data, and subsequent demand of a ransom to decrypt the systems and data. The threat actors usually ask victims for payment (ranging from the hundreds to millions of dollars) using cryptocurrencies, like Bitcoin. Convincing phishing emails are one of the means of attack (vectors) that ransomware begins with. Ransomware criminals now rely on impressive services such as 24/7 tech support and trained negotiators. Unprotected backups are frequently targeted and recovery then becomes more difficult.

With over 90% of cyberattacks being due to user error, education for employees and partners can help to prevent attacks. Training should be regular and will create greater cyber awareness at your organization. It will also help minimize internal threats. One such area for education is for dealing with phishing emails. With 85% of all email being spam (i.e. marketing or malware), user training to recognize and avoid clicking is of utmost importance. Part of “cyber hygiene” involves safe practices while web browsing, emailing, texting, or other online communication.
Cloud services are flexible, scalable and less expensive, but their data, user credentials, and login technologies can also be compromised.
Mobile device attacks are also increasing, mainly through infected apps, compromised WiFi hotspots and also SIM swap attacks.

Symptoms include:
Computer crashes and blue screens
Slow computer performance (could be adware or spyware)
Increased network traffic
Missing files/system files
Low or no storage available
Browser popups or extensions you do not recognize
Disabled malware protection
Unexpected behavior

As a small business owner, you’ve worked hard to build a competitive operation and strong reputation with customers. However, have you considered the wireless cybersecurity vulnerabilities that could put it all at risk? Wireless technologies have become integral to everything from your business network to your company’s vehicles. Malicious driveby hackers are looking to exploit your Wi-Fi networks and business vehicles. In this blog, I will show you how to expose and mitigate war driving and car hacking. What is War Driving? War driving refers to the practice of driving around with specialized hardware/software to detect and map the locations and characteristics of wireless networks like Wi-Fi access points. Though war driving itself isn’t inherently malicious, the information it gathers could enable nefarious activities. For your small business relying on your wireless network, an attacker armed with war driving data could potentially: Don’t think you’re immune — every business with

CISA - American flag

CISA compromised

This week the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) confirmed that a cyberattack took down two of its systems in February. CISA dedicates its work to protect United States businesses, organizations, and government entities from cyberattacks. Vulnerabilities in CISA’s Ivanti IT management software were used in the attack. One compromised system “houses critical information about the interdependency of US infrastructure” and the other “houses private sector chemical security plans.” The identity of the hackers is not known. If CISA can be hit, so can your business or organization. Defend Your Island with Tech Kahunas now.
