Every year, there’s an increase in the number of people connected to the internet, but this means there’s also a corresponding increase in the number of people who are susceptible to cyberattacks. In some countries, these attacks come at a very high cost.
This reduces the level of trust people have in the internet or systems that use the internet. For instance, when it comes to savings, some people prefer not to save their money in traditional banks; and trusting their savings with a fintech company would probably be their last option.
And that’s only one example– there’s a lot of customer data scattered across other tech-enabled services. Losing your money is perhaps the least harmful way cyber fraud can harm you.
Firstly, your data could be used to carry out illegal activities which could put you in even more trouble. Secondly, your company’s trade secrets or other sensitive business data could be leaked to the public. You could lose your good reputation in a blink.
There’s a lot of work to be done to improve cybersecurity measures, and the work of improving these measures isn’t the sole responsibility of tech companies. In our present digital age, traditional sectors like oil and gas need new and more effective ways to protect their customers from cyber fraud, too.
An estimated $103.1bn was spent on security-related software, hardware and services in 2019 and this spending is expected to increase to $133.8bn by 2022. However, improving cybersecurity measures will not only involve spending more on security but also making it a part of the company culture. Every employee should have a role to play in keeping the organization safe.
Tomorrow at 11 am on TechCabal Live, we will be discussing with Adeoluwa, Daniel, Joseph, Sophina and Nick about some of the best practices they’ve picked up in the course of their careers.
