Social engineering is the practice of exploiting human psychology and manipulating people to gain access to systems, data, or a physical location. This term might be newer, but the art of the scam has been around for much longer.

Phishing remains one of the most common types of data breaches and often leads to a ransomware attack. When ransomware hits your IT, all or substantial parts of your IT will stop functioning and your data becomes compromised. The only way to bring your systems back online is to restore from backup or to “pay the piper,” the cybercriminal, their ransom. While ransoms of the past were in the thousands, they are now typically hundreds of thousands or even millions! In a worst-case scenario, there will be operating losses due to interruption of services when restoring and rebuilding your systems. The other main results of phishing are the stealing of personal or confidential business information, as well as the hijacking of a person’s mailbox, to deliver false instructions to illicit a payment to the cybercriminal.

Cloud is increasingly becoming popular as more companies have noticed the benefits it offers, such as reliability and security. Cloud provides companies flexibility and, when implemented correctly, cloud can increase the efficiency of your business. However, while there are many benefits of the cloud, it also comes with a few risks.
