Spotlight on “Cyber Good Guys” Entering New Year 2022

It is the year to spotlight the day in, day out experience and perseverance of Cyber Career Specialists. They keep cybercrime from shaking the foundation of our information technology infrastructure, an integral part of our daily lives and businesses.

Those who fight cybercrime know that tools and apps that enable two-way communication – such as email, social networks, online stores, gaming and gambling – are used by cyber-criminals to damage users’ networks, data, and hardware. They do this by presenting bold lies about the information or end result generated from an attachment or a URL link that will supposedly provide users with valuable information, an offer or gift, or a needed service.

One example of this is worms, a type of malware which uses fraudulent antivirus programs known as scareware to infect a device.  Their claim, to protect you from viruses, actually exposes you to threats! When you install scareware “protection” you’re falsely notified that your system is infected, then asked to click a link to clean up the viruses. If/when you click that link, it downloads more malware!

News is replete with examples of breach where cybercriminals get credit for clever break-ins when, in fact, they have merely used an existing code or script to seize and compromise another’s assets for their own gain! Less touted is the impressive work of cyber specialists who keep cybercrime at bay, daily. The reason we don’t hear about these heroes is because their successes don’t make the news. They simply save business after business that would have otherwise been compromised!

I’ve heard firsthand of a customer’s AP Manager saying they forgot what the charge from their cybersecurity partner was for! What a complement…that this company, year after year, went about its business without any interruptions – no seized assets, no downtime, no ransom – and relied upon a partner who safeguarded the company’s data and operations so seamlessly that their nominal monthly fee was the only quiet reminder of their presence.

Who is your IT team’s backbone this year? When your hard-working IT folks are sleeping at night, who is keeping vigilant eyes on your network activity to retain all proprietary data in your possession where it belongs?
