5G is the new version of the current wireless network offering high-speed, lower latency than previous versions, and enhancement of IoT connectivity. On paper, 5G is assumed to provide comparatively better security and connectivity. However, the safety and reliability of 5G’s implementation greatly depend upon how proactively organizations will take measures to secure and manage the 5G network deployed by them.
The recent trend of providing access to free public WiFi is helpful for working professionals. With the onset of remote and hybrid working, many professionals use the free WiFi provided in public spaces. However, this comes at a cost. The features that make free WiFi hotspots appealing (no requirement of authentication) to use a network connection also appeal to cybercriminals.
Traditionally in a single-factor authentication, a user is required to only put in their password to gain access to systems or networks. This makes it easy for a cybercriminal to extract information by hacking. With cybercriminals getting more advanced and cyber threats increasing, organizations should integrate multi-factor authentication (MFA) for their data security.
It is no secret that cybercriminal attacks are getting increasingly superior with every passing day. The attacks aim to extract confidential information and make profits. Criminals behind such attacks target anyone, from individuals to high-value companies. One attack, however, is made to attack CEOs or high-profile individuals.
