O cibercrime it's a big deal. In recent years, cybercriminals have invested a large part of their gains in the development of more sophisticated resources, using more advanced technologies. While innovation is ongoing in the cybersecurity sector, much of the effort remains responsive.
The Internet and the infrastructures in which various information and communication technology services operate, offer an almost infinite flow of information and free forms of communication. While everything works smoothly for the vast majority of users, this entire online environment may be under constant threat of unavailability if security measures are not properly enforced.
A Dimension Data, a global provider of ICT solutions and services, predicts that cybersecurity will become more predictive, rather than reactive in 2017. Which is why companies operating in Angola in the most diverse areas and making use of information technology information, they should have more attention in the cybersecurity sector in the year that is about to begin.
The increasing virtual attack known as DDoS, one of the hacker attacks that does not require any very sophisticated invasion, nor the installation of malicious software on a server or the intervention of a lay Internet user in information technology, should also deserve a lot of attention by companies installed in Angola-DDoS (denial of service), is an attack that causes an overload in servers responsible for one or more sites and use devices connected to the Internet.
Some cyber security experts even claim that the frequency and intensity of attacks DDoS the world will increase. Various IoT devices, servers and routers that process data that circulates on the web are always on. Therefore, the availability for attacks is high and these devices usually have broadband internet connections.
In turn, the Dimension Data said that the Internet of Things (IoT) will fulfill the promise of big data. Big data projects increasingly go through several updates during a single year and the IoT is, to a large extent, the reason for this. All because the IoT enables the analysis of specific patterns that generate specific business results and, increasingly, this must be done in real time.
With that, it is a challenge to start implementing various security standards, on devices, infrastructure and even on the network itself. The carelessness with the cyber security of a certain company, jeopardizes the availability of information and services on the internet.
Therefore, in addition to investing in the security of devices, measures can be taken on networks, especially in the case of companies, such as the creation of areas with IT technicians dedicated to security.
