Cyber Threats
In today’s rapidly evolving cyber landscape, organisations face an increasing number of sophisticated threats, particularly small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) and remote workers, who are often more vulnerable due to limited resources and less robust defences.
Strengthen Your Cybersecurity Posture
This list of key cyber threats outlines the most pressing risks you will face, including ransomware, phishing, and AI-powered attacks, alongside emerging challenges such as deepfakes. It highlights how attackers are continually advancing their methods, leveraging new technologies like AI and exploiting common vulnerabilities. Recognising these threats is critical for your businesses to strengthen your cybersecurity posture, and Cyberrock delivers the necessary tools, services, and expertise to help you defend against them.
Ransomware Attacks
Threat: Ransomware is a major type of cyberattack. Criminals use it to lock you out of your own files and systems by encrypting (locking) them, and then demand money (a ransom) to unlock them. Even if you pay, they might steal your data and try to sell it to others.
Cyberrock Delivers: We provide tools to block activity that might lead to ransomware attacks, monitoring for any suspicious activity, train your staff to avoid risky behaviour, and respond quickly if an attack happens to minimise damage.
Phishing and Social Engineering
Threat: Phishing is when attackers try to trick you into giving them sensitive information, like passwords, by pretending to be someone you trust (like your bank or a co-worker). These attacks are getting more convincing with new technology that helps attackers make their fake messages look more real.
Cyberrock Delivers: We provide training to help you and your employees recognize these scams and run practice tests to make sure everyone is prepared to spot and avoid phishing attempts.
Credential Theft and Identity-Based Attacks
Threat: Cybercriminals can steal your login details (like usernames and passwords) and use them to access your accounts, sometimes even getting past extra security measures like two-factor authentication (MFA), which usually adds another layer of protection.
Cyberrock Delivers: We help you protect your identity by identifying default passwords and helping you set up strong security systems, including multi-factor authentication, and regularly checking for any weaknesses in your security setup to keep your devices and accounts safe.
AI-Powered Cyberattacks
Threat: Attackers are using artificial intelligence (AI) to make their attacks smarter, faster and more automated. They can use AI to send out fake emails (phishing) automatically, create dangerous software (malware) that changes to avoid being detected by anti-virus systems, and get past security systems more easily.
Cyberrock Delivers: We use AI-powered tools to detect these kinds of attacks early and continuously monitor your devices and network to stop AI-driven threats before they spread and cause damage.
Deepfakes and Synthetic Media Threats
Threat: Deepfakes are fake videos or audio created using AI to make someone look or sound real or familiar. Attackers can use this technology to trick people, like pretending to be a company executive, to steal money or information.
Cyberrock Delivers: We recommend tools and deliver training that can help you and your team spot and deal with these types of AI-generated tricks.
Supply Chain Attacks
Threat: Attackers target the companies or software you rely on (like suppliers or service providers) to get into your systems. If your vendors have weak security, it puts your business at risk too. Additionally, you may be targeted because you are supplying services to a company that is itself being targeted. Either way, supply chains are adding additional risk to your business.
Cyberrock Delivers: We help by checking the security of your devices and network making sure your business stays safe even through your connections with others in your supply chain.
Insider Threats
Threat: Sometimes, the risk comes from people inside your company, either on purpose or by accident. Employees might share sensitive information or make mistakes that lead to security problems, especially when working remotely or in a mix of office and home settings.
Cyberrock Delivers: We can help detect risky behaviour from inside your company network and alert you to intervene and reduce these kinds of risks.
Mobile Device Vulnerabilities
Threat: Using mobile devices like phones, tablets, smartwatches and laptops for work creates more chances for attackers to break into your systems, especially when people use their personal devices (BYOD – Bring Your Own Device) for work.
Cyberrock Delivers: We provide tools to identify, manage and secure all mobile devices connecting to your network, making sure they are secure and protected from attacks.
Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs)
Threat: Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) are attackers that focus on very specific and targeted organisations, often to spy and steal information or intellectual property or causing malicious damage. They use smart and complex methods to stay hidden and keep attacking over a long period of time. This might include attacking supply chain companies to achieve their objectives.
Cyberrock Delivers: We offer tools to identify changes to your devices or network that might be an indicator of an attacker moving stealthily through your network and alerting you before they can cause harm.
Zero-Day Exploits
Threat: A zero-day exploit is when attackers find and use a weakness in software being used on your devices or servers before the producer or manufacturer company knows about it or can fix it. This lets them attack systems before any updates or patches are available to fix the problem.
Cyberrock Delivers: We provide tools that regularly check your network devices for weaknesses or configuration changes that may be a sign that a zero day exploit has been used. Real time alerts will ensure a rapid response to unauthorised activity.
IoT Device Exploitation
Threat: Internet of Things (IoT) devices, like smart speakers, security cameras, smart thermostats, or smart lights, are often used in offices and homes. These devices can be easy targets for hackers if they don’t have strong security or are not set up correctly. Some IoT devices don’t have any security at all or have been designed to leak data to certain state operators.
Cyberrock Delivers: We help by checking the identity and security of your connected IoT devices and help you identify misconfigured devices, unsafe devices or devices that have already been compromised. Remember you can’t install antivirus on IoT devices so Cyberrock gives you the protection you need to stay safe.
Cybersecurity Talent Shortages
Threat: Many companies don't have enough trained security staff, and the ones they do have can get overwhelmed and burned out. This leaves the company more exposed to cyberattacks.
Cyberrock Delivers: We provide an automated AI-powered 24/7 protection solution that monitors your network and devices helping to protect your company, reducing the need for extra staff and making security easier to manage. We’ll also connect you to trusted cybersecurity experts if an issue arises that needs expert attention.
Increased Regulatory Pressure
Threat: Companies are under growing pressure to follow strict rules about data protection and cybersecurity, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) rules, or ISO/IEC 27001 and other international standards. These regulations are complex, and failing to comply can lead to heavy fines and penalties or loss of valuable contracts.
Cyberrock Delivers: We provide expert guidance to help you meet data cybersecurity compliance standards including downloadable network audit and risk reports to help you apply for and remain compliant.
