To mark the beginning of National Cybersecurity Awareness Month (NCSAM), the FBI has published an article discussing the gravity of cybersecurity challenges and providing tips and links to resources to help organizations confront the threats. While recognizing the increasing sophistication of the threats, the FBI emphasizes that some of the most damaging incidents begin with something as simple as an employee clicking a link in an email that appears to be from a colleague, following the instructions in a message that looks like it came from a supervisor, or opening an account link or invoice that seems to be from a trusted vendor. “These routine actions can be what exposes a computer or an entire network to a ransomware attack, data breach, or another crime,” said FBI Cyber Division Assistant Director Matt Gorham. “As we mark National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, our hope is to focus attention on the efforts required to safeguard individual computers and accounts and secure and protect critical data and infrastructure.” Read the article at the FBI.
