While cyber attacks are common, perhaps, even normal, in the interconnected and globalised world we live in, no industry has been hit harder than the healthcare sector, which loses billions of dollars annually as a result of these attacks.With a sufficient level of awareness of some of these emerging threats, healthcare cybersecurity professionals may find it easier to execute powerful defences to keep cybercriminals out.

Cybersecurity is made up of three key pillars; people, process and technology.

To ensure you have Defence in Depth, it is important to ensure a cyber aware culture across your organisation.

Employees must understand the importance of information so they take appropriate steps and implement the right controls.

Triskele Labs cybersecurity awareness training programs are built to empower employees to make the right decision and protect themselves, systems and information against ongoing threats.

Incident response is a word both well-known and dreaded by anyone well-versed with the processes and terminology of the world of cybersecurity.

Referring to the methodology used to handle security incidents, breaches, data leaks and other threats, cybersecurity incident response is, essentially, your doomsday plan or strategy.Within this process, there are a few crucial stages: Identifying attacks, minimising potential and actual damage, and then remedying the vulnerabilities that lead to the attack in the first place and adopting long-term preventative measures.

Cybersecurity in higher education institutes has always been a major concern.

Amidst the pandemic, it became an even bigger challenge for colleges and universities across Australia.

As we’ve witnessed, cyber attacks increased in both volume and severity.

Cybercrime has been a major problem for every industry since the advent of the internet but no other industry has suffered more than the healthcare sector.In recent years, healthcare has shown to be particularly susceptible to cyber attacks, with the most common threat being ransomware attacks.

In 2020, the Australian Cybersecurity Centre revealed a staggering 85% increase in cybercrime-related incidents in the Australian healthcare sector, showing just how vulnerable the healthcare industry is to cyber attacks.With the current pandemic, hospitals are working overtime, allowing cybercriminals to prey on the sector’s desperation by using malicious techniques like ransomware attacks to lock up hospital systems.Many hospitals have not improved their cybersecurity, so they fail to identify potential threats and fall victim to them, giving them no choice but to pay the attackers to get their systems running again.

From an incident response perspective, the most important thing is to make sure nobody panics.

The reality is that something bad has happened, it’s going to impact you and be potentially devastating for the business, but panicking isn’t going to help.So, you trigger your incident response plan.This, we’ve found, tends to be the first hurdle that many businesses face.

Often, incident response plans are written, stuck on a shelf (or worse, in a folder on the ransomed network) and never reviewed or tested.

Triskele Labs is one of Australia’s fastest growing cybersecurity companies.

Banks and other financial institutions (FIs) use online banking to enrich their portfolio of services and operate more efficiently.

However, while digital banking has propelled revenue and profitability, it has also raised cybersecurity concerns.

Research shows that the finance industry is the second-most targeted industry for cyberattacks.

This alarming trend indicates that the finance industry needs to invest in more sophisticated threat detection solutions to prevent costly breaches because they can cost $3.7 million to resolve.

The recent string of attacks has been an eye-opener that the industry needs to address in order to secure its digital resources.

Simple measures such as whitelisting and password management can minimise many of the avenues cybercriminals would otherwise be able to exploit.

Going forward, agribusinesses and other industries can look to adopt blockchain systems instead of the cloud-based systems they currently use.

Every year, retail businesses across the globe serve billions of customers, processing terabytes of personal and financial information during these transactions.

Retailers, in turn, use this data to improve their processes and service-delivery models.The sensitive nature of data collected and stored during these transactions, however, makes retailers an attractive target for threat actors, and the numbers back this up.In 2020, the retail industry was the fourth most-targeted industry by cybercriminals after finance, manufacturing, and energy industries—10.2% of all cyber attacks were targeted at retail businesses.

Cybersecurity threats in retail can be entirely prevented if retailers stay updated and follow cybersecurity best practices.

The NIST Cybersecurity Framework has been introduced to help businesses prepare and respond effectively at a time where cybersecurity is teetering on a very dangerous edge,By aligning your security structure, processes and procedures with that of this framework, you ensure that you’re never on the backfoot.If you’re unsure how well your strategies line up with the framework’s recommendations or are unsure of how to give it effect, reach out to us to see how well you’ve done.

A security roadmap is not a one-and-done undertaking.

As your business’ priorities and goals change, whether in line with shifting consumer demand or according to the regulatory compliance landscape, so should the objectives outlined in your roadmap.One way to ensure this is to conduct a PCI DSS compliance audit with the support of a PCI-qualified security assessor to ensure you are meeting your compliance standards.

As a company that processes card payments, you can become a victim of credit card fraud, which is why PCI compliance must be ensured across your operations.
