Cisco Releases 2018 Cybersecurity Report

Networking company Cisco Systems has released its 2018 Annual Cybersecurity Report. One of the major points this report makes is the importance of being prepared for digital attacks in order to defend against them. As more and more people and businesses use digital resources to store and transfer personal and corporate files, demand for reliable and secure storage services is growing.

Data breaches have become extremely common and companies are rushing to ensure the security of their digital existence. What’s more, IoT (Internet of Things) means that essentially every aspect of our lives has been loaded online and is, therefore, vulnerable to a wide array of threats.

The Cisco report points out that as IoT expands, attackers are carrying out more advanced DDoS attacks. Security is crucial when it comes to all of this information that we are making digitally available. However, according to the report, only 26% of security issues can be addressed solely by products. People and policies are also critical components in ensuring security.

Weak passwords are something that many people are guilty of having and this is a threat to online security. They need to be strong and changed frequently to keep our information safe. But this is often not enough and encryption keys are also growing in importance when it comes to keeping data stored on cloud services secure. This is why demand for services that provide secure protection is likely to grow even more as the vulnerabilities of existing methods are revealed on a regular basis.

The Cisco Cybersecurity Report indicates that security professionals are aware of threats and are working to defend against them. Security breaches are also leading the way for new investment in technology and IT training.
