Touchless solutions have risen to the forefront this year because of the latest pandemic that has reshaped the way we work and live. When social distance policies were placed in motion, borders closed, establishments paused operations, and businesses moved online operating amid lockdown.
Touchless technologies had to be put in place almost everywhere to preserve human touch. It has ceased to be just an option since it is now a necessity in the new normal.
And much as the dreaded physical epidemic that subjected the world to the pandemic, computer hackers have exploited the vulnerability of individuals, institutions, and networks amid the height of the crisis. Here are a number of them:
Cyber attacks against Internet-exposed RDP ports soared from 3 million to 4.5 million between January and March 2020.
Increase in attempted security breaches after March to unexpected remote working setup without comprehensive security planning.
Increase in phishing attacks linked to COVID-19 by 667%.
DDoS attacks accounted for 45% of the recorded security threats, and 43% of those were password login attacks. The remainder is malware attacks, web threats, fraudulent DNS queries against client DNS servers, and unclassified attacks.
Corporate ransomware attacks are up, as in the case of attacks against Honda in June 2020 and severe outages triggered by cyber assaults against Garmin in July 2020. It has been confirmed that the attackers came from the Russian organization, Evil Corp.
Canon suffered a ransomware assault by the Maze ransomware gang in August, where 10 TB (terabytes) of data were taken, private databases, and the like.
Deployment of data mining malware such as remote access Trojan, data thieves, spyware, and banking Trojans with COVID-19 linked information as bait.
Growing amounts of fake news or misinformation are circulating quickly among the public. In a cybercrime survey, around 30% of the countries that participated attested to the spread of false COVID-19 information. Other cyberattacks included fraud via mobile text messages.
3 Examples why we need secured touchless solutions
Despite these attacks, there is still no doubt that the need for more touchless tech is urgent. How can touchless solutions be integrated into the workplace, schools, public utilities, and the like without compromising our security?
1.Opt to use personal instead of shared devices.
We need cloud-based software, storage, and other solutions if we go touchless. Using cloud-based software on p |
