2023-10-17 00:00:00 | Mois de la cybersécurité: les Irlandais ont demandé à reconsidérer leurs choix de mots de passe Cyber Security Month: Irish People Urged to Reconsider Their Password Choices (lien direct) |
Alors que le Mois de la cybersécurité commence, les données de Cyber Skills ont révélé que les clubs sportifs populaires, les personnalités radio renommées et les programmes télévisés bien-aimés sont parmi les mots de passe les plus courants parmi les utilisateurs d'Internet, ce qui en fait des objectifs de premier ordre pour les cybercriminels. En utilisant le site Web Heebeenpwned, qui abrite plus de 613 millions de mots de passe à partir de comptes piratés, une étude a été menée pour évaluer la vulnérabilité de certains mots de passe.En entrant des noms de célébrités irlandaises éminentes, d'équipes sportives et de contenu culturel, les résultats étaient intéressants.Ces choix apparemment "uniques" étaient, en réalité, répandus et facilement supposables par les pirates. Les directives d'identité numérique du National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) mettent l'accent sur l'importance des pratiques de mot de passe sécurisées, conseillant aux organisations d'empêcher les abonnés de l'utilisation de mots de passe qui sont précédemment apparus dans une violation de données.Cette recommandation souligne la signification de la sélection de mots de passe qui n'ont pas été compromis dans les cyber-incidents passés. Hazel Murray de Cyber Skills a commenté "Ce que beaucoup considèrent comme un mot de passe \\ 'fort \', faisant référence aux points de contact culturels, est en fait facilement déchiffré par les cybercriminels.sera fort.Elle a ajouté que "Glenroe a terminé il y a plus de 20 ans à la télévision, mais il a été utilisé près de 90 fois dans la base de données piratée de mots de passe." Richard Browne du National Cyber Security Center conseille: «Utilisez des mots de passe forts diversifiés, plus le mot de passe est long, plus il est difficile de casser.Si vous allez à dix personnages ou plus, il devient très très difficile de le casser. Certains des mots de passe les plus courants de la base de données des mots de passe piratés sont: 123456 - 36 millions de fois Qwerty - 10 millions de fois Mot de passe 9 millions de fois À la lumière de ces résultats, les Irlandais sont invités à réévaluer et à renforcer leurs choix de mots de passe.Le mois de la cybersécurité sert de rappel en temps opportun de l'importance de sauvegarder notre présence numérique.En prenant des mesures proactives et en nous éduquant sur les meilleures pratiques, nous pouvons collectivement contrecarrer les cyber-menaces et assurer un environnement en ligne plus sûr pour tous.

2023-09-14 00:00:00 | La petite idée avec un grand impact sur l'écart de talents de cybersécurité The Small Idea With a Big Impact on the Cybersecurity Talent Gap (lien direct) |
The cost of cybercrime is expected to reach $8 trillion globally this year, yet the scarcity of security talent is becoming more pronounced. With more than 750,000 cybersecurity positions unfilled in the U.S. and 3.5 million positions worldwide unfilled, the race is on to close the skills shortage that is estimated to contribute to 80% of all security breaches. In 2022, cyberattacks increased by 38%. The global average cost of a data breach reached $4.35 million, while the average cost of a data breach in the U.S. reached $9.44 million, according to a report by IBM and the U.S.-based Ponemon Institute. Bringing on more technical talent is central to companies in order to stop these threat actors. “Cybercrime can be very lucrative. And the reality is, talent is your best line of defense,” said Donna O\'Shea, chair of cybersecurity at Munster Technological University (MTU) in Cork, Ireland. Easing the Talent Crunch With Bite-Sized Learning As the digital economy evolves, more opportunities for malicious attacks are coming to the fore. Creative approaches aimed at increasing the pool of security professionals are emerging–and bringing down the barriers that once kept people from pursuing these lucrative roles. “There has been a lot of progress made in terms of the way that we deliver cybersecurity education,” O\'Shea said. Micro-credentials are small, accredited courses that allow candidates to pursue highly focused upskilling and reskilling that respond to niche labor market needs. Experts predict that lowering the time and costs involved in post-graduate studies will attract more learners and help address the cybersecurity talent scarcity. In 2020, the Irish Universities Association (IUA) was awarded €12.3 million through the country\'s Department of Further and Higher Education to become the first European country to establish a national framework for nationally accredited micro-credentials. “This is a real innovation in workforce development and lifelong learning,” says Aisling Soden, talent transformation & innovation manager for IDA Ireland. The cyberskills micro-credential programs are administered through academic institutes, co-designed by industry and, in time, will be transferrable across Europe. Because they are offered online, Soden also sees micro-credentials as a way to help companies upskill staff with specific cybersecurity skills to an international standard of education. These highly specific cybersecurity short courses will also benefit companies looking to upskill internal staff or access new talent in 25+ critical areas such as network systems, security standards & risk, security architecture, malware, reverse engineering and more. Soden envisions the micro-credential standards playing a bigger role on the global stage: “In the future, I can see these standards being recognized worldwide.” Underrepresented Communities: An Untapped Resource In 2022, Ireland was one of only a few countries to make headway in the quest to narrow cybersecurity talent shortages. Most regions around the world reported an increase in their cybersecurity workforce gap, according to a report by (ISC)², the world\'s leading cybersecurity professional organization. Last year, Ireland closed its cybersecurity skills gap by 19.5% while the global gap grew by 26.2%. O\'Shea stressed the need to do a “much better job globally of reaching underrepresented populations to fill these open positions.” Especially now, she says, as micro-credentials bring down the cost, time commitments and previously required masters-level studies for training for cybersecurity jobs, opportunities must increase for women, military veterans, minority groups and people from financially disadvantaged communities. There\'s also an untapped market of individuals displaced from hospitality and other service sectors during the pandemic. Society needs to do a better job of fostering cybersecurity talent across the entire hiring spectrum, said O\'Shea.

2022-08-29 00:00:00 | Le nouveau certificat de cybersécurité offre aux PME une voie vers une plus grande résilience commerciale et un sauvetage en ligne New cyber security certificate offers SMEs a pathway to greater business resilience and online savviness (lien direct) |
Chair of Cybersecurity in Munster Technological University, Dr. Donna O\'Shea, and Head of School of Informatics & Cybersecurity at TU Dublin, Dr. Anthony Keane contributed to this article in the Independent.ie In recent years, cyber security has emerged as a key issue for businesses in Ireland and across the world. Small enterprises are exposed to the same digital threats as larger businesses, but may lack the resources to defend themselves. It has been estimated that almost half of SMEs that suffer a serious cyber attack can go out of business within months. Enhanced cyber security is a matter of great societal importance, because SMEs operating in myriad industries such as retail, health care and construction are the backbone of the Irish economy. They constitute 99pc of all businesses and account for more than half of EU Gross Domestic Product (GDP). SMEs play a vital role in adding value to all sector of the economy, but they may lack essential skills on how to protect their businesses, which are often heavily dependent on digital systems that are vulnerable to cyber-attacks. The urgency of addressing this skills gap was highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which forced many businesses online, exposing them to a higher risk of cyber attacks with little support available. Irish businesses operating online often possess a low cyber security awareness, have inadequate knowledge of GDPR requirements in the protection of critical and sensitive information, and have a low level of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) skills to protect their business. They can also experience significant budgetary constraints that lead them to view cyber security as a relatively significant cost, rather than an important investment in their business resilience. In addition, many SMEs have direct and indirect business relationships with larger organisations. For this reason, cyber criminals often focus on SMEs as a gateway into the larger organisations, knowing that these smaller businesses\' cyber awareness and defensive structures are typically less robust than those of the criminals\' larger targets. Recently, the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) and the Garda National Crime Bureau have written to the Small Firms Association to warn business owners of the ongoing series of ransomware attacks. They have observed a growing trend of small and medium sized enterprises being targeted by cybercrime groups with ransomware malicious software that is designed to block access to a computer system. Another common cyber crime tactic is threatening to leak sensitive stolen data until a sum of money is paid. The NCSC said it has noticed a change in tactics whereby hackers are now turning their attention away from big business and Government departments, towards smaller businesses. Providing businesses with cyber skills Professor Donna O\'Shea is Chair of Cybersecurity in Munster Technological University and currently leads a Higher Education Authority (HEA) Human Capital Initiative (HCI) project called CYBER-SKILLS: a nationally funded project in collaboration with University of Limerick, Technological University (TU) Dublin, and Commonwealth Cyber Initiative, Virginia Tech U.S. This ground-breaking initiative aims to address the cybersecurity skills challenge in Irish SMEs. Prof. O\'Shea says, “Growing up, my family owned an electrical retail store, so I really understood the challenges that small businesses face, their limitations in terms of time and how cost can sometimes be a barrier. When designing the course Certificate in Cybersecurity for Business for CYBER-SKILLS, we really wanted a pathway to be open to everyone and we wanted to reduce the barriers to participating in the course, by reducing the cost, making it flexible in delivery, focusing on applied skills and providing the essential necessary knowledge and skills to protect small businesses everywhere against cyber attacks.” Irish professionals and businesses have expressed a growing interest in cybersecurity courses and careers, as borne out by the recen | Ransomware Data Breach Malware Patching Prediction Cloud | ★★ |
