On the occasion of Cybersecurity Awareness Month, and following the recent hacker attacks on the SIAE website, 2N offers us an updated guide to defend against cybercriminals.
The Cybersecurity Awareness Month 2021 it falls at a particular moment for Italy: that of the recent hacker attacks on the SIAE database. For greater awareness and protection, 2N, a global leader in IP access control systems, offers us a complete guide on the subject. This offers useful up-to-date tips to help users and property owners enhance the security of smart buildings.
Tomáš Vystavěl, Chief Product Officer of 2N, he has declared:
“As a global leader in IP access control systems, 2N believes it is necessary to provide customers with guidance on cybersecurity, on the one hand to help users cope with the constant increase in threats and on the other, to increase corporate awareness. in the area of access control which, to date, still struggle to keep up with this type of events. If the access control system is compromised, in fact, the daily operation of the entire building and consequently its residents and visitors, is immediately at risk. And if it is true that general awareness is increasing, it is increasingly necessary to accelerate change ”.
Peralto, a recent report by Kaspersky, a leader in cybersecurity, revealed that during the first six months of 2021 they occurred over 1.5 billion attacks targeting IoT devices (Internet of Things). These included door locks, smart home accessories and smart video intercoms. To track and prevent these attacks, Kaspersky experts have created honeypots. These are nothing more than special software that mimics a vulnerable device. Once distributed publicly on the Internet, they are used as a red herring to lure cybercriminals.
According to the analysis, in the first half of 2021 the total number of infection attempts doubled compared to the previous semester (1,515,714,259 against 639,155,942 in the second half of 2020). The interest from cybercriminals in this sector has intensified since the interest from users in these devices has increased.
According to other data from Kaspersky, 89% of individuals are concerned about the safety of their devices. However, the data also tells us that Italian users they believe they are not important enough to be a victim of a hacker. Precisely for this reason they tend to underestimate the protection of their connected devices.
