The thing about cybersecurity is you have to defend successfully 100% of the time. The hacker, on the other hand, only has to succeed once. In other words, when protecting from online risk, if you lose a single battle, you'll probably lose the war. But, for the hacker, one win and its total victory.

In cybersecurity, the battlefield is asymmetrical, with the attacker at a great advantage, and the fight is a long slog without rest. It takes a consistent state of high performance to compete successfully in cyber warfare, and defenses must be best-in-class and on the job at all times.

FBI Internet Crime Report for 2020

No one is surprised that the top crime reported for 2020 was phishing, with 241,342 complaints. 

 

These numbers make it clear; the best defense against cybercrime is awareness and critical thinking with your email inbox.  

 

The best way to avoid the #1 risk of internet fraud is learning to identify email phishing and spoofing from your inbox. Here's how

Privacy and Personal Safety

 

We think it's important to share that we see a meaningful though unsettling trend. More people are coming to us because they are in or have left an abusive relationship of one sort or another. Whether it is an ex, a neighbor, or a co-worker, they are being stalked, harassed, spied on, and broken into.

 

Everything from internet devices and appliances to email and online accounts became suspect and distrusted in these cases. It's unnerving to witness and a reminder that privacy is not only at the core of security and personal safety but critical to emotional well-being too.

 

Cases involving cyberstalking and spying demonstrate the immense power in aggregate personal data, especially in the hands of one that doesn't have your best interests at heart.

 

Finally, let's not forget, while we're pleased F-Secure has delivered again and continues to win against hackers and online crime, cyber warfare against your technology will never relent. Besides advanced technology to defend, personal vigilance, critical thinking skills, and common sense will always be paramount to survival and success in the digital age.
