Awareness of cybersecurity key to maintaining privacy

CYBERSECURITY has become the mainstay of national security and is as important as other branches of security such as economic and food security.

The first cybersecurity conference and exhibition recently hosted by Bahrain came at the right time. This vital topic is of growing importance, especially considering the high-level participation of distinguished companies, speakers, and experts from around the world.

I don’t claim to be familiar with all aspects of cybersecurity but this term, which has started to circulate a lot over the past few years, has made me pay attention to it, read about it, and discover that every one of us is concerned with it.

Anyone who connects to the Internet through a mobile phone or computer is vulnerable to hacking, tracking, theft of data, information and money or extortion, at the level of individuals, institutions, companies, and organisations.

Cyberspace has developed into a furious theatre of conflict between nations. Indeed, what we observe in the confrontation between Russia and Ukraine may not be as heated as the two nations’ cyber war.

This new war between the two countries aim to sabotage defence systems, follow the movements of military units, and sabotage electricity, water, sewage, and anything connected to the Internet.

The Cold War has not stopped. Its shape has changed. Witness the relationship between China and the US, each one accuses the other of hacking their systems and spying on military, political, technical, industrial, and other plans. And let’s not forget the accusations of Russia interfering in the US elections by hacking and tampering with Internet content.

Cyber warfare does not stop especially between the various intelligence services. Spies no longer need to be recruited and trained for years before they can be sent to hunt for information here and there. The trend has become to train cyberhackers who can penetrate computers, networks, and information systems, without exposing themselves to the slightest danger.

Earlier on, Israel became aware of the importance of cybersecurity and invested a lot in it. It also became the first in the Middle East in this field, and benefited from it commercially, as its companies…

October Is Cybersecurity Awareness Month. Part 3: Use Strong Passwords

/in


In this multi-part series, we’ll look at what organizations can do to better improve corporate cybersecurity as part of October’s Cybersecurity Awareness Month. In this blog, our focus is using strong passwords.

Passwords and passcodes are now required on almost all devices, accounts, and systems. Making sure you use strong passwords will help keep you safe. We’ll look at what strong passwords are and how to go about using them.

Password security starts with creating a strong password. A strong password is:

  • At least 12 characters long but 14 or more is better.
  • A combination of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.
  • Avoids words that can be found in a dictionary or the name of a person, character, product, or organization.
  • Significantly different from your previous passwords.
  • Easy for you to remember but difficult for others to guess. For example, consider a memorable phrase like “6CatzRLo0king^”.

You can also use passwords suggested by browsers or password managers, which we’ll discuss later.

Once you’ve created strong passwords, you’ll have to make sure you’re using them properly. For example, you’ll never want to share the passwords with anyone. Also, you’ll want to have a unique password for each device, application, and website. Next, you’ll want to be sure to change all default passwords on systems and devices. Some devices have been hacked because they come with default credentials like admin/admin from the factory and never prompt a user to update the password during first log in.

You can also use browsers to learn about your password hygiene. For example, for macOS users, Safari can be enabled to let you know if your passwords need to be changed because they are being reused or have been compromised.

To check on this, go to Safari > Preferences > Passwords. Here you can enable “Detect compromised passwords”.

If the password is compromised, you will be told why and be given the option to change and update the offending password:

Another bit of password hygiene to keep in mind is when you learn about a breach, either through news or from a notification email from a website, change your password immediately. You never want…

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month. Part 2: Enable Multi-Factor Authentication

/in


In this multi-part series, we’ll look at what organizations can do to better improve corporate security as part of October’s Cybersecurity Awareness Month. In this blog, our focus is on multi-factor authentication (MFA).

Believe it or not, computers in the old days didn’t even require passwords to get in. The threat wasn’t obvious since computers weren’t everywhere so when you powered a computer on and it was done booting, you’d just use it as needed. Once computers became common in the workplace and different folks had physical access to a computer, the user and password pairing was born. Still, some people, just like they do today, would just write the password on a Post-it Note and call it a day. Many people used ‘password’ or ‘12345’ as their password. The password has evolved and today most systems require a minimum of 8 characters including a number, a capitalized letter, and a special character, which make them harder to guess if you haven’t written it down.

Are passwords perfect now?

Nope. According to various studies, 81% of breaches are caused by poorly-chosen passwords. According to a CNET report in 2020, hackers have published as many as 555 million stolen passwords on the dark web since 2017. When you consider that many people use the same password or a variation of a single password, you can see how poor passwords and password-related practices continue to lead to breaches.

So, what can be done?

Enabling MFA is a start. Multi-factor authentication, sometimes referred as Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), comes in different flavors and not all are built equally. MFA can mean two passwords to two different Microsoft Active Directory (AD) servers, but this is rarely used. The most common is credentials (username/password) with a token. RSA and Google Authenticator are a couple of the more popular token options. These tokens are multi-digit, one-time, and are short-lived, making them hard to guess and even if shared, as there is a short window where they are valid. The other method is a push notification to a different device. The MFA software is usually installed on a mobile phone and when trying to log in from a laptop, the user is prompted to…
