COMPUTER SECURITY DAY- NOVEMBER-30
Since 1988, Computer Security Day is celebrated on
November 30 every year. Historically for events like the birth of Winston
Churchill,This day is celebrated to raise public awareness to use the computer
while keeping it safe from threats. Carve 10 minutes out of your schedule today
to keep your account secure and reduce your risk of being compromised. Follow
the tips below and don't ever say, "It won't happen to me” Cybersecurity
is everyone's responsibility.Cybersecurity Ventures expects global cybercrime
costs to grow by 15 percent per year over the next five years, reaching $10.5
trillion USD annually by 2025, up from $3 trillion USD in 2015. This represents
the greatest transfer of economic wealth in history, risks the incentives for
innovation and investment, is exponentially larger than the damage inflicted
from natural disasters in a year, and will be more profitable than the global
trade of all major illegal drugs combined.
The damage cost estimation is based on historical
cybercrime figures including recent year-over-year growth, a dramatic increase
in hostile nation-state sponsored and organized crime gang hacking activities,
and a cyberattack surface which will be an order of magnitude greater in 2025
than it is today.
Cybercrime costs include damage and destruction of
data, stolen money, lost productivity, theft of intellectual property, theft of
personal and financial data, embezzlement, fraud, post-attack disruption to the
normal course of business, forensic investigation, restoration and deletion of
hacked data and systems, and reputational harm.
