Cybersecurity in Focus: Learn About Some Types of Attacks

Malicious emails, server attacks, and data “kidnapping” are just a few examples of the types of cyberattacks that can compromise both personal security and a company’s integrity. In addition, the presence of harmful programs such as viruses and malware can cause considerable damage, resulting in data loss and financial losses. Cybersecurity has become a global priority, and institutions such as ANATEL are actively focused on protecting citizens’ data. Network infrastructure security is one of the fundamental pillars for ensuring that information remains protected against cyber threats. To address these challenges, ANATEL has implemented Act 2436 and Act 77, which establish guidelines for evaluating security parameters in telecommunications equipment. These acts aim to ensure that the devices used in communication comply with standards that promote the security and reliability of the information transmitted. In this context, TechLab stands out as a laboratory that is prepared to meet this scope. Evaluated and accredited, TechLab conducts rigorous testing to ensure that telecommunications equipment complies with security standards, helping to mitigate risks and protect user data. 
How to Protect Yourself? 
In addition to having certified equipment, there are some practices that you and your company can adopt to strengthen cybersecurity:
1.    Education and Awareness: Train your team on how to identify and avoid malicious emails and other phishing attempts.
2.    Regular Updates: Keep all systems and software up to date to ensure you have the latest security fixes.
3.    Use Strong Passwords: Implement strong password policies and consider two-factor authentication (2FA) to increase security.
4.    Data Backup: Perform regular backups of vital information to ensure you can recover data in the event of an attack.
5.    Continuous Monitoring: Use monitoring tools to detect suspicious activity on your network.
Cybersecurity is a shared responsibility and being informed and prepared is the first step in protecting your data and your business from cyberattacks. Stay alert and invest in the security of your infrastructure!
