Common Ways Hackers Get into Your Business Network Infrastructure

Time and time again, business owners do not understand the importance of backing up data and preparing for network security threats, and instead of putting together a FULL plan to prevent data loss, they come up with "reasons" not to, such as lack of budget, lack of time to research and implement a solution, or just an all-out lack of concern. Small business network Infrastructure design should be a major concern for your business, if you plan to stay in business.

  1. 5 COMMON WAYS HACKERS GET INTO YOUR NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE www.streym.com

  2. INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION There are lots of ways that a hacker can get into your network infrastructure design and cause havoc. Here are 5 ways they may get in, all of which are preventable with the correct procedures and IT security.

  3. 1 Socially Engineered Malware This is the no.1 method of attack at the time of writing. It involves tricking end users into running “Trojan Horse” programs that come from trusted sites. The website is temporarily compromised, delivering malware that tells the user to install a new piece of software in order to proceed. They’ll keep being given prompts to click past security warnings and disable defences. Might sound like something you wouldn’t get caught out by, but they’re surprisingly believable and they’re responsible for millions of hacks yearly.

  4. 2. Phishing Around 70% of all email is spam, and a huge proportion of that spam is phishing attacks created to trick users into handing over important information. The attacker masquerades as a reputable person or organisation, distributing links and attachments that when opened steal login credentials and account details.

  5. 3 Out Of Date Software If your software is past its sell by date and missing out on the latest patches and updates, you’re gambling with your IT security. Technology has a way of becoming damaged in ways that aren’t obvious. Cyber criminals, however, can easily spot flaws in software and use them as a way into your network.

  6. 4. Social Media Social media is brilliant. It connects us with people from all over the world, opening up whole new commercial opportunities that would have never been possible even 20 years ago. But it’s not without its problems. Corporate hackers are always on the lookout for new ways to hack into your Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn accounts and steal your contacts. Or identity.

  7. 5. Mobile Apps A lot of people think that if an app is available through Google Play or Apple it’s safe. That’s not always the case and many apps contain malicious codes that can steal your data and compromise users’ privacy. If your staff are using their own devices for work, there’s potential for a data disaster.
