La cybersecurity non è una cosa tanto complicata, almeno in certi aspetti. Ad esempio, anche qui ci sono un sacco di falsi miti che andrebbero sfatati; perché credere in certe cose sbagliate ci porta ad abbassare la guardia, esponendoci a rischi anche grazi. Alcuni di questi miti anno una storia antica, e risalgono a un'epoca in cui quasi nessuno capiva cosa fosse la rete, e le minacce informatiche erano facili da capire, nonché ridotte in numero. Gli hacker attaccano solo le grandi aziende I cybercriminali sono imprenditori e prendono di mira chiunque, dalla grande impresa fino al singolo utente che naviga su Internet, per rubare principalmente dati e credenziali utili a monetizzare il loro sforzo. Spesso e volentieri l'idea è di colpire quante più persone possibili, sapendo che in pochi casi l'investimento sarà ripagato profumatamente. Bastano un antivirus e un firewall per essere al sicuro L’ antivirus e il firewall non sono sufficienti. Di fatto, … [Read more...] about 10 miti (falsi) sulla sicurezza informatica
