Why is Cyber Awareness
Important?

• As with most crimes the police can’t tackle this
problem alone
• To encourage reporting
• Promote Government backed scheme ‘Cyber
Essentials’
• Cyber crime is massively under reported.
Who is doing the hacking?
Hacking
• Financial (theft, fraud, blackmail)
• Political /state (state level/ military)
• Fame/ kudos (fun/ status)
• Hacktivism (cause)
• Pen testers (legal hacking)
• Police
• Insider
• Business
Common threats - Ransomware
• Normally loaded onto a computer via a download/attachment/link
from an email or website.
• Will either lock the screen or encrypt your data.
• Once Ransomware is uploaded on your computer/tablet/phone it is
very difficult to remove without removing all of the data
• Wannacry attack 2017 - One of the biggest cyber attacks to occur.
• Is said to have hit 300,000 computers in 150 countries.
• Companies affected include; NHS, Renault, FedEx, Spanish telecoms
and gas companies, German railways.
Ransomware
• More than a third of NHS trusts in England and Wales were affected with over 6,800 operations
cancelled.
How to tackle Ransomware
• Back up- Keep a backed up copy of your data. Ensure its not
permanently connected to the network.
• Patch- Keep your software up to date. Wannacry was successful as
those affected computers hadn’t updated. The update contained a fix
for the problem.
• Attachments- Don’t click on links from emails/SMS as this could easily
be from an untrusted source and contain malware like Ransomware
Phishing
• Is the attempt to obtain sensitive information by deception.
• They will be after your login credentials, payment card details or to upload malware to your computer
• The email will normally impersonate a genuine company or person.

How to tackle the


problem
• Don’t click any links on an email unless
you can guarantee who its from.
• Use a trusted method of contacting the
company via a phone number, app or
website.
• Mark the email as spam and contact the
organisation.
What to look out for when shopping
on the internet?
• Ensure you’re on the correct website
• HTTPS and the padlock- The ‘S’ stands for secure,
this means you have a secure connection to the
website. This should prevent a ‘man in the middle’
attack. It encrypts your data and the receiver will be
able to decrypt it but if it is a fraudulent website
they will still obtain your information.
• Use a credit card/ PayPal when conducting online
transactions.
Public Wi-Fi
• May not be trustworthy. They could share your information to other
companies who operate in countries without any data protection.
• You may not know who is watching you whilst you’re online.

What to do and not do to


• Don’t use online banking. Use your own data.
• Don’t conduct any purchases
• Use a virtual private network (VPN)
Passwords Advice
• Use 1 password per account.
• Three random words is the NCSC’s advice. Capitals, special characters
and numbers is your own choice.
• If you follow this advice your passwords security will be significantly
increased against a brute force attack.
• Password managers can be helpful to store your passwords.
Advice
• In the physical world we’re good at protecting ourselves and our
property, we need to replicate this in the digital world.
• 80% of cyber-crime is preventable.

• QR Codes
Advice
• Update and migrate
• Activate your firewall
• Staff awareness
• Data encryption
• User accounts privileges i.e admin
• Cyber insurance
• Prepare Plan
You are the best defence!
• Technology is only a small part of Cyber Defence

Aware employees – train your staff

Always be aware!
Always be on your guard!
