Bharat Bhise HNA on Four Cybersecurity Threats to Watch Out For in 2019


Cybersecurity is a hot topic among organizations, companies, even public entities like governments. As digital threats and concerns continue to evolve, all experts like Bharat Bhise HNA are warning that even common individuals need to look out for cybersecurity threats this year, all to protect data and information from being used without consent.

What are the different issues and concerns on cyber threats to look out for this year?
Exploitation. This is the main focus and idea behind cyber threats. From simple extortion and blackmail to the more complex threats like viruses and ransomware, all threats come from a single idea – exploitation of flaws (in the system or data itself). According to Trend Micro, while more sophisticated attacks will likely come out this year, these will all start with simply exploiting existing flaws.

Cloud hacks. Experts like Bharat Bhise HNA and Trend Micro also warns users that with the continued expansion of cloud usage, hackers and criminals will also continue to find ways to breach the cloud. According to observers, one emerging trend is to exploit cloud accounts for cryptocurrency mining.

AI hacks. Emerging technologies like artificial intelligence have advantages. However, they are also vulnerable to hacking. Criminal hackers can even turn AI against itself since they can inject self-mutating malware using machine learning. They can also use AI to screen and analyze phishing exploits automatically.

Cryptojacking. Since cryptocurrency mining is becoming popular as a mainstream industry, criminals are ready to seize the opportunity to take advantage of this field. Mining digital money like Bitcoin and Etherium requires solving mathematical equations, which needs huge amounts of computing capacity. Since most crypto miners use high-end rigs, Bharat Bhise HNA says most hackers try to find ways to hijack the processing power of these stations and do their own mining.

There are still other ways that hackers and cybercriminals use to take advantage of unsuspecting users. Follow Bharat Bhise HNA to know more about these threats and how to avoid them.

Bharat Bhise HNA Talks about Airport Cybersecurity: 97% Failure

Bharat Bhise HNA joins the rest of the world in reveling in the shocking news: 97% of the world’s airports soundly failed a cybersecurity test from ImmuniWeb. In the 2020 annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos-Klosters, the WEF had expressed concern in the cybersecurity found in the world’s airports. After all, millions of travelers pass through these airports every year, traveling across the globe. Their most sensitive personal information and data get processed through the airports—for immigration purposes, visas, and more. Their addresses, social security numbers, personal information, and other vital information are all referred back to in these airports. So it goes without saying that it’s merely a reasonable expectation for airports to have foolproof security. Sadly, from what Bharat Bhise HNA understands from the results of the study, that is not the case. The Gaping Holes In a sweep of the 100 most prominent international airports in the world, ImmuniW...

Bharat Bhise HNA on Mobile Cybersecurity Tips

Bharat Bhise HNA finds that many people don’t realize how vulnerable their mobile phones are to malicious attacks. Often, people only rely on built-in security functions within their mobile phone’s operating systems. Regardless of whether it’s iOS or Android, there are still risks and vulnerabilities in the operating system. And there are even more ways that a user may unintentionally put their mobile at risk that the OS can’t do anything about. It always pays to remember that your phone holds a significant amount of personal data, along with access to all your accounts and photos.

Bharat Bhise HNA Observes Continuous Legislative Efforts on Cybersecurity

Bharat Bhise HNA and other experts are keen on renewed efforts, especially on the legislature, of beefing up the cybersecurity landscape on both federal agencies and private infrastructure. The latest bill to be filed exclusively dealing with cybersecurity is the Advancing Cybersecurity Diagnostics and Mitigation Act. Filed by Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-Texas) and Ro Khanna (D-Calif), the new bill hopes to strengthen the already-in-place digital protection programs under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The main project under the DHS is the Continuous Diagnostics Mitigation (CDM) program, the agency’s approach to cybersecurity for federal agencies. Under the new bill, the DHS is directed to codify the CDM project, and also gives policy development powers under the DHS Secretary. According to Bharat Bhise HNA, one unique feature of the new bill is its all-encompassing setup. If the bill becomes law, the DHS is mandated to make cybersecurity programs and policies avai...
