Employees who do not follow guidelines have become the top barrier to IT security (28%)

As reported by Untangle’s 2021 SMB IT Security Report, this phenomenon was only worsened by the increase in remote workers due to the pandemic. Many employees aren’t familiar with using VPNs, opening the door to unauthorized network access and other risks.

Since many organizations report the continuation of remote work for at least a portion of their workforces, these types of human error incidents are expected to rise.

SMBs are almost as likely as large corporations to experience a data breach

CS-DAY-540: What do you know about cybersecurity?

Before computer hacking, there was phreaking. The “ph-” was for phone, and the phreaks liked to reverse engineer the system of tones that telecommunications companies used for long-distance dialing. Recreating the tones for each number, at just the right pitch, could mean making a free call rather than running up expensive charges. In 1957, Joe Engressia (Joybubbles), a blind, 7-year-old boy with perfect pitch, hears a high-pitched tone on a phone line and begins whistling along to it at a frequency of 2600Hz, enabling him to communicate with phone lines and become the U.S.’s first phone hacker or “phone phreak.”

The French telegraph system was hacked in 1834 by a pair of thieves who stole financial market information — effectively conducting the world’s first cyberattack.
