Vladislav Ivanov, leading specialist of the Digital Threat Analysis and Assessment Department at Softline Group, is confident that the virus epidemic in 2019 was a catalyst that revealed vulnerabilities in the information security systems of many companies. "The forced transition to remote work, the lack of secure corporate networks and the need to quickly adapt to new working conditions - all this had a significant impact on the level of data security," he explained.
Andrey Mishukov, CEO bangladesh whatsapp number database of the information security integrator company iTPROTECT, says that after employees switched to a remote work format, the protected IT perimeter was "stretched", and it became easier for attackers to gain access to confidential data, including on employees' personal PCs, than on hosts within the corporate IT infrastructure.
Deputy CEO of Atom Security LLC (part of SKB Kontur Group) Yuri Drachenin believes that almost all studies, as well as internal information exchanged by information security industry specialists, indicate an increase in the role of insiders. "Hackers have indeed become more active, but not in data leaks, but in DDoS attacks and work paralysis (sudden unavailability of sales sites, failures of verified services, communication breakdowns, misleading counterparties - ComNews note )," he explained.
InfoWatch analysts noted that small businesses in the category of up to 50 employees began to lose information twice as often in 2023 compared to 2022 - this figure increased from 18.5% to 34.1% due to an even decrease in data loss among large and medium-sized market players (from 54.3% to 47.3% and from 27.2% to 18.6%, respectively).
to the fact that small businesses do not have sufficient resources for information security, and says that many companies as a result of cyber attacks can also lose data, stop customer service and experience other unpleasant consequences. Andrey Arsenyev noted that a small company, for example, an online store, can store a much larger volume of confidential information and expose it to higher risks of compromise than a large plant.
Rustem Khairutdinov expressed the opinion that the reason why small businesses lose information more often is the low level of maturity of information security, in contrast to more mature businesses. He noted that the business itself can be quite automated and collect a large amount of data, so there is already something for attackers to profit from.
Marketing and communications director of the digital platform for organizing business trips and managing expenses "Raketa" Daria Zubritskaya notes that in the past, small businesses also often became a source of leaks of confidential information and this fact should not be particularly surprising.
She noted that one of the factors leading to leaks in small companies is that such organizations often do not have the ability to allocate sufficient financial resources to implement security systems.
Vladimir Ulyanov assured that the industry often learns about leaks from very large companies. This means that the more employees work in an organization, the higher the probability of stealing information or becoming the culprit of an unintentional leak.
