Telecommunications
IoT
The IoT has exploded in terms of application with connected devices, creating more entry points into the process. One of the biggest challenges for telecom operators and Internet service providers (ISPs) in today's climate is the impact of the Internet of Things (IoT) on the industry.
Insider Threats
here are more than 30% of people now working remotely, connections to unsecured networks will be established. Although some attacks are vindictive, a problem in telecommunications is that many employees are completely unaware that they pose a threat in the first place.
Third-Party Risk
Third parties, including vendors, partners, e-mail providers, service providers, web hosting, law firms, data management companies and subcontractors could easily be a backdoor into crucial infrastructure, for attackers to infiltrate.
The impact of a successful attack is not only large, but widespread as this industry controls a large majority of the world's complex and critical infrastructure. From satellite companies to Internet service providers to phone companies, the infrastructure behind these organizations allows all video, audio and text to be sent across the globe. Without it, we are stuck. Criminals know this and their cyber attacks on the telecommunications industry are skyrocketing.
Effective security always comes down to three key elements. Processes, people and technology.
Processes must run seamlessly alongside the organization. Security experts must have the capability to detect, react and understand the context of a risk. And the technology must be superior, to keep up with cyber threats. All elements are equally as important, and you must have all three to ensure security.
