In many cases, IT administrators already have a pretty good idea of what is wrong with their company and how their own IT could be put to the test in order to identify and mitigate or even eliminate security gaps. However, this does not mean that administrators will get through to management with their proposals.  <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SpellingErrorV2Themed SCXW239159336 BCX4\">Cybersecurity<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW239159336 BCX4\">  costs money.

Unfortunately, the reality is completely different. Statistics suggest that as many as 99 percent of all cyber damage cases are the result of attacks that were not targeted at all. In other words,   <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SpellingErrorV2Themed SCXW265444951 BCX4\">the vast majority of attacks<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW265444951 BCX4\"> are spray-and-pray. In a scattergun approach, cybercriminals launch a general attack attempt without a specific target. Then they simply wait to see which companies or organizations, for example, are successful with the mail containing the phishing link.  Unfortunately, for many companies, the hurdle for an initial compromise of their IT is not high enough to withstand these attacks in the long run. This plays into the attackers&#8217; hands. Especially if they have primarily financial interests and want to blackmail the company, for example, by encrypting it via crypto-Trojan or ransomware. In such cases,<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SpellingErrorV2Themed SCXW265444951 BCX4\">the vast majority of attacks<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW265444951 BCX4\">is most effective for cyber criminals.

In such cases, zero-day attacks are also used more frequently, which exploit vulnerabilities in software that are not yet publicly known. With a zero-day exploit, attackers play a wild card, so to speak. Because when the new attack method becomes public through its use, this attack vector is ultimately burned because software vendors then roll out appropriate security updates.  <\/span><\/span><span class=\"EOP SCXW55796000 BCX4\" style=\"font-style: inherit; color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Source Sans Pro, Arial, sans-serif;\" data-ccp-props=\"{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}\"> <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55e2995 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget-tablet__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"55e2995\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Assumption 2: Attacks from the supply chain do not play a major role. <\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-74801fb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"74801fb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"caret-color: #000000; color: #000000; font-style: normal;\"><span class=\"TextRun SCXW39434257 BCX4\" lang=\"DE-DE\" xml:lang=\"DE-DE\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW39434257 BCX4\">In fact, supply chain attacks are on the rise. In this class of cyberattacks, software solutions, devices, or machines that are supplied to a company and that it uses to conduct its business act as the attack vectors. Thus, it was a question of  <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW39434257 BCX4\">Log4j vulnerability disclosed in December 2021 to a zero-day vulnerability in a Java logging library. Log4j is used to collect and save logging information<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SpellingErrorV2Themed SCXW39434257 BCX4\">from software, applications<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW39434257 BCX4\"> and hardware appliances. However, because Log4j is sometimes deeply embedded in many different solutions, in thousands of instances, a simple vulnerability scan is hardly sufficient to identify all vulnerable instances here.<\/span><\/span><span class=\"EOP SCXW39434257 BCX4\" data-ccp-props=\"{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}\"> <\/span><\/p><p style=\"caret-color: #000000; color: #000000; font-style: normal;\"><span class=\"TextRun SCXW35284553 BCX4\" lang=\"DE-DE\" xml:lang=\"DE-DE\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW35284553 BCX4\">In general, even open source software is not immune to security vulnerabilities. For example, a professor at the University of Minnesota managed to introduce vulnerabilities into the Linux kernel in the context of a study. For this scenario, <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun ContextualSpellingAndGrammarErrorV2Themed SCXW35284553 BCX4\">he and one of his students pretended<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW35284553 BCX4\"> to provide bug fixes for the Linux community. The aim of the controversial action was to demonstrate how vulnerable even open source projects can be. A security vulnerability in the Linux kernel is potentially so serious because Linux is very widely used. Today, it can be found in servers and smartphones and also in a wide variety of embedded devices &#8211; from cars to smart homes to machines.  <\/span><\/span><span class=\"EOP SCXW35284553 BCX4\" data-ccp-props=\"{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}\"> <\/span><\/p><p style=\"caret-color: #000000; color: #000000; font-style: normal;\"><span class=\"TextRun SCXW110363500 BCX4\" lang=\"DE-DE\" xml:lang=\"DE-DE\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW110363500 BCX4\">With the increasing digitalization of our economy and our lives, networked devices can also become a gateway for cybercriminals. For example, a supermarket chain was hacked by the attackers choosing the smart refrigerated shelves in the stores as an attack vector. The same risk exists for networked devices in the smart home sector. They also represent potential points of attack &#8211; a serious reputational risk for the device manufacturer or distributor. In both private <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun ContextualSpellingAndGrammarErrorV2Themed SCXW110363500 BCX4\">and commercial environments,<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW110363500 BCX4\"> a much more conscious approach to installed software and purchased equipment is therefore required. In the manufacturing industry, for example where a machine can have a life cycle of several decades, <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SpellingErrorV2Themed SCXW110363500 BCX4\">sooner or later there are usually only<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW110363500 BCX4\"> mitigating measures available to reduce safety risks. As manufacturers then no longer exist, or they no longer supply security patches after a few years. Sometimes the only option is to isolate the machine from the rest of the network and accept the residual risk. As a general rule, it would be negligent for a company to shift all responsibility for its cybersecurity to the supplier. Threats from within the supply chain are real and commonplace today. Companies therefore not only need appropriate risk awareness but also experts to help them develop an effective <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW110363500 BCX4\">Establish<\/span> <span class=\"NormalTextRun SpellingErrorV2Themed SCXW110363500 BCX4\">cyber resilience<\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ab2d94b elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget-tablet__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ab2d94b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Assumption 3: Our employees already have sufficient awareness of cyber security. <\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bf340c8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bf340c8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span class=\"TextRun SCXW166677630 BCX4\" lang=\"DE-DE\" xml:lang=\"DE-DE\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW166677630 BCX4\">All too often, employees&#8217; careless behavior still provides cybercriminals with a convenient gateway into the company. Creating and maintaining appropriate risk awareness among employees is a building block for cybersecurity, the importance of which a company should never underestimate. Only if they are aware of the danger will employees consistently avoid, for example, passing on passwords over the phone or carelessly<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW166677630 BCX4\">clicking on a dubious link in an e-mail. Sometimes the potential for danger is also a direct consequence of daily work. Employees in the human resources department, for example, open applications almost daily <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun ContextualSpellingAndGrammarErrorV2Themed SCXW166677630 BCX4\">without knowing<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW166677630 BCX4\"> whether or not the digital resume contains malicious code.

As this creates a supposed feeling of security. A typical example is the exclusion of certain systems, such as those that are at the end of their life cycle because they will soon be shut down or replaced anyway. However, as long as they have not yet been shut down, it is precisely these legacy systems that often offer the most tempting attack vector. Another example: On the server which runs a web application to be chcked also hosts a FTB service which could result in a complete compromise &#8211; but all services except the web application are excluded from testing. Similarly, it happens that, for example, a financial institution chooses the scope of its audit only as large as is required by regulation and officially required. Again, the result would be a deceptive false sense of security.<\/span><\/span><span class=\"EOP SCXW265269406 BCX4\" data-ccp-props=\"{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}\"> <\/span><\/p><p><span class=\"TextRun SCXW2406146 BCX4\" lang=\"DE-DE\" xml:lang=\"DE-DE\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SpellingErrorV2Themed SCXW2406146 BCX4\">If pentests<\/span> <span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW2406146 BCX4\">are to be truly meaningful,<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW2406146 BCX4\"> they must not be directed at just one section of the company&#8217;s IT.

After all, IT administrators have one thing above all else to do: they have to ensure that the systems in the company run reliably. As a rule, the administration team is already working at 100, if not 120 percent, capacity with its operational tasks. In addition, penetration tests require highly specialized and cutting-edge expertise that the company&#8217;s own IT department usually does not have at its disposal. It is important that management understands that a  <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SpellingErrorV2Themed SCXW24987815 BCX4\">pentest<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW24987815 BCX4\">  is not something that can simply be done on the side.

Today it is no longer, not in every case. It is important to keep in mind that the quality of malware has increased significantly. Crypto-Trojans that encrypt corporate data for extortion purposes no longer do so immediately. There is now ransomware that first nests in a company&#8217;s backups and gradually destroys them. Only months later, once the backup has become unusable, the crypto-trojan beings encrypting the company&#8217;s data &#8211; and the actual blackmail begins.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}\"> <\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">That&#8217;s why today it&#8217;s important to firstly secure backups against malware with suitable protection concepts and secondly to check them regularly. Only a backup that can actually be set up can be relied on in an emergency. Companies should therefore regularly test, practice and try out their disaster recovery. And if a company encrypts its backup for security reasons: This backup key itself is also a potential point of attack because cybercriminals can of course also encrypt the company&#8217;s backup key. The backup would then again be unusable, and the blackmail attempt by encrypting the company&#8217;s data could begin. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s important for organizations to keep their backup crypto keys offline and also document their disaster recovery training offline.  <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}\"> <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9d9447b elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"9d9447b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-41897db elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget-tablet__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"41897db\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Conclusion  <\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fa56c63 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fa56c63\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span class=\"TextRun SCXW112003126 BCX4\" lang=\"DE-DE\" xml:lang=\"DE-DE\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW112003126 BCX4\">The threat of cyberattacks has not diminished; on the contrary.
