WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED FROM CYBER SECURITY IN THE PAST 20 YEARS?

Twenty years is a long time in cyber security. From mild inconveniences to nationwide attacks, hackers have developed their methods to procure more and more sensitive information. In the early 2000s, malware ruled the roost. 2008 was one of the biggest developments as the Zeus Trojan took aim at bank details, before attacking large corporations some five years later. Today, we’re seeing some of the biggest data breaches in history such as Collection 1, while smart technology is vulnerable to hacking. We know now that perimeter defence and multi-factor authentication are imperative to stay safe.
