Disinformation as a Growing Cyber Threat
In an era where information freely and instantly circulates around the globe, the threat landscape has expanded beyond traditional cyber attacks. One of the most insidious threats we face today is disinformation. Disinformation does not directly damage systems or steal data, but it undermines trust, sows discord, and can even disrupt entire societies. Disinformation refers […]
Pervasive Threats: Phishing and Social Engineering
Phishing, by definition, involves sending fraudulent communications, most commonly emails,that appear to come from a known, trusted source. The goal is to steal sensitive data likepasswords, credit card numbers, or other personal information. Phishing emails often lookconvincing, fully replicating the typical appearance of a company’s email and usually includeurgent calls to action, such as clicking […]
AI hallucinations
By the term AI hallucination we mean the phenomenon that occurs when AI finds patterns that do not exist, thus creating answers that are incorrect or completely fabricated. This occurs when the algorithm does not generate answers based on the data it has, when incorrectly interpreting or not interpreting the corresponding pattern at all. To […]
The Use of AI and ML as Transformative Technologies in Cybersecurity
Traditional, common security measures may no longer be sufficient to protect information and systems in an era where threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Technologies that not only enhance security mechanisms but also predict threats and ensure effective and swift responses have thus become indispensable in the field of cybersecurity. In this context, the powerful duo […]
What are man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks? Significance, trends, and how to protect yourself
Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attacks represent a serious threat in the world of cyber security. In these attacks, an attacker inserts themselves between two parties who are communicating, intercepting and potentially altering the information exchanged without the knowledge of the legitimate users. This can include accessing sensitive data such as passwords, credit card numbers, and trade secrets. […]
How Digital Skills Protect Our Cyber World
In a world where digital technology permeates every aspect of our lives, the ability to use this technology efficiently and securely becomes crucial. With over 4.66 billion active internet users worldwide, the importance of digital skills cannot be overstated. However, statistical data show that a large number of people still lack the basic digital skills […]
Advantages and Disadvantages of Using Artificial Intelligence in the Field of Cybersecurity
When discussing cybersecurity, we cannot overlook the increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) in this field. Simple algorithms cannot detect the more advanced forms of cyber attacks, and the implementation of artificial intelligence is becoming a crucial link in defense. One of the main benefits is AI’s ability to process large amounts of data in […]
The Role of Media Literacy in Strengthening Cybersecurity
One of the key components of cybersecurity in the modern digital age is media literacy, which, among other things, involves the ability to analyse, evaluate, and create information. Understanding how media function and the ability to critically approach information can significantly reduce the risk of cyber attacks, misinformation, and other forms of digital threats. Recognising […]
The Importance of Cybersecurity in Healthcare: The First Human Victim of a Cyber Attack
Digitalization, IT support for healthcare services, and the implementation of the latest technological solutions from various scientific disciplines in medicine bring many advantages, including faster access to medical data, more efficient diagnosis and treatment, and the creation of conditions for personalized healthcare services and therapies. However, these advantages come with increased vulnerability to cyber attacks. […]
