As technology becomes more complex, easy to use, widely available, and affordable to purchase, human beings increasingly experience more convenient, safer, and all-around better lives. However, the risk of personal cybersecurity attacks – counting those targeted towards small businesses, multinational corporations, governments, and nonprofit organizations, to boot – increases. Let’s look into why’s and how’s of personal cybersecurity problems, as originally explained by the highly reputable Investing News Network.
Cyber attacks are certain to increase in value in coming years. INN, short for the Investing News Network, has calculated that cybercrimes’ dollar value has quadrupled – multiplied by four, that is – from 2013 to 2015. Their aggregate dollar value started this period worth slightly less than one-tenth of one trillion dollars, ending up as pricey as one-half of one trillion dollars. Or, from less than $100,000,000,000 to more than $500,000,000,000.
Further, its cost will likely boost to $6,000,000,000,000 as early as 2021.
Hillary Clinton’s email server hacking is an example of how severe cybercrime can be in today’s age. In response to this happening, Barack Obama proposed the United States’ cybersecurity budget should total $19,000,000,000.
Keeping up with such digital problems are so demanding that over one-fourth of the National Infrastructure Advisory Council quit their posts after the contemporary United States President Donald J. Trump penned an executive order that vowed to beef up the digital defense in the USA.
Rubica is a firm based in the United States that helps clients from around the world boost their personal cybersecurity. Their proprietary system of raising and maintaining clients’ levels of personal cybersecurity involves four steps: personal analysis, virtual private networks, human-assisted machine learning, and offering 24/7 concierge services.
Rather than relying solely on computerized software to detect anomalies in clients’ account and computer usage patterns, Rubica maintains a staff of employees working around the clock to analyze odd patterns in computer and Internet usage. If – in most cases, when is more appropriate – malware, hackers, or bots attempt to log on or gain access to clients’ accounts or computers, employees step in and cut off access to their computers and accounts until clients approve usage.
Next, clients have the option of accessing the Internet through virtual private networks – usually shortened to the initialism VPNs – so their cookies, location, and other private information aren’t shared with unauthorized parties. The utilization of VPNs comes at no additional cost to clients.
Thirdly, Rubica’s computer software becomes smarter through its responsive design, more so with the assistance of trained, experienced personal cyber security experts. Employees provide input to Rubica’s personal cyber security software, allowing it to become both more effective and efficient.
Finally, Rubica offers their personal cyber security clients around-the-clock concierge service, meaning clients can email, instant message, or call in to communicate with personal cyber security experts. They’ll answer clients’ questions about personal cyber security in general, ones pertaining specifically to their security situations, and those about Rubica’s policies, offerings, and history.
