Cybersecurity will be one of the most important challenges of 2019

2018 was marked by an endless number of cyber attacks whose main objective was the cryptocurrency wallet, a trend that was repeated a lot during the 365 days of last year.

On the other hand, there were also attacks by hackers on States and government agencies. These events unleash a “cyberwar”, which will face its most important challenges in this 2019 that could be marked by more hits towards digital currencies.

Attacks will be more constant this year

One of the main aspects that companies, States and financial entities should keep in mind is that by 2019 the cyber attacks will be much more constant. Hackers have been able to advance so much, to the point of developing malware that are increasingly difficult to counteract.

One of the most important shortcomings is the lack of protection that the organizers have, in relation to the security of mobile devices considered as the most important targets due to the combination of methods and techniques that are now applied to promote the blows.

Massive use of the cloud will increase its vulnerability

With the passing of time, the users of the network have frequented more the use of the cloud for the storage of information, and even of their digital assets. This has caused the online tool to be increasingly vulnerable to hacking attacks.

The conglomerate that has this tool for the storage of sensitive and important information should rethink the security mechanisms to be able to continue with the trust of its clients.

One of the recommendations that always exist in these cases is the use of the two-step verification process combined with sufficiently secure passwords.

Cryptojacking, the ransomware that has become the enemy of all

What was most seen during the past year was the phenomenon of cryptojacking, a ransomware that has become the most common method for criminals to illegally make funds a little easier.

The attack process consists in the installation of a device that, without the authorization or knowledge of the user, is done with the control of the equipment to carry out the theft of the cryptocurrencies.

This tendency caused many headaches and inconveniences both to people and companies, who on more than one occasion took an unpleasant surprise when consulting the status of their wallets.

New data protection regulation begins

Something that will surely cause a lot of peace, despite the fact that there are still six months left, will be the entry into force of the General Data Protection Regulation, which is promoted by the Council of the European Union and the European Parliament with 93% of the votes in favor by the members.

This law of mandatory compliance comes to protect the rights to privacy of information for users of the European continent. It is expected that, thanks to its use, new security mechanisms and protocols will be developed for vitally important information stored on the web.

Cybersecurity must continue to improve in tandem with advances

Taking into account the foregoing, it is important to keep in mind that cybersecurity must become a topic of great care and be easily accessible and knowledgeable for those who wish to be part of the digital evolution, because its misuse will only generate serious consequences both personal and collective.

The investments of companies and organizations should focus on the development of new online security protocols, mainly thinking about the need to protect the integrity and availability of computer systems and data.

It is also important to deal with this one step ahead of organized crime, we must try to prevent any step they may take. Every day new ways of perpetrating a robbery are created so users will always feel vulnerable, until the necessary actions are taken

This year, the world of cryptoactives will be surrounded by multiple challenges that will undoubtedly mark a before and after for the Fintech world. There are many uncertainties regarding the recovery of the confidence of the main cryptocurrencies, as well as the final acceptance that they need so much to be able to take off as far as has been predicted for some time.
