JAKARTA - Cyberattacks pose a real threat to companies and organizations worldwide. Cyberattacks can damage reputations, cause financial losses, and even threaten national security.

Therefore, it is important to understand what cybersecurity is and how businesses can protect themselves from online attacks. According to a recent study, the cost of cybercrime is estimated to reach $10.5 trillion USD by 2025.

Cybersecurity is the practice or action of protecting systems, networks, devices, and data from unauthorized access or attacks. Cyberattacks can come from various sources, such as hackers, malware, and phishing, and can cause serious damage if not addressed quickly and effectively. Bruce added that there are several ways to enhance your cybersecurity and prevent online attacks, such as:

  1. Use reliable security software and keep it updated. Ensure that your antivirus and firewall software are always updated to protect your system from cyberattacks.
  2. Use strong and unique passwords for each account. Avoid using easily guessable passwords like birthdates or pet names. Instead, use a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols to create stronger and more difficult-to-guess passwords.
  3. Don't click on suspicious links or attachments. Avoid opening emails from unknown or suspicious sources. Do not click on suspicious links or attachments that may come from untrusted sources.
  4. Protect your personal information. Avoid providing personal information such as credit card numbers, bank account numbers, or social security numbers via email or unsecured websites.
  5. Learn about cyberattacks and how to counter them. Educate yourself about common cyberattacks such as phishing, malware, and ransomware. Learn how to identify cyberattacks and how to respond to them.

With the increasing complexity of cyberattacks and evolving threats, it is crucial for every company to ensure their cybersecurity.
