Tech News Cyber Security
Critical infrastructure is at greater risk due to the interconnectivity of systems. Legacy systems are particularly vulnerable targets because they manage essential utilities such as electricity, natural gas, water, waste treatment, and transportation networks and because they were not originally designed with security in mind.
New security challenges are arising as the Internet of Things (IoT) expands. This encompassing everything from household appliances to security monitoring systems. Devices not intended to be connected to the internet are now online and potentially exposed to attacks. Without proactive testing, Microsoft networks are now more vulnerable than ever, providing hackers with new entry points for unauthorized access to home and business networks, compromising our privacy.
