Companies related to finance, telecommunications, IT, transport, healthcare and retail remain at risk of cyber attacks, said the Director of the cybersecurity department of Security Vision company Nikolay Goncharov in an interview with RBC Company, noting the key role of these industries in the economy and their attractiveness to criminals due to the large volume of confidential information stored.
Nikolay noted the growing diversification of attacks, the use of a greater number of different methods and vectors. He also noted that small and medium-sized businesses, which are vulnerable links in the supply chains of large organizations, are increasingly becoming targets.
The expert said that the reason for the attacks' success was the lag of cybersecurity processes behind the pace of digitalization of socially significant industries. The introduction of new technologies, such as cloud services and AI-based solutions, often outpaces the creation of a reliable security system, which is what cybercriminals take advantage of.
