Cybersecurity

1. USE OF CYBERSECURITY

2. Critical Infrastructures

3. • Critical infrastructure is very important to
society and maintaining the basic needs of
human life in modern times.
• Because of this, there is a need for critical
infrastructure cybersecurity to protect it from
threat actors — both foreign and domestic.
• Some of the keys to a successful cybersecurity
setup are to not settle for limited OT security,
approach protection from an OT state of mind,
strive for IT/OT convergence, and think global
and act local.

4. Critical infrastructure is those physical and
digital systems that provide the essential
services for a country’s economy, therefore
the disruption of these systems would
create significant economic or public health
and safety risk. Critical infrastructure
cybersecurity includes the protection of
those digital systems from potential cyber-
related attacks.

5. In 2016, an Iranian nation-state committed a cyber-
attack against the United States at the Rye Brook Dam in
New York. The hackers accessed industrial control systems
within the dam but were fortunately unable to release the
water behind the dam due to scheduled maintenance.
However, this could have been a disaster waiting to happen
with just a few clicks.

6. Electronic Government
(Banking and Finance)

8. Know the Different Types of Cyber
Threats in the Banking and Finance Sector

9. HEALTHCARE MANAGEMENT
•Cybersecurity in healthcare involves the
protecting of electronic information and
assets from unauthorized access, use and
disclosure. There are three goals of
cybersecurity: protecting
the confidentiality, integrity and availabilit
y of information, also known as the “CIA
triad.”

10. TRANSPORTATION
According to Cybertalk.org, between June of 2020 and June of 2021,
the transportation industry witnessed a 186 percent increase in
weekly ransomware attacks. The number of ransomware attacks is
increasing across all sectors, but transportation entities are seemingly
bearing the brunt of this trend. Because transportation companies
have not historically deployed large security teams to protect their
digital assets, they are more acutely affected by the global
cybersecurity skills gap than other businesses.

11. National ID System
• The government assured the adoption of cybersecurity measures in
the implementation of the Philippine Identification System (PhilSys)
or the national ID system.
• “Hybrid Cloud Solution“- The systems integrator is the core software
and information technology (IT) infrastructure of the PhilSys.

12. Education

15. Remote working has become commonplace for
organizations of all sizes and shapes since the
beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. This
change has created significant work from home
cybersecurity risks. As such, organizations and
employees must understand essential security
tips to successfully adapt to this way of working
and minimize the security risks associated with
remote working.
Work From Home

16. INTERPOL, in its assessment of COVID-19’s impact
on cyber crime, found a significant increase in the
number of critical infrastructure, governments, and
large organizations targeted by hackers. Between
January and April 2020, it detected 48,000
malicious Uniform Resource Locators (URLs),
907,000 spam messages, and 737 malware incidents
related to COVID.

17. Top technologies that improve
organization's cybersecurity in
the COVID Era

18. IDENTITY MANAGEMENT AND AUTHENTICATION
•These tools use various authentication
methods, such as one-time passwords
(OTPs), which verify a user’s identity and
ensure a hacker cannot access an online
account even if they manage to steal the
password

19. ENDPOINT SECURITY SOLUTION
Endpoint security solutions protect every endpoint connected to an
organization’s IT infrastructure. Actions they perform include:
• Providing organizations with enhanced visibility of all the devices
across their networks
• Enabling advanced protection and dynamic access control
• Detecting and blocking security threats in real time
• Automating and orchestrating timely responses
• Supporting security incident investigation and management

20. ZERO-TRUST NETWORK ACCESS (ZTNA)
As the hybrid workforce continues to work from
anywhere, the continuous verification of all users
and devices as they access corporate applications
and data is required. Zero Trust Network
Access (ZTNA) protects networks and applications,
network administrators by implementing a zero-trust
access.

21. DATA LOSS PREVENTION
As the hybrid workforce continues to work from
anywhere, the continuous verification of all users
and devices as they access corporate applications
and data is required. Zero Trust Network
Access (ZTNA) protects networks and applications,
network administrators by implementing a zero-trust
access.

22. USER BEHAVIORAL ANALYTICS (UBA)
With employees working from disparate locations, it is
more important than ever for organizations to understand
what they are doing. User behavior analytics (UBA) allows
businesses to keep tabs on the applications users launch,
their network activity, the files they access, and the emails
they have sent. UBA also analyzes how frequently users
carry out specific tasks and searches for usage patterns
that can indicate suspicious or malicious behavior.

23. SECURITY INFORMATION AND EVENT
MANAGEMENT (SIEM)
• SIEM helps organizations mitigate the ever-
increasing volume of threats they face daily. The
technology allows businesses to keep pace with
the growing deluge of malicious activity, as well as
triage and investigate alerts relating to suspicious
behavior. SIEM solutions analyze security events
to enable rapid threat detection and response.

24. ENCRYPTION
Encryption secures data on corporate networks and
communications between remote-based employees. It
transforms data into a ciphertext that can only be read or
deciphered by the sender and their intended recipient.
This ensures that a cyber-criminal cannot read the original
data, even if they manage to intercept it. Encryption also
helps organizations ensure data authentication and
integrity as it can prove that data has not been altered
from its original state.
