Women in Technology Leadership Latest IT news In mid-March of last year, the World Health Organization officially declared the world was facing a pandemic, and countries rushed to enact measures to stem the spread. A popular measure to combat the pandemic was switching companies to remote work. However, with little time to make the transition, many companies had no time to enact proper security measures, leaving them vulnerable to a number of new security risks. One of the most common were attacks against the protocols used by employees to access corporate resources remotely. RDP is perhaps the most popular remote desktop protocol and is used to access Windows or servers. After the switch to remote work, bruteforce attacks against this protocol skyrocketed. In a bruteforce attack, attackers test different usernames and passwords until the correct combination is found-and they gain access to the corporate resources. Over the past year, while the total number of bruteforce attacks has ebbed and flowed, they have continued to increase when compared to pre-pandemic levels. Visit on varindia official site https://www.varindia.com/ to know more. According to Kaspersky’s telemetry, when the world went into lockdown in March 2020, the total number of bruteforce attacks against RDP jumped from 93.1 million worldwide in February 2020 to 277.4 million 2020 in March—a 197 percent increase. The numbers in India went from 1.3 million (1363953) in Feb 2020 to 3.3 million (3301848) in March 2020. From April 2020 onward, monthly attacks never dipped below 300 million, and they reached a new high of 409 million attacks worldwide in November 2020. The highest number of attacks 4.5 million (4586533) in India was recorded in July 2020. In February 2021—nearly one year from the start of the pandemic—there were 377.5 million brute-force attacks—a far cry from the 93.1 million witnessed at the beginning of 2020. India alone witnessed 9.04 million (9048791) attacks in Feb 2021.
The total number of attacks in India from Feb-Dec 2020 was around 37 million (37664893), while the total number of attacks recorded in India during Jan & Feb 2021 are around 15 million (15804209).

Cybersecurity investment grows in
2020, but organizations face record
data breaches
By VARINDIA - 2021-03-29
“Prioritize cybersecurity and invest in broadening protection, detection and response measures or
face disaster,” is the message from Canalys Chief Analyst Matthew Ball. According to the latest
analysis from Canalys this is the stark reality facing organizations in 2021. For many, it is too
late.

organizations had

measures quickly in
response to the COVID-19 pandemic or face ruin. This was often at the expense of cybersecurity
and bypassed longstanding corporate policies, leaving many exposed to exploitation by highly
organized and sophisticated threat actors, as well as other more opportunistic hackers.
In a new two-part special report ‘Now and Next for the cybersecurity industry’ Canalys notes that
Cybersecurity investment outperformed other segments of the IT industry in 2020, growing 10% to
US$53 billion. However, business continuity and workforce productivity took precedence over
security during the pandemic. According to Canalys estimates, cloud infrastructure services grew
33% in 2020 to US$142 billion, representing an increase of US$45 billion in annual spend against
2019. Cloud software services increased more than 20% during the same period. Zoom’s reported
revenue jumped over 300%, while Microsoft Office 365 and Salesforce maintained strong double-
digit growth. Notebook PC shipments also had a record year, surging 17%, and are forecast to

3. grow further in 2021. Logitech’s webcam business also hit a record high, increasing 138% on a
trailing four-quarter basis. And sales growth of home Wi-Fi routers exceeded 40%, as remote
workers looked to improve their connectivity, while home printers and ink sold out.
“Cybersecurity must be front and center of digital plans, otherwise there will be a mass extinction
of organizations, which will threaten the post-COVID-19 economic recovery,” said Ball. “A lapse in
focus on cybersecurity is already having major repercussions, resulting in the escalation of the
current data breach crisis and acceleration of ransomware attacks.”
