It’s Cybersecurity Awareness Month! In honor of the theme — Do Your Part. #BeCyberSmart — we’re doing our part by educating organizations and IT teams on protecting themselves. Throughout October, the JumpCloud blog will focus on top cybersecurity issues, from IT admin best practices to CISO responsibilities. Tune back into the blog this month for new cybersecurity content or check out our archive of existing security articles for cybersecurity insights written specifically for the IT professional.
Imagine your boss calling your team saying their computer is locked and there’s a note on the screen demanding ransom to the tune of $5 million. Did your stomach just drop? Ours did.
Security incidents are an IT professional’s worst nightmare — and for good reason. They’re common, sophisticated, and can wreak havoc on a business.
As a security company, we wanted to understand which security incidents IT professionals fear most so we can advise them on building defenses that help them sleep at night. So we surveyed over 1,000 people who work in IT to hear their scariest IT security stories and learn how they’re equipping their stack and team, what concerns them most, how remote work affects their security approach, and more.
In this blog, we’ll cover the top three IT security scenarios respondents overwhelmingly ranked as the scariest. We’ll dive into why they’re so scary, what you can do to defend against them (spoiler alert: avoid dark basements and cornfields), and how businesses are pivoting in reaction to them.
