Spyware is a growing threat, and even companies like Google are raising alarms about the “real-world harm” it can cause.
But what exactly is spyware, and how can you protect your business from it?
Simply put, spyware is a type of malicious software that installs itself secretly on your device. It then gathers sensitive information like passwords and bank details – and it could even grab data from your camera and microphone too.
Spyware is sneaky, because it’s easy to end up with but hard to detect. Sometimes, you don’t even need to click a link to put yourself at risk.
Spyware like Pegasus and Predator can target anyone, including small businesses. It’s important to be aware of the risks and take action to safeguard your devices.
Keep your systems updated and make sure you use the latest security software. Don’t click suspicious links or download files that you don’t 100% trust.
While security software does help, it can't catch everything. Make sure your whole team is aware of the risks, knows how to stay protected, and receives regular security awareness training.
If you notice your device acting strangely or becoming unusually slow, it’s worth taking a closer look. My team can help you with this, get in touch.
