Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Businesses are concerned about the rising digital attacks on the back of increased digitalisation prompted by the covid-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

The concerns have built over the half year period that ended in June this year.<\/p>\n

A report by cybersecurity provider Trend Micro notes that over 73 per cent of Information Technology (IT) managers in different business sectors are worried about the growing digital attack space globally.<\/p>\n

\u201cCovid-19 pandemic forced greater adoption of digital functions which have since occasioned continued growth in threat detections in the digital sphere,\u201d the report says.<\/p>\n

The attacking digital space is spiralling out of control and is constantly evolving. A concern that calls for the need to improve investment and understanding of the cyber-attack landscape, the report reads in part.<\/p>\n

The number of threats detected and blocked globally as of June this year was at 63.7 billion largely driven by Uniform Resource Locator (URL) reputation queries which recorded a total of 1.8 trillion.<\/p>\n

This is an increase compared to the same period last year when it recorded 1.6 trillion queries.<\/p>\n

In Kenya however, according to TransUnion’s 2022 second quarter fraud analysis report, the rate of suspected digital fraud attempts declined across half of the industries tracked.<\/p>\n

The rate of suspected digital fraud across all industries decreased by almost 27 per cent.<\/p>\n

TransUnion observed that the largest declines was from country-based transactions in communities, which include online forums and dating, telecommunications and insurance.<\/p>\n

At the end of the quarter, their threat rates stood at 70 per cent, 42 per and 20 per cent respectively.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe industry that saw the biggest increase in the rate of suspected digital fraud attempts was the logistics, which increased by 61 per cent,\u201d TransUnion says.<\/p>\n

Cloud computing was noted to be among the most targeted spaces in Africa despite the spaces’ continued growth.<\/p>\n

Top of the list is cloud tunnelling and containers. Cloud tunnelling allows users to swiftly deploy assets and services and can also prevent full visibility of the deployed assets.<\/p>\n

Trend Micro narrates that attackers are taking advantage of this by launching attacks in unconventional places where IT teams tend not to be vigilant.<\/p>\n

Although most detections and attacks are still aimed overseas, Trend Micro insists on African countries to invest in improved security measures.<\/p>\n

The cybersecurity provider reiterates that the critical part of the investment should be focused on resolving the skills shortage.<\/p>\n
