Cyber attacks, one of the gravest dangers in today’s time, has been exponentially growing even after the fact that cyber security professionals are working tirelessly towards maintaining the quality of the protection policies like general data protection regulation. Cyber attacks have been persistent for the past years; because of the sleep everyone in the Global market is neglecting an important fact, that is, the exposure of the common public to some of the heinous attacks in the history of the corporate world. Be it any industry in the Global market, the most exposed to a particular network breach, is the customer base of the victim organisation. And to support the fact, we can take the help of the recently published articles that showcase the vulnerability of all the organisations across all the industries. But one thing that we won’t get in those articles is the fact that something is wrong from the internal perspective of all the companies out there. When we say internal perspective, it is the negligence extended by established conglomerates and the small organisations as well. It’s not like the cyber attacks are targeting the small scale organisations and are pardoning the medium and large scale organisations. The cyber criminals out there are targeting all the organisations equally. But it’s not like cyber security consultancy services in London is the only reason behind the lack of security reforms in organisations in the United Kingdom. In other words, it’s not like the professionals are entirely responsible for the downfall of the corporate world in front of these network breaches. It is the fault of established companies like Google itself that has made all the companies vulnerable to a specific point.
HOW IS GOOGLE AT FAULT HERE?
It might be a repetitive discussion, but if this analogy leads some of the individuals in the world, to question the current monopoly held by Google, it is worth the length. On that note, the recently charged fines on the firm, including the lawsuit filed by the European Union, can be seen as the primary reason why a technological giant like Google should not be trusted with the data of such a vast user base.
In 2018, the chief executive officer of Google Inc was summoned by the Congress in order to answer serious allegations regarding biasness, privacy, and data collection. This particular session unveiled some of the biggest truths about the company, including the fact that Google has complete access to all the searches conducted on the default window. And if any individual is allowing the Google browser to have access to their location, Google can track the location of that particular individual or the group of individuals on a daily basis.
We understand that an established and well reputed company like Google will not misuse the data deposited in the database. But we also agree with the fact that even Google is not entirely sure about the security policies of its own business. In other words, we can say that any group of cyber attackers or a particular cybercriminal can access the database of the tech giant, if they try harder. And once they get the full control of this data, we can use it in any possible way.
ARE PROFESSIONALS THE ONES TO BLAME?
So now that we know it is because of the negligence by influential firms like Google, that these cybercriminals are growing stronger day by day, can we blame the cyber security consultants around the world?
Of course not because even after rigorous efforts, the professionals are helpless if the companies that they are serving, are at a perpetual threat by an organisation that serves as the benchmark of cyber security in its own right. With that being said, it’s not only about Google.
If we take a closer look, we will understand that companies like Facebook are also active players in this Global fluke.
Therefore, it is entirely about the business model that glorifies the collection of data of all the customers around the world, in exchange of generating money out of it. Of course these companies don’t reveal the practices they perform, but a rational customer in today’s time, is educated enough to see through this deception. That’s why; cyber security consultancy services are at such an immense demand.
On a concluding note, if your organisation has decided to enter the competitive global market, the first thing that you should consider is to solidify the network infrastructure, so that you can save your company from such cyber-attacks. And to secure the future of your firm, even more, you can hire the best candidate out there. But the most important thing is to focus on your internal processes, because it is the only way to make sure that none of the outsiders are able to infiltrate through the network structure that you have built.
