What are the common challenges in the cyber security space?
The biggest threats in cyber security are from deep fake videos and replay attacks. These type of attacks are easy to create at scale and difficult to detect by even some of the most sophisticated systems. iProov’s genuine presence assurance can reliably detect and stop both of these as well as all known attack vectors.
What are the biggest mistakes a company can make regarding security?
Security is an arms race. A company cannot be complacent and claim that their solution will never be compromised. Attacks and attackers are getting more and more sophisticated, and security vendors need to be able to respond to these quickly and effectively.
Provide your best practice advice/top tip for effective cyber security?
Continuously monitor activity to detect threats in near real time and prepare to respond rapidly. Do not rely on fixed, unmonitored processes.
