IFGICT is in talks with HP to collaborate with them in order to empower the cybersecurity standards. This will not only be helpful for organizations but for both IFGICT & HP too as they’ll be able to manage records of so many different companies. The reason for this collaboration is that companies don’t take into account the possible security threats as a result of which they become a victim of hacking attacks. The collaboration between IFGICT and HP will empower the cybersecurity standards to let the companies get rid of cyber-attacks.
Cybersecurity standards are the key to store important data of different organizations and each of them must be aware of these standards in order for their own selves to keep working smoothly. Nowadays, hackers are quite active and you might get to know every day that an organization’s website got attacked which ultimately caused them to lose all their data. For this reason, IFGICT, which is the perfect cybersecurity standard has collaborated with HP company to get rid of any such issue.
Take a look at how this collaboration will help the organizations and why HP is chosen for this purpose.
What are the possible cybersecurity threats to different organizations?
HP is considered to be the best company among those which are working hard to ensure the safety of organizations’ data. Apart from that, they are also famous for making good quality laptops and other such devices. One of the reports recently released by HP Cybersecurity Threat Report Committee has revealed that cybercrime activities have increased to a large extent in past few years, the reason being less attention paid to the standards by companies. The researchers have also found a number of hacking tools circulating around which were in use of hackers.
Some notable threats revealed by the committee include:
- Cyber criminals’ collaboration for bigger attacks
- Delivery of Nastier Malware by Information Stealers
- VBS Downloader to target Businesspersons
- Spam campaign to target shipping and other such companies
These security threats are surely not so desirable and organizations must be aware of all these to ensure that they do not face any malware attack. Cybersecurity standards have utmost importance in this regard.
How will IFGICT’s Collaboration with HP benefit the Organizations?
IFGICT as featured in Time Business News is currently responsible to keep the organizations’ data safe from all the hacking attacks and it lets them know about the hacking tools used by hackers and how they can avoid these attacks. Since HP has been a wonderful choice in this regard, IFGICT has collaborated with HP Cybersecurity Threat Report Committee to empower the standards as a result of which most organizations will benefit.
Dr Kayyali Mohamed, the President of IFGICT seems to be happy with this collaboration. According to him, all the organizations which were not aware of the security risks associated with their websites or those which have been attacked by hackers in the past. “The collaboration of IFGICT with HP Cybersecurity Threat Report Committee will also enhance and empower the cybersecurity standards”, said Dr Kayyali. All in all, both IFGICT and HP will surely help the companies secure their data in the long run.
Conclusion
There are so many organizations nationally and internationally who are not aware of hacking tools and attacks and they get to know about these when they become a victim. Cybersecurity standards offered by IFGICT will not only help them know about these attacks but they can also make sure that everything associated with the organization is safe and sound. IFGICT’s collaboration with HP Cybersecurity Threat Report Committee will also add fuel to fire for hackers apart from empowering the security standards.
During the start of the current year, IFGICT (International Federation of Global Information Communication Technology), the world’s largest ICT Federation published a chart depicting the technology expansion from the Transistor era of 1970 till today while also predicting the expansion in the future.
This chart has urged many to believe that mankind is rapidly moving towards a dangerous era of Quantum Technology. The speed of expansion is exceeding projections and has raised awareness among many including the decision-makers.
The technological expansion started with 3.5% in 1970 with semiconductors and transistors and in 1990 it reached 5% achieving the micro-technology era. The acceleration went berserk with the new century and by 2010 expansion exceeded 5% with the inception of nanotechnology.
The chart predicts that with the current speed the technology expansion will reach 12.5% by 2030 due to the continuous process of innovation and expansion with every new day bringing new advanced technology.
The prediction also shows that by 2050 the expansion will reach 33.5% with Quantum Technology and 55% by 2055. The journey that started with micro-technology will in 8 years reach the Quantum Technology and once there it will be out of control. We still do not have even a name for a phase that will start after 2055 we may reach the next 20% in 10 years and in 20 years after 2055, we may reach 100% of the technology as the acceleration will continue to increase.
While this may sound exciting at the same time, it is also very terrifying. With the rapid expansion of technology challenges for mankind are also increasing and some of them are still hidden and we are not prepared enough to tackle them.
Most importantly challenges for human health are increasing the primary goal of technology expansion was to create ease for humankind and increase the life expectancy. In contrast, human health is facing new and innovative challenges with the most recent example of COVID-19 and the average life expectancy is also rapidly decreasing around the globe. Mankind has become too much dependent on technology and the rapid technological change is not entirely positive.
The acceleration of technology expansion is too fast and certain measures are needed to slow down this pace as mankind is not evolved enough to reach the Quantum Technology phase.
