infrastructures. Investing in security policies and measures isn’t enough anymore. Last month's cyberattack graph indicates that ransomware attacks are a major concern and will only continue to spike if concrete steps are not taken. Organizations must invest in cybersecurity infrastructures and upskill their staff to combat these risks. EC-Council's mission is to arm employees with the tools and information they need to defend against cyberattacks. Our monthly newsletter is just one small step in educating our staff about the most recent concerns and raising their level of cyber awareness.

With an increasing dependence on IoT (Internet of Things) technology, organizations are rapidly adopting IoT devices and cloud services to keep up with digital transformations. However, cybercriminals continually find open gateways to exploit unpatched vulnerabilities and attack vectors. Ransomware and phishing attacks continue to dominate security, leading to massive data breaches. 2022 has seen organizations grapple with intrusions, cryptocurrency breaches, massive data thefts in finance platform and health care sectors, and ransomware. These types of threats have stemmed from pandemic-induced remote work and economic instability, political unrest, state-backed attacks, and more. The threat landscape is constantly expanding as organizations and governments grapple with security risks. These rising cyberthreats have pushed enterprises to invest in security infrastructure, resources, and upskilling their employees, but we have a long way to go to achieve a safe and secure cyber landscape. The July 2022 Cyber Brief from EC-Council offers industry professionals fresh insights, enriching webinars from industry leaders, exclusive success stories from our certification alumni, and the latest industry updates and resources. We hope you find these resources informative and valuable.
