22 Cybersecurity Tips for 2022

June 13, 2022

Many cyber-attacks involve ransomware, a form of malicious software or malware, designed to deny access to a computer system or data until a ransom is paid and a decryption key (commonly called a decryptor) is given to the victim. The encryption is virtually unbreakable without the decryption key, and you should not spend valuable time seeking a way around the encryption if you are attacked with it. Ransomware can spread in multiple ways, but most typically, through phishing emails or by unknowingly visiting an infected website. Ransomware can be catastrophic to healthcare and other organizations, preventing critical information and systems for patient care from being accessed, for example.

whitePaper | November 18, 2022

Bot-generated attacks have risen in visibility, and defending against these attacks is now a priority for most organizations. Yet challenges persist in accurately identifying bot traffic; protecting a distributed, heterogeneous application environment from these attacks; and minimizing the impact to legitimate users while doing so. To address these issues, intelligent protection against sophisticated bots is a necessity. This should include strong analytics coupled with human expertise, a frictionless user experience, and consistent coverage across different architectures and platforms. F5 Distributed Cloud Bot Defense, built on Google Cloud, supports these requirements and can help prevent fraud and abuse against public-facing web applications.
