Cybersecurity in simple terms: Awareness-raising event for SMEs

16.05.2024 - For many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), cyberattacks are still an abstract, intangible threat. Although awareness of cyberthreats has increased, there is still a large gap between knowledge and action. To help SMEs get to grips with cybersecurity, the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) and the ITSec4KMU association are organising a free awareness-raising event for SMEs in Bern on 11 June.

Week 19: Smartphone – an Achilles' heel: How cybercriminals undermine two-factor authentication

14.05.2024 - Access to many applications on the internet is now protected by two-factor authentication. Smartphones are playing an increasingly important role as a second security factor when logging into online applications. Cybercriminals therefore try to gain access to these devices in order to obtain the login data. A case reported to the NCSC last week shows that entering a password in a phishing attack on an apparently non-critical internet service may nonetheless have serious consequences. It may also undermine the two-factor authentication process.
