FBI Says Cybercrime Losses Exceeded $10 Billion in 2022

Cybercriminals are getting smarter, leading to several billions of dollars in losses. In 2022, the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) reported receiving more than 800,000 complaints about cybercrime, with losses exceeding $10 billion. Phishing, personal data breaches, non-payment/non-delivery scams, extortion, and tech support scams were the top five cyber crimes in 2022, however, business email compromise attacks still accounted for over 21,000 complaints and $2.7 billion in losses. This goes without saying that something has to be done to reduce losses related to cybercrime. President Joe Biden released a new National Cybersecurity Strategy at the beginning of this month. It shows what the government is doing to protect cyberspace and build a digital ecosystem that is easy to defend and safe for everyone. The government will need to work with companies offering cybersecurity solutions, such as HUB Cyber Security (NASDAQ:HUBC), CloudFlare Inc. (NYSE:NET), Varonis Systems (NASDAQ:VRNS), SentinelOne (NYSE:S), and Zscaler (NASDAQ:ZS), to win the fight against cybercrime.

Founded in 2017 by veterans of the Israeli Defense Forces’ 8200 and 81 special intelligence units, HUB Cyber Security (NASDAQ:HUBC) provides secure computing solutions that protect private information used by the government and business. By using a unique proprietary hardware-level approach to protecting sensitive and commercial data at every stage of the computing lifecycle, as well as offering a wide range of products and solutions, including innovative confidential computing devices, HUB is creating a fundamental shift in the cybersecurity market.

On March 9, HUB Cyber Security unveiled a fresh approach to cyber risk management for the insurance industry. The system makes it possible for reinsurers and insurance companies to assess, calculate, and underwrite cyber insurance policies. Users are provided access to a safe file vault, reducing the risk of an attack and the potential harm brought on by lost or corrupted data.

HUB claims that the technology offers three main layers of protection: it makes it much harder for malware to infect client systems; it quickly identifies and removes malware; and it quickly detects and removes malware that tries to steal sensitive data. In order to provide a low-cost, simple-to-deploy security bundle that includes HUB technology, HUB is working with Virtual I Technologies.

“The new Hub solution provides a twofold advantage: supplemental redundancy of data secured at its highest security level, by this making risk assessment and mitigation easier to accomplish, resulting in a lesser risk to insurers enabling them to lower prices and bring more companies to be able to purchase cyber insurance policies,” said CEO of HUB Security Uzi Moskowitz. “It’s a win-win situation.” 

A new cybersecurity solution for Google Cloud that makes use of the firm’s key technologies—isolation, governance, and strict access control—was introduced by HUB two days earlier. The company claims that this approach might lead to a paradigm shift in cybersecurity by protecting data while it is in use, at rest, or in transit, when it cannot be encrypted and is most vulnerable to assaults.

Because of the flexibility and low cost of cloud processing, more sectors are starting to make the switch. Despite all the advantages, however, security and privacy of client data remain a top issue. In the past, cloud service providers used data encryption to overcome this problem, but doing so came with more risk and liability because users had to safeguard their own encryption keys.

By employing confidential computing to cover for cloud flaws and offer a safe environment for the creation and distribution of keys, HUB is collaborating with Google to find a solution to this issue. In highly regulated industries like insurance, finance, and healthcare, the company aims to offer both small and large enterprises a high-fidelity, easily scalable solution.

The Security 100 list awardees deliver a combination of channel focus and trailblazing, innovative technology to solution providers, recognising premier IT channel security leaders. Varonis, with the support of a broad channel partner network, assists customers in achieving security results through automation. Varonis‘ SaaS platform makes data security easier to solve than ever before by employing automation to detect and secure exposures caused by oversharing, unnecessary access, and misconfigurations across clients’ SaaS ecosystems.

On March 13, Cloudflare, Inc. (NYSE:NET) released a global analysis on the Top 50 Brands Used in Phishing Attacks. The global network of Cloudflare protects about 20% of all websites, and its email security service prevented 2.3 billion spam emails from reaching inboxes in 2022. Because of this, Cloudflare can proactively safeguard its Zero Trust customers by using machine learning and data analysis to gain unique insight into the phishing sites that Internet users are most likely to click on.

SentinelOne (NYSE:S), an autonomous cybersecurity platform firm, recently announced an exclusive and strategic agreement with Wiz, a cloud security provider. The combined expertise of Wiz’s Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) and SentinelOne‘s Cloud Workload Protection Platform (CWPP) can be offered to organizations of all sizes through the strategic partnership, providing customers with a best-of-breed cloud security solution that provides superior capabilities to detect, prevent, investigate, and respond to cloud security threats, allowing them to dramatically reduce their risk.

Cloud security pioneer Zscaler, Inc. (NASDAQ:ZS) announced plans to buy Canonic Security, a leader in SaaS application security platforms. The Canonic platformis meant to reduce the rising risks of SaaS supply chain assaults for businesses. Without the permission of IT, users connect thousands of third-party applications and browser extensions to crucial SaaS platforms like Atlassian Suite, Microsoft 365, Salesforce, Google Workspace, and Slack as organizations adopt hundreds of SaaS platforms as part of the massive migration to the cloud. Corporate IT thinks that enterprise-ready SaaS platforms are where its crucial data assets are stored and secured. In actuality, these assets are kept in external drives, email clients, and chatbots, which exposes their SaaS supply chain to cyber danger. With the aid of Canonic’s solution, cybersecurity and IT teams can easily obtain visibility into this ungoverned surface area and expedite the administration and enforcement of SaaS applications.

HUB has operations in more than 30 nations and provides a comprehensive range of cybersecurity services in addition to cutting-edge computing gear.
