Following an insightful cybersecurity roundtable hosted by the Patent Office with speakers from the national agency fighting against organized crime and cybercrime, we want to alert you the following critical points:
Organized crime groups follow the global trend and now use Artificial Intelligence for all sort of crime activities – the list of AI based type of crimes gets longer every day.
Fake invoice IBAN swaps operated by Nigerian and Ukrainian criminal groups continues to disrupt corporate payment operations – AI tools used to intercept invoices.
Actionable Next Steps: 📅
Standardize your procedures. Set specific process owners responsible for each procedure.
Review and audit regularly your SOPs. Set a specific schedule twice per year at minimum.
Before implementing any changes to your SOPs always consult with your cybersecurity team. If you don`t have one, consider hiring external provider.
You and your employees should pay attention when installing apps on personal or corporate phones and computers. Unauthorized spyware/malware software could infect your phone/computer via the ads and monitor your activities.
