Security Magazine on Channel Partner Security Threats and Concerns, Limitations when Facing Breach, Vulnerabilities, Password Hacks
The Security magazine article, “SMB Budget Constraints and Increase of Cyberattacks in 2020 Among Top Cybersecurity Concerns,” outline concerns channel partners face related to cyber threats like breach, vulnerabilities, password hacks and backdoor exploits, based on new research by cybersecurity provider Untangle.
Untangle’s report surveyed a range of channel partners to find out barriers and current trends they faced, for both managed security providers (MSPs) and value-added resellers (VARs). The research found that channel partners were key to an organization’s fight against cyberattacks, according to the article.
“For many organizations, MSPs are the first and sometimes the only line of defense against a cyberattack. Channel partners, by nature of their role in helping source solutions, inherit the barriers that SMBs face in the cybersecurity market and need to work within the budgets allocated,” said Steve Young, channel marketing manager at Untangle, in the article.

Hikvision Blogs Provide Key Cyber Tips
Hikvision blogs from 2019 outlined cybersecurity tips to prevent vulnerabilities, deter password hacks and backdoor exploits. These blogs are highlighted in this Hikvision article: “Key 2019 Hikvision Cyber Blogs Offer Tips to Prevent a Vulnerability, Deter Password Hacks and Backdoor Exploits.”
One of the blogs referenced in the article provides examples of phishing and how to avoid it by Hikvision’s cybersecurity director. Phishing is a common cyber threat, and has long been an effective way for attackers to trick people into divulging sensitive information or infecting a system with malware. Malware can give an attacker remote access to protected systems and networks, encrypt a user’s data and charge a ransom to decrypt the data, or use that system as part of an attack against other systems.

Juice-jacking is another cyberattack that has made news recently. Juice-jacking happens when someone connects their mobile device to a USB charging station that charges the device, but has also been modified to copy data from the mobile device, like photos and text messages, or infect the device with malware. This is possible because USB cables provide both charging and data transfer capabilities. When plugging a mobile device into a computer for charging, an application like iTunes generally pops up, the same way it does when you plug in an iPhone into a computer. This is because the computer recognizes the mobile device and is offering to back up the data from that device.
Here are three professional tips from Hikvision to avoid juice-jacking:
