Cybersecurity Webinar Series

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced organizations and individuals to embrace new practices such as social distancing and remote working. Governments are reconsidering ways to ensure that their countries are stable by developing and enforcing new economic plans. Nevertheless, while the world is focused on the health and economic threats posed by COVID-19, cybercriminals around the world undoubtedly are capitalizing on this crisis. 

From our Cyber Intelligence Centre, we have observed a spike in phishing attacks, Malspams, and ransomware attacks as attackers are using COVID-19 as bait to impersonate brands thereby misleading employees and customers. This will likely result in more infected personal computers and phones. Not only are businesses being targeted, end-users who download COVID-19 related applications are also being tricked into downloading ransomware disguised as legitimate applications.

Webinar series on cybersecurity by the Warsaw Hub are developed for three types of actors: individuals (non-tech individuals), corporate representatives, and public sector organizations’ representatives. The Hub wants to share recommendations & tips on how to create healthy cybersecurity habits to protect data kept online. Each Webinar is designed for 100 attendees.
