The internet has recently been buzzing with talk of AI chatbots changing the world.
However, the term "bot" refers to an automated program. And for every "good bot," there are numerous "bad bots."
Malware bots,' for example. They are a growing security risk, and you must ensure that your company is fully protected against them.
Criminals can use these bots to steal entire user profiles, which include your ID and settings. This could potentially allow them to circumvent strict security measures.
Here's how to make their lives more difficult:
- Use a password manager and Multi-Factor Authentication to secure your login information;
- Keep your antivirus active and updated to detect malware before it infects your system; and
- Use file encryption to reduce the amount of data that can be stolen if an attack is successful.
