Question

companies and countries need to have defense polices and store data more securely. cybersecurity is both cultural and psychological. based on the cultural differences in russia and brazil, what are cybersecurity threats and how would you defend agsinst tgose threats ?

Answer 1

Each countries cybercrime is unique as it is not only affected by culture but also psychological. They have their own pattern. They also differs in the codes, modes etc. In order to address the cybercrime the strategies should have a solid base.

Ignorance and misperceptions often result in a failure to address cyber-security threats directly. Strategies, if they are adopted at all, tend to be cobbled together on the basis of spurious and untested premises. There is seldom robust data to drive decision-making. a more evidence-based approach is urgently needed in order to assess cyber threats.Unfortunately, already scarce time and resources are frequently allocated to less important areas rather than actual primary threats. There are number of cybercrime zhat includes

Complex cybercrime is a type of cyber crime consists of so-called complex cyber-offenses especially threats to government institutions. Their extent and nature in Brazil are still not at all clear. There is a lack of both quantitative and qualitative research shedding light on the scale of these threats, though specialists are nevertheless worried. Instead, there are occasional anecdotal insights of complex offenses that can serve as an indication of wider phenomena. These offenses are typically of most concern to national, state and municipal governments, as well as the armed forces and, to some extent, law enforcement. They also inform and shape choices adopted by governments in relation to the formation of cyber security infrastructure. Those most concerned with complex cyber offenses often reproduce statistics and anecdotes that are repeated incessantly, but lack evidence or corroborating data.

conventional cybercrime:-These are the most widespread forms of cyber-offenses in the world .Illegal access (cracking), data interception, child pornography, spam, hate speech, banking fraud, identity theft, copyright infringements.Exclusively law enforcement, since it normally embraces traditional crimes that are already categorized in criminal codes.There are two major subsets of conventional cybercrime: economically-motivated (especially banking fraud) and content-related (e.g. racism and child pornography in social media networks) .

Emerging threats:-

Threats related to the expansion of cyberspace that do not fit well in the ITU categories, whether because they are emerging or are more related to the developing world.Brazil suffers from high levels of interpersonal and organized violence, especially related to gangs and organized crime profiting from drug trafficking. These have already learned the power of ICTs to expand and strengthen their businesses.

Brazil is doubling down on its cyber-security architecture while simultaneously consolidating its emerging power status. public authorities are focusing not just on domestic cyber-criminality and cyber-activism but also expanding the state´s capability to mitigate cyber threats internationally. a central pillar of Brazil´s strategic response to both kinds of risks is CDCiber. and yet the emphasis on a militarized response may be incommensurate with the real (as opposed to existential) threats facing the country and society as a whole. The fact is that Brazil has comparatively few external cyber threats from foreign governments or terrorist groups. and yet, the rise of digital protest and cyber criminality is patently obvious, but receiving comparatively less attention and investment. There is an urgent need for a more informed and evidence-based reading of the threats confronting Brazil and engaging them with a careful consideration of balancing public safety and individual rights.

Russia is struggling to keep its cybercrime groups on a tight leash

Russia's control of cybercrime groups that have come to play a part in its espionage activity is crumbling, according to Cybereason.

The security intelligence outfit reached this conclusion after reviewing the latest tactics and procedures associated with high-profile cyber-espionage pops blamed on the Kremlin. Russia has made use of contractors to run intelligence operations for many years. These criminals-turned-spies offer a resource to the state while enjoying a cloak of semi-protected "status" for their extracurricular malicious activities, providing they are directed against foreign targets.
