Cyber-attacks are on the rise, impacting organisations more than ever. As per a recent survey by Barracuda, researchers have observed a 667% increase in spear-phishing attacks since the end of February, 2020 with the damage related to cybercrime projected to hit US$6tn annually by 2021.

Threat actors are actively using Covid-19 social engineering themes to try to take advantage of remote workers, health concerns, stimulus payments, trusted brands, and more. With the explosion in remote working and cloud adoption, we believe cybersecurity is an essential foundation for enterprises to thrive in a digital-first post pandemic era.

Wi-Fi is the most popular wireless networking protocol and has existed for more than 20 years. Yet the layer two surface of the seven-layer Open Systems Interconnection model (OSI), where Wi-Fi starts its initial connection sequences, has remained largely undefended from many cyber threats because there are no industry standards or common methods for testing the security efficacy of Wi-Fi access points. It is also because the market has prioritised performance over safety for way too long.

Because shockingly very little cyber security protection exists at layer two, even a rookie hacker armed with tools that cost under £150 tools and one of the many YouTube ‘how-to’ videos, could potentially steal passwords, files, intercept emails, install malware and much more.
