An individual’s or business’s physical security is only as good as their cyber security because cyber attacks can have physical consequences. For example, if an organization’s cyber security is compromised, it may be at risk for physical attacks or disruptions to its operations.
One example of this is the use of ransomware, which is a type of malware that encrypts a victim’s data and demands a ransom payment in exchange for a decryption key. If an organization falls victim to ransomware, it may be unable to access important data or systems, disrupting its operations and potentially leading to physical damage to its facilities or equipment.
Another example is the use of cyber attacks to target critical infrastructure, such as power plants or transportation systems. If cyber criminals are able to gain access to and disrupt these systems, it could have serious physical consequences, such as power outages or transportation accidents.
