Introduction<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Lots of public events have shifted towards online space with the rise of the coronavirus pandemic. Evaluating this peculiar situation at the moment, nearly after a year since the remote meeting notion started to take turns, it might be even strange to think that we haven\u2019t thought of doing this before. Online events, big or small, turned out to be rather effective and extremely convenient, with only several downsides. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Threats to Consider<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There are many threats that come from cyber attacks and security breaches. They may vary in quality<\/a> and scale, yet one thing about them is certain, they are dangerous. Even if you\u2019re not working for a big company, a governmental, or a military organization, a cybersecurity breach can be dangerous personally to you at least.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By attacking you in the virtual space, the perpetrators usually aim for the most important data you have, like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
