Aiming to increase security for all users, More Cybersecurity's guide begins by covering what an IP address is - with practical tips for how anyone can confirm their own. The expert then moves on to highlighting proactive solutions for protecting it and recommends VPNs for address security.
With the report's release, More Cybersecurity aims to raise awareness around the vulnerabilities of public IP addresses. When connected to public Wi-Fi networks, devices broadcast IP addresses that can be viewed by other users on the same network - opening the door to attacks like IP spoofing, in which a hacker impersonates the target.
To mitigate these risks, More Cybersecurity recommends utilizing a VPN, or virtual private network. VPNs encrypt traffic and obscure IP addresses, providing an extra layer of protection and web-browsing security, especially on public networks. When activated, they create secure tunnels through which data can travel safely between a user's device and the internet. This helps prevent snooping or tampering by outside parties.
For businesses, More Cybersecurity emphasizes proactive cybersecurity measures like firewalls and intrusion detection systems. These solutions provide constant monitoring of incoming and outgoing network traffic, flagging any suspicious activity. In addition to these measures, businesses should implement and enforce strong password policies across the organization.
The report also stresses the importance of developing robust incident response plans. Having protocols in place to address potential breaches can reduce recovery time and damage, and a response plan can outline actions to take during and after an attack to contain the threat.
A spokesperson states: "Protecting your IP address is of utmost importance in today's digital landscape. By understanding the basics of IP address security and implementing best practices, you can safeguard your online privacy and prevent potential cyber threats."
