Dutch mass feel less safe online than on the streets . Statistics Netherlands ( CBS ) count on that 2.2 million mass will have become victims of cybercrime by 2022 . In the horticultural sphere , one in five entrepreneurs is a dupe . Those figures do not show what materialize to people . What is clear is that this is a major social job . Yet , we have hardly seen this topic mentioned in the setting of the upcoming election . Among politicians , we mostly see concerns about privacy , an open and unattackable internet , and the dangers of AI technology .
In conversations with growers and buyers , we find that the number of incidents is clearly increase . That include successful try , with the entrepreneur bemoaning afterwards that it happened to him or her . We see a sharp growth in fishgig phishing in particular . Criminals send personalized emails or asking base on extensive research on social media to their think targets . Using this information , they trick their victims into suppose they are obtain a legitimate email or bill , for example . The case we came across convoluted payments in the order of 100,000 euros . The electronic mail address used might dissent by only one letter , and the bank bill is in a far - off strange state . The cozenage can be prevented by a call to the already - known number of the existing relationship .
PhishingCybercriminals use a image of methods besides the aforementioned ' spear phishing . ' One method that on a regular basis seduce the word is ransomware , where your electronic computer organization is highjack and you may no longer access anything . A ransom is then demanded . The advice from the law is constantly not to pay . The KNVB was recently a victim , and it paid anyway . The felon jeopardize to spread secret information about professional football player . The quandary is clear . It is preventable by immediately taking the correct measures to retrieve from a ransomware attack .
The examples show well why we talk about cyber resilience rather than cyber certificate or digital safety . The latter may suggest that it is in the main about taking measures at the point of IT system , such as install antivirus programs . In cyber resiliency , the role of human race comes much more to the fore . Indeed , in practice , the biggest vulnerability is posed by humans . By fall into place on a file in a phishing email , the conductor or one of his employee gives felon accession to the organization . Another risk is yield remote admittance to too enceinte a mathematical group of people or , for toilet facility , impart a distant supplier access code to the entire system . If the door is undefended to him , it is a itinerary for felon to seek to break in .
cognizance and knowledgePeople really are the decrepit connection . If at all possible , they take the simplest password possible , share an account with colleagues in the section for comfort station , grumble about the use of multi - factor hallmark ( MFA ) , or complain when they are force to switch the watchword . That imperfect radio link is probably also the grounds why 75 percent of party have experienced cybercrime to a dandy or less extent . From Royal FloraHolland , we very emphatically see a responsibility towards the intact floriculture concatenation , especially towards our fellow member . We require to make the entire concatenation and all parties involve more lively .
With this in mind , we have co - initiated the instauration of the Cyber Resilience Centre Greenport . This night club focus on strengthening the digital resilience of companies , especially in the glasshouse gardening sector . Together with other party , we work on awareness and knowledge . In cooperation with the Cyber Resilience Centre , we are enter an RFH Cyber subscription for our supporters . We are doing this to help growers and buyers on their way to digital resilience .
The RFH cyber subscription include the pursuit :
