CLOUD SECURITY
I n early 2022 , following the invasion of Ukraine , Currency . com was forced to successfully defend the company from a distributed denial of service ( DDoS ) cyber attack , which was launched after they announced their decision to pull Currency . com out of the Russian market .
Currency . com ’ s Viktor Prokopenya says : “ Preparing to defend a company from cyber attacks might feel excessive or even unnecessary . That is , until you experience one . Such hesitation would be a denial of the soaring risks that firms face today in 2022 . Security is of paramount importance , because cyber attacks can devastate both businesses and users of their services . Clients are right to expect that companies are doing everything in their power to protect their personal information . Such a failure could constitute a permanent breach of trust between users and a company .”
Currency . com is just one of thousands of businesses worldwide tackling cybercrime every day . The company says the attack has meant they “ cannot afford to be complacent ”. Using proprietary intelligent technologies , they identify potential irregularities and malign actors as part of reactive defences .
