Reinhart Hansen stories

{ "British English introduction": "

Reinhart Hansen is a dedicated author with a keen interest in cybersecurity, drawing attention to emerging threats and necessary countermeasures in the digital landscape. His writings often highlight crucial developments and predictions, such as Imperva's forecast for 2024, which underscores the increasing influence of Generative AI on cybersecurity, necessitating novel security strategies.

Hansen also sheds light on regional cybersecurity challenges, revealing Asia Pacific as a prime target for network DDoS attacks, with a significant proportion directed at Taiwan. He advises on pertinent measures, specifically for Australian enterprises, urging them to reduce their data footprint in response to the Privacy Act Review Report.

In New Zealand, Hansen vocalises growing concerns about internal cyber attack capabilities amidst an intensifying global threat landscape. His reports on the recent surge in distributed denial of service attacks globally act as a clarion call for businesses to bolster their defences against such disruptive incidents.

Focusing on vulnerabilities, Hansen identifies the escalating costs businesses face due to inadequately protected APIs, particularly amidst hastened digital transformation efforts. Additionally, he details the sophisticated risks posed by malicious bots in the Asia Pacific region, noting prevalent tactics like account takeover and scalping of limited-availability items.
