Cyberattacks are a serious threat to businesses worldwide. According to IBM’s X-Force Threat Intelligence Index<\/a>, 32% of all attacks last year targeted Europe, with the misuse of valid accounts and phishing each accounting for 30% of incidents. North America moves up to second place, making up 26% of all cases, while Asia-Pacific falls from first to third, accounting for 23%. To effectively protect systems and data, it is crucial to implement comprehensive security measures and keep them continuously updated. Our KVM matrix systems offer numerous security features<\/a> that help protect the deployed IT infrastructure. One useful feature supports in preventing and detecting brute-force attacks early on.<\/p>\n

What is a brute-force attack?<\/h2>\n

A brute-force attack is a method where attackers attempt to gain access to a system by trying various combinations of usernames and passwords. These attacks can be automated and highly effective if no countermeasures are implemented. Supported by automated software, attackers can perform thousands to millions of login attempts in a short period. They often use pre-made lists of commonly used passwords or generate random combinations to find the correct login credentials.
\nThis type of attack can be particularly effective if no adequate security measures are in place. Examples of such measures include strong password requirements, multi-factor authentication, or systems designed to detect and defend against brute-force attempts.<\/p>\n

In detail: Our new matrix security feature<\/h2>\n

Our KVM matrix systems are equipped with a practical security feature that autonomously detects brute-force attacks and automatically locks users after exceeding the set number of failed login attempts.<\/p>\n
