Most common network security attacks
In recent years we have witnessed a massive change in the scale and frequency of cyber-attacks, which are becoming more frequent and extensive and, as such, more difficult to protect against. It is pretty apparent that these attacks will only become more aggressive and sophisticated; that’s why it is helpful to know some of the main types of network security threats:
Malware attacks – a malicious code inserts unauthorized software onto your devices; it can quickly spread through your organization’s network, making it hard to get rid of;
Data theft – unauthorized access is used to obtain private information from the network; stolen login credentials are used to read protected files or steal sensitive data;
Insider threat – occurs when employees use their legitimate access to obtain sensitive data and infiltrate an organization’s network;
Social engineering – attackers use deception to convince workers to give away private information, such as login credentials, or violate security protocols;
Ransomware attacks – ever-evolving form of malware designed to encrypt files on user’s devices until a ransom fee is paid.
These are, by far, only a few of the many ways cyber-attackers use to break into networks.
