Cyberthreats are an unfortunate consequence of digitalization and cloud computing. Moving forward with the times, malicious agents have developed sophisticated ways of attacking your businesses, stealing vital information, and holding you to ransom.
You need to be aware of the following commonly occurring cyberattacks:
1. Malware – It is any malicious program that infects a device or network. The intention can be to corrupt critical data or take control of your system.
2. Spyware – This type of malware hides in your system and records critical information such as bank details and passwords.
3. Phishing attacks – These attacks target humans. They lure targets into divulging sensitive personal data and identifiable information.
4. Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Attacks – These attacks disrupt computer networks and business continuity. They flood
the network with requests and overload the system, preventing the fulfillment of legitimate requests.
5. Zero-day attacks – These attacks exploit existing flaws and vulnerabilities in our system that are unknown to us.
