    Malicious software is the most common and oldest form of cyber attack. Malware is any form of malware that can be used to hack, disrupt, steal, or harm data.

    Fremont, CA: Cybersecurity is the practice of safeguarding all types of information technology from malicious attacks. It involves preserving computers, servers, mobile devices, networks, applications, and data in the event of damage, destruction, or unauthorized access. As an industry, cybersecurity is huge and developing in order to protect everyone from new and emerging threats.

    What to Know about Cybersecurity:

    This industry's growth is unsurprising. Almost every entity and institution in the world today rely on computer systems and stores unprecedented quantities of sensitive personal, private, and proprietary data, making access to that data one of the most critical battlegrounds for offenders, state actors, terrorists, and other malicious entities.

    Cybersecurity is classified into many groups. Here are some of the main types that governments, corporations, and other organizations must protect.

    Common Cyber Threats

    The cybe threat environment is constantly changing, but there are many established risks that the industry must be aware of. Although their targets vary, it makes no difference whether an entity is defending against cybercriminals or cyber terrorists - both malicious actors appear to use the same collection of resources, which means there is a common threat. 

    Malware: Malicious software is the most common and oldest form of cyber attack. Malware is any form of malware that can be used to hack, disrupt, steal, or harm data. It includes weapons such as viruses, ransomware, trojans, and botnets.

    Phishing: Many cybercrimes begin with phishing, a technique in which malicious email or text messages masquerade as legitimate in order to trick users into disclosing sensitive information or login credentials.

    Man-in-the-middle attack: When a malicious actor exploits an intermediate node in computer communication, he or she may intercept messages or data between two other locations. A man-in-the-middle attack allows malicious entities to impersonate the endpoint and pretend to be the legitimate data and communication destination.
