Cybersecurity

Welcome to our guide on cybersecurity, a crucial field in our technology-driven world. Here, we explore how to protect computer systems and networks from harmful attacks, which could lead to unauthorized access, data theft, or damage to your hardware and software. We also look at preventing disruptions to your digital services.

Cybersecurity is increasingly important due to our reliance on computer systems, the internet, and wireless networks like Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. With the rise of smart devices like smartphones and smart TVs and the broader Internet of Things, securing our digital lives has become essential.

The need for robust cybersecurity is especially critical for systems that manage important operations—like power distribution, elections, or financial services—where the impact of a breach can be severe. Modern technology’s deep integration into key societal functions highlights the urgency for effective security measures.

Vulnerabilities are weaknesses that could be exploited by attackers and are documented in the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures database. Researchers use various techniques, including reverse engineering and automated tools, to find and address these weaknesses. To protect a system, it’s crucial to understand potential threats, which include:

● Backdoor
● Denial-of-service attack
● Direct-access attacks
● Eavesdropping
● Malware
● Multi-vector, polymorphic attacks
● Phishing
● Privilege escalation
● Side-channel attack
● Social engineering
● Spoofing
● Tampering
● HTML smuggling
