UNCOVER YOUR CYBERATTACK VULNERABILITIES

Don’t get blindsided by cyberthreats. Identify your digital risk to the most common attacks and learn how to prevent and mitigate damage.

1. Social engineering

THE THREAT:

Using deceptive tactics to manipulate individuals into divulging confidential/personal information. Phishing is a type of social engineering in which hackers trick victims into installing malware.

THE SOLUTION

2. Malware

THE THREAT:

Malicious software (like a virus) that executes unauthorized actions on the victim’s system. Malware includes ransomware, spyware, botnets and more.

THE SOLUTION

3. Ransomware

THE THREAT:

Malicious software (malware) designed to encrypt data, making it inaccessible until a ransom is paid to attackers with the promise (but no guarantee) of giving the data back.

THE SOLUTION

4. Botnet attacks

THE THREAT:

Using bots (a small piece of software that automates functions) to manipulate, disrupt or steal information from a site, app or end user.

THE SOLUTION

5. DDoS attacks

THE THREAT:

A malicious attempt to disrupt the availability of a targeted server, service or network by overwhelming the target with a flood of internet traffic. This can halt all internet-dependent business functions.

THE SOLUTION

6. SQL injection attacks

THE THREAT:

Exploiting vulnerabilities in web applications to inject malicious SQL code. This allows attackers to spoof identity, tamper with existing data, disrupt transactions, dump data bases or steal data.

THE SOLUTION

7. Cross-site scripting

THE THREAT:

Exploiting vulnerabilities in web applications and APIs to inject scripts into web pages viewed by other users. Hackers use it to bypass access controls, forcing browsers to perform actions they wouldn’t normally perform, like stealing personal information from forms.

THE SOLUTION

8. Credential stuffing

THE THREAT:

Using stolen credentials with the intent of gaining unauthorized access to other web applications. The process can be automated.
