Cyber Security & Threat

1. Cyber security refers to protecting systems, networks, programs, and data from cyber attacks. It aims to reduce the risk of cyber attacks by making them less likely to occur. 2. Critical infrastructure organizations like those in the energy and transport sectors are often more vulnerable to attacks due to their reliance on older control systems. UK regulations require these organizations to implement security measures to manage risks. 3. Cloud security refers to protecting the data, applications, and infrastructure that are stored in the cloud. Common cyber threats include malware, backdoors, cryptojacking, and distributed denial-of-service attacks.

What Is Cyber Security?

Security in the context of cyberspace refers to the


application of technologies, processes, and controls
in order to safeguard against cyber-attacks on
systems, networks, programs, devices, and data. With
the aim of reducing the possibility of cyber-attacks
and protecting against unauthorized access to
systems, networks, and technologies, this initiative
aims to reduce the risk of cyber-attacks by reducing
the chances that they will occur.

Managing Cyber Security
Effective cyber security management must come
from the top of the organization.
A robust cyber security culture, reinforced by
regular training, will ensure that every employee
recognizes cyber security as their responsibility.
Good security and effective working practices must
go hand in hand.

TYPES OF CYBER THREATS

Common cyber threats include:


Malware, such as ransomware, botnet software, RATs (remote access Trojans),
rootkits and boot kits, spyware, Trojans, viruses, and worms.
Backdoors, which allow remote access.
Formjacking, which inserts malicious code into online forms.
Cryptojacking, which installs illicit cryptocurrency mining software.
DDoS (distributed denial-of-service) attacks flood servers, systems, and networks
with traffic to knock them offline.
DNS (domain name system) poisoning attacks compromise the DNS to redirect
traffic to malicious sites.
