CYBER
ATTACKS
 INTRODUCTIO
N
A data breach occurs when confidential,
sensitive, or protected information is accessed,
disclosed, or stolen by unauthorized
individuals.

Cyber attacks are malicious attempts to

compromise, damage, or steal data from a
system or network. With increasing
dependence on digital platforms, cybersecurity
has become a crucial aspect of both personal
and organizational security.

 COMMON
CYBER
ATTACKS
Denial of Service (DoS): Overloads a system or network, making it unavailable to
users.
Ransomware: Encrypts files and demands a ransom for decryption.

Phishing: Attackers send fake emails pretending to be trusted entities to trick

users into revealing credentials.

Man-in-the-Middle (MITM): Intercepts communication between two parties to steal sensitive

information.

Malware: Malicious software such as viruses, worms, and trojans that harm or steal data.
CAUSES OF
UNPATCHED SOFTWARE
DATA Security vulnerabilities in outdated
BREACHES software provide entry points for
attackers.
HUMAN ERROR
Mistakenly sending confidential data or
misconfiguring security settings.

E S

1.Implement Strong Password Policies: Use complex and unique passwords for each
account.
2. Regular Software Updates: Keep all applications and systems updated to patch
security vulnerabilities.
3. Cybersecurity Training: Educate employees on recognizing phishing emails and
security best practices.
4. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Adds an extra layer of security beyond just a
password.
5. Regular Security Audits: Conduct periodic assessments to identify and fix security
