WHAT IS CYBERSECURITY?
Cybersecurity is the set of technologies, processes, and practices used to protect IT systems, networks, data, and devices from digital attacks, unauthorized access, or damage.
In other words, it aims to safeguard information and digital infrastructures from threats such as hackers, malware, or data breaches..
GOAL
Cybersecurity is based on three fundamental principles (the CIA triad):
→ Availability
Ensuring that systems and data are always accessible when needed.
→ Confidentiality
Ensuring that data is accessible only to authorized individuals.
→ Integrity
Ensuring that data is not modified or altered without authorization.
MAIN THREATS
MALWARE
Malware is malicious software designed to infiltrate, damage, or compromise IT systems, networks, or data without the user’s consent.It can be used to steal information, block access to systems, monitor user activity, or cause malfunctions. Common types of malware include viruses, ransomware, trojans, and spyware..
PHISHING &
SOCIAL ENGINEERING
Phishing is a cyber attack technique based on social engineering, in which an attacker sends emails or messages, or creates fake websites, to trick users into providing sensitive information such as passwords, banking details, or login credentials. Social engineering involves the psychological manipulation of individuals to obtain confidential information or access to systems, exploiting trust, urgency, or distraction rather than technical vulnerabilities.
DENIAL OF SERVICE &
DISTRIBUTED DENIAL OF SERVICE
Denial of Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are cyber attacks aimed at making a service, website, or system unavailable by overwhelming it with an excessive number of requests. In a DoS attack, the traffic originates from a single source, whereas in a DDoS attack, requests come from multiple compromised devices distributed across a network (a botnet), making the attack more difficult to mitigate and more effective in causing service disruptions.
EMAIL ACCOUNT COMPROMISE
Business email compromise is a cyber attack in which a criminal gains access to, or impersonates, a legitimate corporate email account to deceive employees, customers, or partners. The goal is often to obtain money transfers, sensitive data, or confidential information by exploiting trust in internal communications or interactions with suppliers. These attacks commonly involve phishing, credential theft, or email spoofing.
INSIDER THREATS
Insider threats are cybersecurity risks that originate from individuals within the organization, such as employees, contractors, or vendors with access to corporate systems. These threats can be intentional, such as data theft or sabotage, or unintentional, resulting from human error, misuse of systems, or the loss of sensitive information.
IDENTITY THREATS
Identity threats refer to attacks aimed at stealing, compromising, or fraudulently using users’ login credentials, such as usernames, passwords, or authentication tokens. These threats can allow attackers to access systems, data, or corporate services by impersonating legitimate users, leading to data breaches, fraud, or unauthorized access. Common attacks include credential theft, phishing, credential stuffing, and account takeover.
HOW TO DEFEND YOURSELF?
To protect IT systems, networks, and corporate data, cybersecurity relies on a set of technologies, tools, and solutions designed to prevent, detect, and respond to cyber threats. These tools enable the monitoring of suspicious activities, the blocking of unauthorized access, and the protection of sensitive information.
Among the main technologies used in cybersecurity are:
→ Network and log monitoring
→ Firewalls
→ Antivirus and anti-malware solutions
→ Strong authentication systems (MFA)
→ Data encryption
→ Backup and Disaster Recovery
