CYBERSECURITY: Understanding Cyber threats…

Cyber threats have become a pressing concern for individuals and organizations as we rely on technology. Cybersecurity protects devices, networks, and sensitive information from unauthorized access, theft, or damage. In this article, we will explore what a threat in cybersecurity entails and the various forms it can take.

A threat in cybersecurity refers to any potential danger to a computer system or network that could compromise the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of data. Such threats can come from various sources, including malware, hackers, and insider threats.

Malware, short for malicious software, is a threat designed to infiltrate a computer system and cause damage. On the other hand, hackers are individuals or groups who attempt to gain unauthorized access to a network or system to steal sensitive information. Insider threats refer to employees or contractors with authorized access to the system who misuse their privileges to cause harm.

Cybersecurity threats come in many forms, from viruses and malware to phishing scams and social engineering tactics. Hackers are constantly finding new ways to breach systems and steal sensitive information, which can lead to identity theft, financial loss, and reputational damage.
