• Phishing Attacks: Fraudulent emails or messages that trick employees into revealing sensitive information, such as login credentials or financial details.

• Malware and Ransomware: Malicious software that infects devices, often leading to data theft, system damage, or ransom demands to restore access to encrypted data.

• Data Breaches: Unauthorized access to sensitive business, customer, or employee data, often resulting from weak security practices or vulnerabilities in software.

• Insider Threats: Security risks posed by current or former employees, contractors, or business partners who misuse their access to data or systems for malicious purposes.

• Password Attacks: Techniques such as brute force, credential stuffing, or keylogging to crack or steal passwords, allowing attackers to access secure systems.

• Social Engineering: Manipulating employees into divulging confidential information or performing actions that compromise security, often through deceptive interactions.

• Denial of Service (DoS) Attacks: Overloading systems with excessive traffic to disrupt normal business operations, often rendering websites or services unavailable.

• SQL Injection: Exploiting vulnerabilities in web applications to insert malicious SQL code, allowing attackers to access or manipulate databases.

• Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks: Intercepting and altering communications between two parties, potentially stealing sensitive information or injecting malicious content.

• Unpatched Software and Systems: Exploiting known vulnerabilities in outdated or unpatched software to gain unauthorized access or cause disruptions.

• Mobile Device Threats: Targeting smartphones and tablets used by employees for business purposes, which may have weaker security controls.

• IoT Vulnerabilities: Exploiting insecure Internet of Things (IoT) devices connected to business networks, potentially leading to unauthorized access or control.

Addressing these threats requires a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy, including employee training, regular software updates, strong access controls, and the implementation of robust security technologies.
