As cyber attacks become more advanced and intricate, being clued up on the different kinds of threats you\u2019ll face is vital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a plethora of different attacks in the arsenal of the modern attacker, so knowing what you\u2019ll be up against is important for any modern organisation. By preparing yourself and knowing what you\u2019re up against, you can ensure that you\u2019re secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why in this article, we\u2019re going to go over the eight most common forms of cyberattack that you\u2019ll face in 2023, and how you can get started in protecting yourself today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phishing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Phishing \u2014 the most common form of attack \u2014 is trying to trick someone to get their details. Usually using realistic-looking important emails from what would be a reputable source, a phishing attack aims to trick the victim into thinking that they\u2019re someone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, common phishing attacks tend to be scammers pretending to be Amazon or a bank, trying to get card details off of unaware victims. These scams are easy to fall for if you\u2019re not vigilant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Malware-based Attacks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Malware is software that is used in a malicious manner. This will be software within your system that is usually built to do damage to your infrastructure. With this, hackers can easily cause significant damage throughout your system and steal your data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Malware traditionally comes in the form of a trojan attack \u2014 named after the trojan horse, in which the malware is bundled with another piece of harmless software. This is an easy way to get the \u2018payload\u2019 (the virus) into your system to wreak havoc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enforcing security compliance throughout your organisation and educating on the dangers of downloading files from unknown sources is the best way to stop malware from entering your organisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investing in good antivirus software throughout your business is also a way to stamp out malware at the roots. If you\u2019re looking to get started with good antivirus software, get in touch with us today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Denial of Service (DOS)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Denial of service (DOS) attacks are attacks that aim to simply disable the day-to-day infrastructure of a business. DOS attacks will usually send lots of requests to a server with the aim to overload it. This will deny service to your whole organisation and can be very crippling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tools like Azure DDOS Protect offer protection from DOS attacks by enforcing limits on the number of requests that can be sent to your server in one go. These attacks are simply stoppable by having the correct security \u2014 to make sure that you\u2019re secure against DOS attacks, get in touch today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spoofing<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Spoofing attacks are the type of attacks where the attacker masquerades as trusted personnel to push someone to do something. This attack uses social engineering to take advantage of a victim and manipulate them to the attacker\u2019s ideal outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IP Spoofing attacks are a specific kind of spoofing attack that comes with your typical DOS attack. This is when packets are altered to appear that they\u2019re coming from a trusted network, to gain access to the server. This is why monitoring network activity within your organisation is crucial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Credential Stuffing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Credential stuffing is when an attacker uses stolen credentials to try to log into as many websites as possible. The aim is to target those who reuse credentials \u2014 when the credentials are breached on one website, credential stuffing allows the attacker to try to access other websites and accounts using the same credentials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a victim is successfully breached, a hacker could potentially gain control of every account they have \u2014 including work accounts. This is why encouraging and enforcing good password hygiene is crucial (as well as ensuring password changes are enforced throughout your organization).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

S<\/strong>upply Chain Attacks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Supply chain attacks are intricate attacks in which an attacker would target a third-party organisation to try to launch an attack into your system by infecting their services with some kind of payload. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is usually to try to cause crippling damage to your organisation in a completely unexpected way or to cause damage to multiple organisations at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aim of this is to access a secure system from a much less secure breach point, to try to gain access to the organisation and breach through the security that is currently protecting your system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Insider Threats<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Insider threats are when an insider \u2014 someone within your organisation \u2014 does something to harm your organisation. This is uncommon, but can sometimes happen as part of revenge attacks or other forms of corruption. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The number of types of attacks that can occur from an insider is endless \u2014 from theft, to sabotage, and even physical violence, these can be hard to protect yourself against. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best way to make sure that this isn\u2019t a threat to you is to make sure to monitor staff and security and ensure that employees only have access to what they need to complete their tasks.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manin-the-Middle Attacks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack is when something is intercepting communications between two points. This can be either to collect information or possibly even sabotage the communication between two points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is an attack which is often not used due to the keyway to beat it \u2014 end-to-end encryption. End-to-end encryption is a must for any modern organisation, as it ensures that all data is transmitted between two points securely.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How We Can Secure Your Business<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Cybersecurity knowledge is of utmost importance for any organisation looking to fend off any attackers and malicious users. By educating yourself and your organisation on these threats, you can ensure that your organisation is prepared and protected going forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are software and tools available to help counteract cyber-attacks, and they can be a huge help in keeping your organisation secure. If you\u2019re looking to get started with security tools, get in touch with us today. We\u2019ll be able to help secure your organisation and ensure that your security posture is unbreakable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
