Cyber Threats
Know Your Enemy
Understanding how cyber attacks work is the first step to defending against them. Explore our threat database to learn attack vectors, indicators of compromise, and protection strategies.
Phishing Attacks
Deceptive emails, websites, and messages designed to steal credentials and personal information. The most common attack vector targeting individuals.
Ransomware
Malware that encrypts your files and demands payment for decryption. Can devastate individuals and organizations alike.
Malware Types
Comprehensive overview of malicious software: viruses, trojans, worms, spyware, adware, rootkits, and keyloggers.
Social Engineering
Psychological manipulation techniques: pretexting, baiting, tailgating, and quid pro quo. Exploiting human nature rather than technical vulnerabilities.
Zero-Day Exploits
Attacks exploiting unknown vulnerabilities before patches exist. Highly valuable to attackers and difficult to defend against.
DDoS Attacks
Distributed Denial of Service attacks overwhelm systems with traffic. Used for extortion, hacktivism, and competitive sabotage.
Man-in-the-Middle
Attackers intercept communications between two parties. Common on unsecured WiFi networks. HTTPS and VPNs provide protection.
SQL Injection
Exploiting vulnerabilities in database queries to access, modify, or delete data. One of the oldest yet still prevalent web attacks.
Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
Injecting malicious scripts into trusted websites. Can steal cookies, session tokens, and redirect users to malicious sites.
Supply Chain Attacks
Compromising software supply chains to distribute malware through trusted updates. SolarWinds and Log4j showed devastating potential.
