According to Norton.com, there are 2,200 cyber security attacks per day. Roughly equating to one every 39 seconds. A cyber security threat refers to any possible malicious attack that seeks to illegally access data, disrupt operations, or damage information. Cybersecurity professionals continually come up with ways to combat cyber threats against computer systems. There are many motives for cyber-attacks, but the main reason is money. An example would be a cyber attacker taking a system offline then demanding money to restore its functionality again.
The advancement of technology plays a large role in making these attackers smarter day by day. Cybercriminals take advantage of firms who pay less heed to cybersecurity, targeting almost everything from small blogs to online stores to gain access to sensitive information. Some types of major cyber security threats include:
