Ways to protect your Organization from Attack Vectors
- Network Segmentation: Network Segmentation is defined as the process of dividing a computer network into smaller, isolated segments or subnetworks. Sometimes, network segmentation is also referred to as network isolation or network segregation. Where each segment is separated from other segments by network devices such as routers, switches, or firewalls.
- Intrusion Detection and Prevention System: Intrusion Prevention System is also known as Intrusion Detection and Prevention System. It is a network security application that monitors network or system activities for malicious activity. Major functions of intrusion prevention systems are to identify malicious activity, collect information about this activity, report it and attempt to block or stop it.
- Antivirus : Antivirus/Anti-Malware Software is a type of software program that helps protect the computer system from viruses and malwares. It detects the viruses in the computer system and destroys them. It also protects the computer system from specific malware.
- Encryption: Data Encryption is a method of preserving data confidentiality by transforming it into ciphertext, which can only be decoded using a unique decryption key produced at the time of the encryption or before it. The conversion of plaintext into ciphertext is known as encryption.
Emerging Attack Vectors in Cyber Security
In Cyber Security, knowing about attack vectors is key to keeping information safe and systems secure. An attack vector is a way that cybercriminals use to break into a network, system, or application by taking advantage of weaknesses. Attack vectors refer to the various paths or methods that attackers use to gain unauthorized access to a system, network, or application to exploit vulnerabilities, steal data, or cause damage.
As cyber threats grow more complex, it’s more important than ever to identify and protect against these attack vectors. This article will look at the different types of attack vectors, their effects on cybersecurity, and how to defend against them.
