ATTACKS & THREATS

Cyber attacks are increasingly common, and according to to the Cisco Annual Cyber Report, attackers can launch campaigns without human intervention with the advent of network-based ransomware worms. The number of security events increased in number and in complexity.

A cyber attack is when an individual or an organization deliberately and maliciously attempts to breach the information system of another individual or organization. While there is usually an economic goal, some recent attacks show destruction of data as a goal.

Malicious actors often look for ransom, or other kinds of economic gain, but attacks can be perpetrated with an array of motives, including political activism purposes.
