Network security threats come in various forms, each targeting vulnerabilities to disrupt, steal, or manipulate data. Common threats include malware, such as viruses, worms, and ransomware, which infect systems to steal data or lock users out. Phishing attacks deceive users into revealing sensitive information, often through fake emails or websites. Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks overwhelm networks, making them inaccessible to legitimate users. Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attacks intercept communications, capturing sensitive information in transit. Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) involve prolonged infiltration, often by sophisticated attackers. Effective network security combines tools and practices to detect, prevent, and respond to these evolving threats.
