Securing Data Against Cyber Threats
Cybersecurity threats pose significant risks to data security. Malware, such as viruses, worms, and trojans, damages or steals data through malicious attachments or websites. Ransomware encrypts data and demands a ransom, typically via phishing or exploit kits. Phishing deceives users into revealing sensitive information through fake emails or websites. Data breaches occur when unauthorized access is gained due to weak passwords, poor security, or software flaws.
