Cybersecurity Attacks
Cybersecurity attacks are malicious activities that aim to disrupt or gain unauthorized access to digital systems. They can cause significant damage to individuals and organizations, making it crucial to take proactive measures to prevent them.
Attack Surface
Reducing the attack surface is critical for managing cybersecurity risk. It includes eliminating vulnerabilities that attackers can use to gain unauthorized access, such as software vulnerabilities, weak passwords, open ports, and human errors.
Cybersecurity Compliance
Security compliance is adhering to standards and regulations for cybersecurity. Frameworks like GDPR provide data protection and privacy guidelines. Compliance helps avoid penalties and promotes best practices for security to stay resilient against cyber threats.
