Understanding Cyber Threats

Cyber threats are evolving rapidly, and organizations must stay informed to protect their assets. This article provides an overview of common cyber threats:

Malware

Phishing

Phishing attacks involve tricking individuals into providing sensitive information by masquerading as a trustworthy entity.
