Companies around the globe, either big or small have been truly embracing the power of digital transformation thanks to the lockdown and the work-from-home situation. According to recent research conducted by Capgemini and MIT, such organizations are the ones that are performing far better in their respective industry. However, to keep up with the technology that changes rapidly, companies require sustained investment and innovation in new digital technologies.

The C-Suite executives of the firms are faced with this challenge to prepare and adapt to proficient planning and tools to safeguard from such hacks/cyber-attacks.

Types of Attacks

Advanced Persistent Threat (APT), is a particularly difficult attack to spot and action.

Making it complicated to detect within the right time and stop. Then there is the “breadth of attack vectors” which is a simple language that means the “attack surface” which has also substantially increased as digital transformation has come to the forefront, making it tough to tackle.

Along with these, various types of other attacks happen, like Malware – a vulnerable network breach that is “planted or disguised” within links or email attachments, used to install malicious software into a system. Virus, Trojan, Spyware, Ransomware, etc. are some common types of malware that are notoriously famous. Phishing, DOS Attacks (Denial of service), Man-In-The-Middle, SQL Injections, Zero-day Exploit, Password Attacks are also very well known to the world.
