With every passing day, our lives become increasingly entwined with technology, making us susceptible to a myriad of cyber threats that can compromise our personal information, disrupt vital infrastructure, and undermine the very fabric of our society. As we plunge deeper into the digital age, it is imperative to foster a comprehensive understanding of cybersecurity and its multifaceted dimensions.

Cyberattacks are becoming more sophisticated, and organizations need to be proactive in identifying and mitigating threats. Automated threat hunting and threat intelligence platforms will gain prominence in identifying and mitigating threats. Common cyber threats and attacks include malware, password theft, traffic interception, phishing attacks, cloud vulnerabilities, poor cyber hygiene, configuration mistakes, insider threats, supply chain attacks, and ransomware attacks. The most prevalent cybersecurity risk and attack that poses the greatest threat is ransomware.
