Common Cybersecurity Vulnerabilities Let's go over some common vulnerabilities that most businesses are threatened with. Hopefully we can bring awareness to these, that way Coming in at number 1 would be phishing attacks. You can combat this by being weary of any suspicious emails or leaks. Then there is ransomware which can lock you out of your infrastructure until a ransom is paid. Consistently update your infrastructure & be weary of any suspicious email attachments to mitigate ransomware attacks. And can't forget about DDoS attacks (distributed denial of service). This is when an attacker sends tons of requests to your infrastructure which can overwhelm it causing loss of traffic. You can limit the number of requests any user can make within a certain amount of time to add a layer of defense against DDoS. Of course there are tons more cyberattacks out there...but this post isn't big enough to include all of them. And virtually every business is different & has unique hidden vulnerabilities, so that's why it's crucial to get a vulnerability assessment to kickstart your cybersecurity journey.
