The Top Five Cyber Security Threats Businesses Face Today

There is no doubt that cybersecurity is one of the most important issues facing businesses today. With the ever-increasing reliance on technology, cyberattacks have become more prevalent. According to a report from Juniper Research, the cost of data breaches is expected to reach $2.1 trillion by 2019.

Despite the importance of cybersecurity, many businesses are still not properly prepared to deal with attacks. This is often because they are unaware of their most common threats. This article will look at the top five cybersecurity threats businesses face today.

1. Phishing Attacks

Phishing attacks are one of the most common and dangerous types of cyberattacks. They are typically carried out by sending fraudulent emails that appear to be from a legitimate source. These emails often contain links or attachments that can infect your computer with malware.

2. Malware

Malware is a type of software that is designed to damage or disable computers. Once it has infected a computer, attackers can gain access to sensitive data or take control of the system.

3. Ransomware

Ransomware is malware that encrypts a user's files and demands a ransom be paid to decrypt them. This attack can devastate businesses and prevent them from accessing their data. In some cases, attackers will also threaten to delete the data.

4. SQL Injection

SQL injection is an attack that allows attackers to execute malicious code on a database. After the completion of the code, it will enable attackers to access sensitive data or even take control of the system.

5. Denial of Service Attacks

Denial of service attacks disables a website or online service by flooding it with traffic from multiple sources. This can prevent legitimate users from accessing the site or service and cause significant financial damage to the company. These are some of the most common cybersecurity threats businesses face today.
