Cyber attacks typically compromise network security through methods such as phishing, malware deployment, and exploiting vulnerabilities in software. Attackers may use social engineering techniques to deceive users into revealing sensitive information, like passwords. Once inside, malware can disrupt operations or exfiltrate data without detection. Furthermore, unpatched software introduces vulnerabilities that hackers can exploit. To mitigate these risks, organizations must adopt proactive security measures, including employee training, regular updates, and robust security protocols.
