  • Abstract:
  • In today’s interconnected world, cybersecurity is increasingly vital due to the growing frequency and complexity of cyber threats. This chapter aims to explain the key types, methods, and impacts of these threats, drawing on recent academic findings. It begins by highlighting the escalating importance of cybersecurity and the significant financial, reputational, and operational risks posed by cyber incidents. The chapter then categorizes cyber threats, including malware, phishing, denial of service (DoS) attacks, man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacks, and SQL injection, detailing their characteristics and consequences. It also explores the mechanisms behind these threats, such as exploitation techniques, advanced persistent threats (APTs), exploit kits, and social engineering. Lastly, the chapter underscores the essential role of security awareness and training in combating these threats, stressing the need for comprehensive security strategies that tackle both technical vulnerabilities and human factors.
