What Are Common Threats To Network Security?

There are studies showing that nearly one-third of the world’s computers are infected with some type of malware. Is your network strong enough to survive the following attacks?

• Computer virus – Viruses are known to send spam, disable your security settings, corrupt and steal data from your computer including personal information such as passwords, even going as far as to delete everything on your hard drive.
• Rogue security software – This is a malicious software that mislead users to believe there is a computer virus installed on their computer or that their security measures are not up to date. This will lead to actual malware being installed on your computer.
• Trojan horse – This refers to tricking someone into inviting an attacker into a securely protected area. It is a malicious bit of attacking code or software that tricks users into running it willingly, by hiding behind a legitimate program.
