External attacks

External attacks refer to incidents where malicious actors, outside of an organization's network, attempt unauthorized access to systems, data, or infrastructure. These attacks can take various forms, including malware infections, phishing scams, DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks, and more. Each method aims to disrupt services, steal sensitive information, or otherwise compromise the integrity and security of an organization's digital assets. Understanding and mitigating external attacks is crucial for maintaining robust cybersecurity defenses and protecting against financial loss, reputational damage, and operational disruptions.
