Top Network Security Issues and Trends

Virus

A virus is a harmful file that can be downloaded and remain inactive, spreading by modifying other computer programs with its code.

Worms

Eating up bandwidth can slow down computer networks and hinder the efficiency of data processing on your computer. A worm is a type of malware that can spread and operate on its own, while a virus requires a host program to propagate.

Trojan

A trojan is a deceptive program that appears as a legitimate one, allowing malicious users to gain unauthorized access to the computer system through a hidden entryway.

Adware

By redirecting search queries to advertising websites, marketing data is collected to personalize ads based on search and purchase history.

Spyware

Spyware is a type of computer virus that collects information about an individual or organization without their explicit knowledge and may transmit this data to a third party without the user's consent

Ransomware

This trojan cyberware is crafted to extract money from the individual or organization's computer by encrypting data, rendering it unusable, and restricting access to the user's system.

Thread Hijacking

This trojan cyberware is crafted to extract money from the individual or organization's computer by encrypting data, rendering it unusable, and restricting access to the user's system.

Remote Access Vulnerabilities

This trojan cyberware is crafted to extract money from the individual or organization's computer by encrypting data, rendering it unusable, and restricting access to the user's system.

Mobile Threats

This trojan cyberware is crafted to extract money from the individual or organization's computer by encrypting data, rendering it unusable, and restricting access to the user's system.

Cloud Privilege Escalation

This trojan cyberware is crafted to extract money from the individual or organization's computer by encrypting data, rendering it unusable, and restricting access to the user's system.


Recommendations for Staying Secure

To protect against the evolving cyber threat landscape

  • Focus On Real-Time Prevention:


  • Secure Everything:


  • Consolidate to Gain Visibility:


  • Apply Zero Trust Paradigms:


  • Keep Threat Intelligence Up-To-Date:



Preventing future attacks requires implementing security best practices such as-

Least Privilege and Network Segmentation: These best practices can help to track and control movements within an organization�s network.
DevSecOps: Integration of security into the development lifecycle can help with detecting if software (like the Orion updates) has been maliciously modified.
Automated Threat Prevention and Threat Hunting: Security Operations Centers (SOC) analysts should proactively defend against attacks across all environments, including the network, endpoint, cloud, and mobile.
