Attack patterns
Attack patterns are common methods or techniques used by cybercriminals to compromise systems, networks, or data. They are like templates or strategies that hackers follow to exploit vulnerabilities, gain unauthorized access, or cause disruption. Understanding these patterns helps security professionals anticipate and defend against potential threats. Examples include phishing (tricking users into revealing sensitive information), malware (malicious software), or exploiting software flaws. Recognizing attack patterns enables organizations to strengthen defenses, implement better safeguards, and respond more effectively when threats occur.
