Targeted attacks

Targeted attacks are deliberate cyber assaults aimed at specific individuals, organizations, or systems, often with particular goals such as stealing sensitive information, disrupting operations, or causing damage. Unlike generic attacks, which are random or widespread, targeted attacks are carefully planned and customized to exploit known vulnerabilities of the chosen target. These attacks can involve advanced techniques like phishing, malware, or social engineering, and are often carried out by sophisticated threat actors seeking a strategic advantage. Protecting against targeted attacks requires strong security measures, awareness, and proactive monitoring.
