Understanding software and system vulnerabilities
Cybercriminals employ a wide array of techniques to exploit software and system vulnerabilities, making it crucial for cybersecurity professionals to understand these methods to effectively defend against attacks. The Exploitation phase of cyberattacks involves the critical step of exploiting vulnerabilities in software and systems. Cybercriminals employ various techniques and tactics to exploit these vulnerabilities, which can have devastating consequences if not adequately defended against.
Let’s deep dive to understand software and system vulnerabilities.
What are vulnerabilities?
Vulnerabilities are fundamental aspects of cybersecurity that demand our attention. They are the chinks in the armor of our software, hardware, and configurations that can be exploited by malicious actors to compromise the integrity, confidentiality, or availability of our systems. These vulnerabilities can be found at every layer of a computing...
