A cyberattack is any type of offensive maneuver employed by individuals or whole organizations that targets computer information systems, infrastructures, computer networks, and/or personal computer devices by various means of malicious acts usually originating from an anonymous source that either steals, alters, or destroys a specified target by hacking into a susceptible system.
There are a large variety of different adversarial attacks that can be used against machine learning systems. Many of these work on both deep learning systems as well as traditional machine learning models such as SVMs [8] and linear regression. [76] A high level sample of these attack types include: Adversarial Examples [77]
An example of an IDN homograph attack; the Latin letters "e" and "a" are replaced with the Cyrillic letters "е" and "а".The internationalized domain name (IDN) homograph attack (sometimes written as homoglyph attack) is a method used by malicious parties to deceive computer users about what remote system they are communicating with, by exploiting the fact that many different characters look ...
Tactics are the “why” of an attack technique. The framework consists of 14 tactics categories consisting of "technical objectives" of an adversary. [2] Examples include privilege escalation and command and control. [3] These categories are then broken down further into specific techniques and sub-techniques. [3]
Provides indicators of actions taken during each stage of the attack. [16] Communicates threat surfaces, attack vectors and malicious activities directed to both information technology and operational technology platforms. Serve as fact-based repository for evidence of both successful and unsuccessful cyber attacks.
An Inference Attack is a data mining technique performed by analyzing data in order to illegitimately gain knowledge about a subject or database. [1] A subject's sensitive information can be considered as leaked if an adversary can infer its real value with a high confidence. [2] This is an example of breached information security.
Denial of Service Attacks. A denial-of-service attack (DoS attack) is a cyber-attack in which a threat actor seeks to make an automated resource unavailable to its victims by temporarily or indefinitely disrupting services of a network host. Threat actors conduct a DoS attack by overwhelming a network with false requests to disrupt operations. [20]
These simulated attacks are designed to mimic real-world threats and techniques used by cybercriminals. The simulations test the organization's ability to detect, analyze, and respond to attacks. After running the simulations, BAS platforms generate reports that highlight areas where security controls failed to stop the simulated attacks. [1]
