Advances in Cyber Security Are Necessary
Advances in Cyber Security Are Necessary:
Cyber security will remain a hot topic in Information Technology as long as hackers continue their trade. Research shows: Cybersecurity jobs are growing three times as fast as other tech jobs. By 2025, 60% of organizations will use highly sophisticated cybersecurity systems.
It can be difficult to know which emerging tech is worth the investment and which you should pass over.
This list will give you a better understanding of technology trends that will last into the next generation and real-world use cases you can expect to see in 2023 and beyond.
Cyberattacks have an enormous and growing impact on businesses and the economy. By one estimate, cybercrime will cost the world economy USD 10.5 trillion per year by 2025.3 The cost of cyberattacks continues to rise as cybercriminals become more sophisticated.

Malware
Malware, short for "malicious software", is any software code or computer program that is intentionally written to harm a computer system or its users. Almost every modern cyberattack involves some type of malware.
Hackers and cybercriminals create and use malware to gain unauthorized access to computer systems and sensitive data, hijack computer systems and operate them remotely, disrupt or damage computer systems, or hold data or systems hostage for large sums of money (see "Ransomware").

Phishing
Phishing attacks are email, text or voice messages that trick users into downloading malware, sharing sensitive information or sending funds to the wrong people.
Most users are familiar with bulk phishing scams—mass-mailed fraudulent messages that appear to be from a large and trusted brand, asking recipients to reset their passwords or reenter credit card information. More sophisticated phishing scams, such as spear phishing and business email compromise (BEC), target specific individuals or groups to steal especially valuable data or large sums of money.
Phishing is just one type of social engineering, a class of “human hacking” tactics and interactive attacks that use psychological manipulation to pressure people into taking unwise actions.
