The document outlines the significance of protecting data from network attacks, detailing common types of attacks such as malware, phishing, and DDoS. It explains how these attacks work, indicators of an attack, and prevention methods including employee training and the use of updated security technology. Future solutions like AI, blockchain, and bug bounty programs are suggested to enhance cybersecurity measures.

1. Network Attacks
In today's digital world, it is more important than ever to protect your data
from network attacks. This presentation will cover common types of
attacks, how they work, signs to watch out for and prevention methods.

2. Types of Network Attacks
1 Malware
Software designed to infiltrate or damage a computer system.
2 Phishing
Deceptive emails and websites attempting to trick users into revealing sensitive
information.
3 Man-in-the-Middle
Where an attacker intercepts communications between two parties without their
knowledge.
4 Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS)
When many systems flood a network server with traffic causing it to become
overloaded and unavailable to users.

3. How Network Attacks Work
Accessing a Vulnerability
Cybercriminals search for
vulnerabilities like outdated software
or a weak password to access your
network.
Exploiting the
Vulnerability
The attacker then exploits the
vulnerability to gain unauthorized
access to your network.
Causing Harm
Once inside, the attacker can steal
sensitive data, bring down your entire
network or place malware for future
attacks.

4. Signs of a Network Attack
Unusual Activity
If you notice unusual or suspicious activity
such as repeated failed login attempts, do
not ignore it.
Slow Network
Sluggish networks, even after
troubleshooting, can be a sign of a network
attack or malware.
Locked Out
Users getting locked out of the system or
unable to access certain files can be a
warning sign of a compromised network.
Nothing to See
Attackers can be invisible to network
scanning tools. Use multiple tools and
methods for better results.

5. Preventing Network Attacks
Training and Awareness
Regular cybersecurity training for employees is essential
in reducing risk from human error.
Hardware and Software
Hardware and software should be kept updated to help
minimize vulnerabilities.
Firewalls and Antivirus
Use firewalls and antivirus software to protect against
common attacks like malware and DDoS.
Encryption
Encrypt data in transit to prevent unauthorized access.

6. Solutions for the Future
1 Artificial Intelligence
AI can detect and prevent attacks in real-time,
minimizing damage and downtime.
2
Blockchain
Blockchain technology can help secure devices by
adding an extra layer of protection. 3 Bug Bounties
Awarding ethical hackers who find vulnerabilities
can encourage a proactive approach to
cybersecurity.
