                     TYPES OF CYBER THREATS

                     Understanding different types of cyber threats helps in preventing, preparing for, and responding
                     to attacks more effectively. These threats arise because increasing digital connectivity has created

                     more data and more points of access. This growth also provides opportunities for hackers to take
                     advantage of weaknesses in computer systems and cause damage.
