There are a few more advanced attacks in cybersecurity and they each have their own problems towards the security officers or the SO’s. The ones that are “more advanced” are the advanced persistent threats, the AI cyberattacks, and the Zero-Day exploits along with a few others. The advanced persistent threats are made basically to steal any important data from the company this is also considered one of the advanced ones because it usually is not detectable for the SO’s for a longer time. The AI cyberattacks are the use of attackers using AI or (Artificial Intelligence) to make their attacks look more realistic to whoever they are aiming to attack, this makes it more believable because the use of AI in general is to make things look real that are actually very fake. This also makes the company think it is trustworthy because the use of the AI. Lastly, the Zero-day exploits are attacks that are used to also steam important information from company’s and this is named “Zero-Day” because they have no time to go back and correct the harm caused from these attacks, so this means that the damage is already done before anyone even knows its damaged so this is a very important one to watch for.

The SO’s or Security Officers can help prevent these attacks by doing a few things including having extra security over the important information. They can also make sure that all the trainees or new people have the correct training and are not given full access until fully trained to be able to help prevent the attacks. Security officers also need to make sure that they encrypt their information by making it unreadable to those without permissions to read it.
