Cybersecurity has many issues, but three of the most important are phishing, ransomware, and insider threats. Phishing happens when attackers send fake emails or messages to trick people into sharing passwords or personal information. This matters for security officers because one wrong click by an employee can allow attackers into the company’s network. To prevent this, training and strong email filters are necessary. Ransomware is a type of malware that locks or encrypts company data and demands payment to unlock it. This can stop business operations. Security officers need to ensure the company has good backups, updated antivirus tools, and strong patching practices to avoid these attacks.

Insider threats happen when someone inside the company, either intentionally or accidentally, causes harm. This could be a worker misusing data or falling for a scam. Security officers must use access controls, monitoring, and employee training to reduce these risks.
