Three important cybersecurity issues are malware. phishing, and denial of service attacks. These attacks are commonly performed, as well as malware and phishing attacks involve the companies’ own associates to neglect security policies or not have adequate training to recognize such attacks. Both phishing and malware aim to steal company data and put the company at risk of large costs to correct such data loss. Denial of service attacks can ransom the companies’ entire network or keep the network unavailable and has the chance to put the company out of business.

Proper training of staff to spot network attacks is required to lessen the possibility of malware and phishing attacks. As well as filtering packets with external sources to lessen the chance of denial-of-service attacks.
