Attackers continually evolve their strategies to exploit vulnerabilities beyond traditional social engineering and human-targeted hacking. They increasingly take advantage of weaknesses in network infrastructures and supply chains. Attack methods generally fall into two categories:
  • Local Attacks: Directly target systems through physical access.
  • Remote Attacks: Exploit vulnerabilities via network access, often bypassing conventional security measures.
A secure network adheres to the foundational principles of the CIA triad:
  • Confidentiality: Ensuring that sensitive information is not disclosed to unauthorized individuals.
  • Integrity: Maintaining the accuracy and consistency of stored data.
  • Availability: Guaranteeing reliable and timely access to data and resources.
Failure to secure these aspects exposes the network to various risks and potential breaches. Potential network threat vectors include:
  • Wired Connections: Direct physical access can lead to hacking and data interception.
  • Wireless Connections: Susceptible to eavesdropping and unauthorized access due to their broadcast nature.
  • Bluetooth: Introduces additional risks through proximity-based exploits.
The image shows a diagram titled "Network Vectors," illustrating three types of vectors: Wired, Wireless, and Bluetooth, each with corresponding icons.
Regular network security audits and prompt infrastructure updates are vital to mitigate these threat vectors and maintain robust security measures.
