# Other Threat Vectors
> Attackers exploit vulnerabilities in network infrastructures and supply chains, evolving beyond traditional social engineering and human-targeted hacking.
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.
Regular network security audits and prompt infrastructure updates are vital to mitigate these threat vectors and maintain robust security measures.
