Likewise, there are varied reasons and purposes behind these attacks. The prime reasons behind cyber attacks can be categorized into 6 types which we have mentioned below:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Making a Political or Social Point:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Hackers can attack everything from governments, politicians, society, and big brand companies to current affairs to vent their anger or criticism on them. If they disagree with them, they prefer to strike their targets by crashing their websites. Making a political or social point is the reason behind such attacks.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Intellectual Challenge:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This community of individuals, is quite similar to radical hackers. They conduct cyber attacks for the attention and admiration of peers by means of challenging network security.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Organizational Competition: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Organizational competition is one of the major reasons why DDoS attacks are being used as a competitive business tool. Cyber attackers tend to hit business competitors by participating in big events, while some of these attackers are motivated to shut down the complete online business of the competitors for months. In either case, the main idea is to cause disruption in the technical structure and damage the reputation.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Financial Gain:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> One of the biggest reasons to attack is to gain a financial advantage from an organization. Almost three-quarters of all cyber attacks are conducted to gain financially through stealing money directly from financial accounts, stealing credit card information, demanding ransom, etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Cyber Warfare:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> To gain a strategic position over an enemy country, state-sponsored cyber attacks are conducted. This is a means of suppressing government critics and internal opposition. This is considered a cyberwar between states to undermine important financial, health, and infrastructure services. Tech-savvy professionals are appointed to cause well-planned cyber attacks on government funds.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>How to Protect Your Organization Against Cyber Attacks?<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Security Assessment:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It is important to conduct security assessments from time to time in your organization. The assessment actually helps in establishing a baseline and closing existing vulnerabilities.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Block Email Phishing:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 90% of data breaches and compromises are caused by <span style=\"color: #183994;\"><a style=\"color: #183994;\" href=\"https:\/\/threatcop.com\/blog\/phishing-attacks\/\"><strong>phishing attacks<\/strong><\/a><\/span>. Therefore, secure your organization by blocking phishing emails. Always avoid clicking or downloading suspicious email attachments to stop phishing attacks.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Enable Multi-Factor Authentication:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It adds an extra layer of security so that your data stays safe even when your password is hacked.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>System Updates:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Keep your operating system and software always updated with the latest security patches and versions for better security.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Physical Security:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Often overlooked by organizations, maintaining physical security is very important. Because unattended IT devices or servers, if accessed by someone other than an authorized person, may cause data theft or cyber attacks later on.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Implement Encryption:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> To secure your organization against cyber attacks, you must keep all the data and devices encrypted.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Cyber Insurance:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Cyber insurance can protect you from any financial loss caused by cyber attacks. It will help you save your income and business with cyber damage and recovery policies against any cyber security incident.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Cyber Security Awareness Training: <\/strong>Educate every worker in the organization on cybersecurity awareness.
