Abstract:
Technological evolution comes the progress of cybercrime, which continually develops new attack types, tools and techniques that allow attackers to penetrate more complex or well-controlled environments and produce increased damage and even remain untraceable. This paper provides in two different chapters an overview of techniques for analyzing, classifying the malware and different attack types and presents measures that each company must implement in order to ensure security. Organizations need to understand and protect themselves from many different types of threat actors, so it is valuable to know a little about them, their attributes, and the types of attacks they are likely to launch.
