Description: A malicious user is an individual who intentionally seeks to exploit vulnerabilities in systems, whether to gain unauthorized access, steal sensitive information, or cause damage to technological infrastructure. These users can be hackers, disgruntled employees, or even competitors looking to sabotage an organization. The main characteristics of a malicious user include the technical skill to identify and exploit security weaknesses, as well as the motivation to engage in illegal or harmful activities. In the context of cybersecurity, identifying and mitigating the threats posed by malicious users is crucial. This involves implementing robust security measures, such as multi-factor authentication, continuous monitoring, and behavior analysis, to protect data and resources. The relevance of addressing the issue of malicious users lies in the increasing use of online services by organizations, which expands the attack surface and the need for proactive security management.
