Description: Malicious traffic refers to data packets sent with the intent to harm or exploit systems. This type of traffic can manifest in various forms, including malware, denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, phishing, and other methods aimed at compromising the security of a network or system. Malicious traffic is a constant concern for organizations, as it can lead to data loss, operational disruptions, and damage to reputation. The main characteristics of malicious traffic include its covert nature, the ability to evade detection systems, and its potential to cause significant harm. The relevance of malicious traffic has grown with the increase in digitalization and reliance on information technologies, leading to the need for robust security measures and proactive defense strategies. In the context of cybersecurity, identifying and mitigating malicious traffic is essential to protect digital assets and ensure the integrity of systems.
