Description: Network threat refers to any potential danger that could compromise the security of a computer network. This includes a wide range of risks, from cyberattacks such as malware and ransomware to vulnerabilities in software and inadequate configurations. Network threats can be internal, originating from employees or systems within the organization, or external, coming from malicious actors seeking to exploit weaknesses in the network infrastructure. Identifying and mitigating these threats is essential to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data and systems. In an increasingly interconnected environment, where organizations rely on the cloud and complex networks, managing network threats has become a critical priority. Security solutions such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and encryption technologies are implemented to safeguard networks against these threats. Additionally, education and awareness about security are fundamental for users to understand risks and adopt safe practices in their interaction with the network.
