A cybersecurity risk assessment is an assessment of an individual’s or organisation's risk of being subject to a cyberattack, followed by a risk score. The risk assessment identifies areas of weakness and highlights these with recommended actions to improve the overall risk score.

Malware, phishing, MITM, SQL injection, password attacks, and denial of service are some of the most common types of cybersecurity threats.

Common types of malware includes viruses, worms, trojan horses, spyware, ransomware and keyloggers – and there are many more.

A firewall is a security system designed to prevent unauthorised access into or out of a computer network. Firewalls are often used to make sure internet users without access are not able to interface with private networks or intranets connected to the internet.

Password attacks are one of the most common forms of corporate and personal data breach. A password attack is simply when a hacker attempts to steal your password. In 2020, 81% of data breaches were due to compromised credentials.

Phishing refers to innovative scams to obtain data that can lead to corporate data breaches, credit card fraud, and identity theft. With phishing, the potential for reputational damage, legal action, and data privacy fines are high.

An HTTP status code is a server response to a browser’s request. When you visit a website, your browser sends a request to the site’s server, and the server then responds to the browser’s request with a three-digit code – the HTTP status code. These status codes are the internet equivalent of a conversation between your browser and the server. They communicate whether things between the two are healthy or compromised.
