Cyber Security: Attack Vectors

Cyber attacks against businesses come in many and varied forms, all of which are covered in our security audits and strategies. Common routes of access, or attack vectors, a hacker (or cracker) might take include installing malicious code on servers, websites, or network infrastructure, or using brute force attacks to overload and crash servers and infrastructure.

Often, an attack will exploit weak security or access control policies by simply manipulating staff into divulging login credentials and other sensitive information. A hacker employing any of these attack vectors can cause a serious data breach, loss of information, or service outage. In extreme cases, the entire business can be jeopardised. Ekotech have the expertise to identify potential attack vectors and create an IT security strategy to combat them.
