Network Security

Is your network protected against attacks?

Locker Ransomware

Locker ransomware is designed to deny access to computing resources.
This typically takes the form of locking the computer’s or device’s user
interface and then asking the user to pay a fee in order to restore access to it.

Crypto Ransomware

This type of ransomware is designed to find and encrypt valuable data stored
on the computer, making the data useless unless the user obtains the decryption
key for a fee.

Rootkit

A rootkit is the hardest to detect and to remove; many experts recommend completely
wiping your hard drive and reinstalling everything from scratch. It is designed to
allow 100% control of your computer, steal your identity and more, without you
realizing anything is going on.

Virus

A virus is a contagious program or code that attaches itself to another piece of
software and then reproduces itself when that software is run. Most often, this is
spread by sharing software or files between computers.

Keyloggers

Records everything you type on your computer in order to glean your log-in names, passwords, and other sensitive information, and send it on to the source of the keylogging program.

Spyware

Spyware is software that spies on you, tracking your internet activities in order to send advertising (Adware) back to your system.

Rogue Security Software

This one deceives or misleads users. It pretends to be a good program to remove Malware infections, but all the while it is the Malware. Often it will turn off the real Anti-Virus software.

Worm

A program that replicates itself and destroys data and files on the computer. Worms work to “eat” the system operating files and data files until the drive is empty.

Trojan

Trojans are designed to discover your financial information, taking over your computer’s system resources, and in larger systems creating a “denial-of-service attack.”
Denial-of-service attack: an attempt to make a machine or network resource unavailable.

Browser Hijacker

This dangerous Malware will redirect your normal search activity and give you the results the criminals want you to see. Its intention is to make money off your web surfing.
Moreover, they will learn about your surfing habits, interests and when the computer is not in use.

Backdoors

Backdoors are much the same as Trojans or worms, except that they open a “backdoor” on a computer, providing a network connection for hackers or other Malware to enter or for viruses or SPAM to be sent.

Adware

The least dangerous and most lucrative Malware. Adware displays ads on your computer.
