Cyberattack is an intentional attempt to compromise computer systems, networks, or digital devices by exploiting vulnerabilities or using malicious software.

These actions aim to gain unauthorized access, manipulate data, or cause operational disruption.
For security professionals, cyberattacks represent critical risks requiring proactive defense measures such as patching known vulnerabilities, monitoring network traffic for anomalies, and enforcing strong authentication.
