(UPI) Chapter 6: Types of Cybersecurity Threats

About this Course

In this chapter, we cover a comprehensive analysis of cybersecurity threats by reviewing the literature on cyber-attack techniques, introducing an offensive cybersecurity framework, and proposing a systematic scoring model to quantify the complexity of both fileless and APT cyber-attacks. It explains how various attack elements—from encryption to network, web, malware, and system techniques—are mapped onto frameworks like the Cyber Kill Chain and MITRE ATT&CK, ultimately comparing the scores of different cyber-attack cases.
