Have you considered how cyber-attacks target various layers of your network? Here’s a look at some common vulnerabilities: Application Layer : This layer is susceptible to exploits where attackers leverage software vulnerabilities. Presentation Layer : Phishing attacks can deceive users into disclosing sensitive information, putting data security at risk. Session Layer : Be cautious of hijacking, where attackers can take control of user sessions, gaining unauthorized access. Transport Layer : Reconnaissance attacks collect information about your system, often paving the way for larger and more damaging assaults.

Common Security Attacks in the OSI Model Have you considered how cyber-attacks target various layers of your network? Here’s a look at some common vulnerabilities: Application Layer : This layer is susceptible to exploits where attackers leverage software vulnerabilities. Presentation Layer : Phishing attacks can deceive users into disclosing sensitive information, putting data security at risk. Session Layer : Be cautious of hijacking, where attackers can take control of user sessions, gaining unauthorized access. Transport Layer : Reconnaissance attacks collect information about your system, often paving the way for larger and more damaging assaults. Network Layer : MITM (Man-in-the-Middle) attacks can intercept communications between systems, enabling eavesdropping and data theft. Data Link Layer : Spoofing allows attackers to masquerade as legitimate devices on your network, circumventing security protocols. Physical Layer : Attacks such as cable tapping and physical device tampering can compromise the integrity of your network infrastructure.
