Vulnerabilities:
Weak Authentication Mechanisms - Multiple accounts using default or weak passwords.
Misconfigured Firewalls - Open ports allowing unauthorized external connections.
Unpatched Software - Outdated operating systems and software increasing the attack surface.
Insider Threats - Employees accessing restricted data without proper authorization.
Unsecured Wireless Network - Lack of encryption in Wi-Fi settings.
Exposed APIs and Web Services - Lack of proper access control measures.
Threats:
Brute Force Attacks - Exploiting weak passwords for unauthorized access.
Phishing and Social Engineering Attacks - Employees targeted through malicious emails.
Ransomware Attacks - Unpatched systems susceptible to malware infections.
Denial-of-Service (DoS) Attacks - Attackers exploiting open ports to overload systems.
Distributed Denial-of-Service Attacks -
Man-in-the-Middle Attacks - Unsecured network traffic interception.
Insider Threats - Misuse of privileged accounts leading to data breaches.
Mitigating Strategies:
Implement Strong Password Policies - Require complex passwords and enable multi-factor authentication.
Regular Patch Management - Automate updates to ensure all systems remain protected.
Firewall Configuration Best Practices - Restrict open ports and enforce network segmentation.
Security Awareness Training - Educate employees on phishing attacks and insider threats.
Data Encryption Measures - Encrypt sensitive data in transit and at rest.
Conduct Periodic Security Audits - Regularly assess the network for new vulnerabilities.
