Malware Attack In Cyber Security Training Ppt

Slide 2

This slide introduces malware. Malware is any software intentionally created to disrupt a computer, server, client, or computer network, etc.

Slide 3

This slide tells us how malware is harmful to your devices. Malware can infect devices and networks and is designed with the intention of harming these networks, devices, and/or their users.

Slide 4

This slide gives information on how malwares are spread. Threat actors use physical and virtual means to spread malware that infects networks and devices.

Slide 5

This slide depicts leading malware carriers. Emails account for the majority (about 92%) of the spread of malwares. 

Slide 6

This slide highlights types of malware. These are viruses, adware, rootkit, spyware, ransomware, etc. 

Instructor’s Notes: 

• Virus: A virus is the most prevalent form of malware that executes itself and spreads by infecting other files or programs
• Adware: Adware keeps track of a user's download history and browsing habits, intending to display pop-up or banner ads that tempt the users to make a purchase. For instance, an advertiser may use cookies to track the web pages a user visits to target advertising
• Rootkit: A rootkit gains system administrator privileges for the victim's system. After it is installed, the program provides threat actors the root or privileged access to the user's system
• Spyware: Spyware gathers information and data about the device and user and observes the user's activity without their knowledge
• Ransomware: When ransomware infects a user's system, it encrypts its data. The victim is then told to pay a ransom to the cybercriminals to have the data on the system decrypted
• Trojan Horse: A Trojan Horse is made to seem like a legitimate software program so as to gain access to a system. Trojans can execute malicious functions once activated following installation
• Remote Access: Remote Access Trojan (RAT), or a backdoor virus, discreetly creates a backdoor into an infected computer system that allows threat actors to access it remotely without warning the user or the system's security programs
• Worm: A worm is able to self-replicate without a host program and spreads without interacting with the malware authors
• Keylogger: Keyloggers, or system monitors, track almost everything a user does on their computer, including emails, opened web pages, programs, and keystrokes

Slide 7

This slide depicts leading types of malware infecting android. The most common type are trojans that account for about 92% of the attacks or infections. 

Slide 8

This slide gives information about how to detect a malware. Users can detect malware if they observe unusual activity, such as prolonged delays, sudden loss of disk space, repeated crashes, frequent hanging of the system, increased unwanted internet activity, and pop-up advertisements

Slide 9

This slide highlights a six-step response plan for malwares. These steps are: Identify, communicate, block, restore, recover, and re-examine.

Slide 10

This slide tells us ways to remove a malware. Many security software products are designed to detect, prevent and remove malware from infected systems.  

Slide 11

This slide talks about the ways to prevent a malware infection. Companies should implement dual approval for business-to-business (B2B) transactions and second-channel verification for business-to-consumer (B2C) transactions.

Slide 12

This slide discusses malware infections on mobile devices. Malware can infect mobile phones and provide access to a device's components, such as the microphone, camera, GPS, etc.
