Investigate Methods of Attack and Resulting Consequences Name: Institutional Affiliation: Course: Date: Investigate Methods of Attack and Resulting Consequences Introduction Technological advancement has facilitated rapid growth of computer technology thus promoting early development of the internet technology. It has resulted in most people becoming aware of the various types of attacks and how beneficial it can be to them. A computer attack only means that someone is attempting to alter expose steal make unauthorized access destroy gain unauthorized access or even disable a particular asset. In the modern society today both the public and private sectors wholly depend on the computers for information. As a result there have been frequent attacks with some being difficult to deal with. It is vital for executives responsible in security implementation to know the frequent attacks they face. Examples of attacks include Spear Phishing network attacks Botnets intrusion attacks social engineering attacks DDOS on the environment health industry as well as the economy. Various situations have facilitated such attacks to happen. In 2009 for instance President George W. Bush participated in the Global War on Terrorism. It merely indicates that most nations are facing problems in curbing such issues. It is crucial for the government to establish harsh treatments on such hackers to prevent more attacks from taking place. References Chamudeeswari R. & Sumathi D. (2017).

Order Description:
For this assignment, begin by reviewing studies that address the different kinds of attacks to include network attacks, intrusion attacks, social engineering attacks, and cyber-attacks. Once this has been completed, write a paper that responds to the following: Compare and contrast at least three of these various attacks. Evaluate the effectiveness of each type of attack. Provide an explanation of the weaknesses that each of these attacks exploit, along with the consequences of such an attack. Provide examples to illustrate your findings. Determine which of these attacks could be used in combination as a coordinated attack. Support your paper with at least five (5) scholarly resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including older articles, may be included.
