Active vs. Passive Attacks: Cyber Security Explained Simply

Not all cyber attacks work the same way. In this video, we break down the two main categories of security threats: Active and Passive Attacks.
In this video, you will learn:
• What is a Passive Attack? Learn how attackers secretly observe your information without changing it. Because nothing is altered, these are incredibly hard to detect. We cover examples like eavesdropping and network sniffing.
• What is an Active Attack? Understand aggressive attacks that modify, delete, or disrupt your data. We discuss serious threats like Denial of Service (DoS), malware injection, and Man-in-the-Middle attacks.
• How to Protect Yourself: We provide simple prevention tips for both, including the use of encryption, firewalls, and strong authentication.
Whether you are a student or just looking to protect your digital life, understanding these differences is the first step toward better security.
