First of all, what is a threat? The definition of a threat is: a person or thing likely to cause damage. A cyber attacker profits from stealing your data then selling the information online or buying it to do harm.

Top Cyber Threats include:
• External attacks – botnet attack, web app seizures, stolen credentials (usually from phishing malware), and exploited vulnerabilities.
• Insider incidents – either maliciously like changing or stealing data, or unwittingly through gaining access a user should not have had.
• Third-party attack – partners, suppliers, contractors, and even clients who push their own compromises into your environment.
• Lost or Stolen assets – when the device is out of sight, anyone can access the data.

If we lose visibility and control, risks become more likely; when risks become more likely, they turn into threats. It all about visibility and control.
