What are three possible entry points (pathways) that could be used for launching a cyber attack?
Three possible entry points for launching a cyber attack are LAN, portable media, and wireless. The LAN can be exploited through vulnerabilities or misconfigurations, portable media such as USB drives can carry malware, and wireless networks can be targeted for unauthorized access.
Then the office LAN could allow access through a misconfigured firewall. How about infected third-party remote support that's been compromised? Then we have modems. You may think nobody uses modems anymore. However, we still find a lot of modems in our business. Most are not documented. Wireless. We're all using wireless in some form, that could be a way to get in. Infected laptops. That's not a direct connection to the internet, but there is a risk from portable media such as discs or USB sticks. IC32M page 29
