Ransomware is a type of malware in which an attacker, or group of cybercriminals, will lock and usually encrypt a victim's data, important files and sometimes access to their device. The attacker(s) will then demand a ransom payment to unlock and decrypt data without leaking it on the dark ⟶

Ransomware as a Service (RaaS) is a subscription based business model between ransomware operators and their affiliates which enables the affiliates to use already developed ransomware tools to execute an attack in exchange for payment.

A Red Team is a group of cybersecurity professionals who simulate real-world cyberattacks to test an organization’s defenses. Their objective is to identify vulnerabilities, assess detection and response capabilities, and evaluate how well an organization can withstand a targeted attack. Unlike traditional security testing, Red Team exercises are designed ⟶

A Remote Access Trojan (RAT) is a type of malicious software that enables attackers to remotely control an infected device without the user’s knowledge.

The Rhysida ransomware group is a ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) operation that emerged in 2023 and has since carried out a series of high-impact, targeted attacks. The group has been linked to intrusions affecting healthcare, education, manufacturing, and public sector organizations, often selecting victims where operational disruption creates strong pressure to ⟶

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is a widely used access control model that restricts system access based on the roles assigned to individual users within an organization. In RBAC, access permissions are granted according to the user's role rather than being assigned directly to the user. This model streamlines access ⟶
