Analysis of the relevance and state of modern phishing attacks on critical information infrastructure facilities
Incoming article date: 16.04.2024The article analyzes the relevance and state of modern phishing attacks on critical information infrastructure (CII) facilities. Phishing, as one of the most common types of cyber attacks, poses a serious threat to the security of information systems and data. The purpose of the study is to identify the main characteristics and tactics of phishing attacks, as well as to assess the level of protection of the OKII from this type of threat. The research uses data on the latest phishing trends and methods collected from various sources, including cybersecurity reports, incident statistics and analysis of successful attacks. The main focus is on analyzing the targets of phishing attacks in the context of their importance for ensuring the continuous operation of critical information infrastructure. Based on the analysis, recommendations are formulated to improve protection systems against phishing attacks for critical information infrastructure facilities. The purpose of this study is to raise awareness among cybersecurity professionals and security policy makers about the emerging risks of phishing. In addition, the main task is to ensure effective protection of information resources, which are an integral part of the functioning of critical infrastructure.
