Cybersecurity is becoming more of a common tongue term in today's industry. It is being passed around the executive meetings along with financial information and projected marketing strategies. Here are some common attack vectors plaguing the industry when it comes to network infrastructure. It does not really matter the infrastructure type you have. If there is value to the data you are transferring within, someone wants to get it.
- Reconnaissance Attacks
- Access Attacks
- Denial of Service Attacks
It is a pipe dream to believe a network infrastructure is invulnerable; however, the possibility of being protected is within grasp. Fundamentally, it comes down to knowledge of what can happen to your network, knowing your equipment and training up the staff.

Remember the good old days, when CPU was singular?

Actually it can be, if it can be shown the intent of doing so was to further commit a crime. Accidentally opening the wrong car door because you own the same model and you're parked in the lot isn't itself a crime (although you may, depending on circumstances and the cops involved need to fight it in court). But if you are going around trying car doors at random then the police could argue you were attempting burglary. It's like the "burglary tools" laws. It's not illegal to carry a pry-bar. It is illegal to carry one for the purposes of breaking in.
