Launching a cyber attack on an IT system or network has many similarities with infiltrating a physical building or location. For one, the attackers need a way to gain access to the inside — whether sneaking through a ground-floor window or exploiting a hidden vulnerability in a software application. Gaining access is a crucial step in cyber attacks, which means that ethical hackers need to be familiar with how it works and the most popular techniques for gaining access. Below, we’ll discuss the definition of gaining access in cyber security, the ways to safeguard IT environments from attackers gaining access, and more.
