Intrusion

Computer intrusions occur when someone tries to gain access to any part of your computer system.

Computer intruders or hackers typically use automated computer programs when they try to compromise a computer’s security. There are several ways an intruder can try to gain access to your computer. They can:

1. Access your computer to view, change, or delete information on your computer.
2. Crash or slow down your computer.
3. Access your private data by examining the files on your system.
4. Use your computer to access other computers on the Internet.

A network intrusion refers to any unauthorized activity on a digital network. Network intrusions often involve stealing valuable network resources and almost always jeopardize the security of networks and/or their data.

An intrusion is any activity that is designed to compromise your data security. This can be through more menacing and pervasive formats like ransomware or unintentional data breaches by employees or others connected to your network.
