Abstract: The Internet interconnections’ exponential growth has resulted in an increase in cyber-attack occurrences with mostly devastating consequences. Malware is a common tool for performing these attacks in cyberspace. The malefactors would either exploit the present weaknesses or employ the distinctive characteristics of the developing technologies. The cybersecurity community should increase their knowledge on the types and arsenals of cyber-attacks, and security measures against cyber-attacks should be in place as well. Also, advanced and effective malware defense mechanisms should be established. Hence, this study reviews cyber-attack types, measures and security precautions, and professional extrapolations on cyber-attacks future and the associated security measures. Semi-structured interviews were performed, involving five IT managers and nine Cybersecurity Consultants, to obtain the data. The study findings demonstrate prevention as key for data breach risk prevention. Knowledge of common attack methods and the use of cybersecurity software can facilitate individuals and organizations in thwarting hackers and in preserving their data privacy. Two-factor authorization by consumers and new back-end security protocols and security methods, including Artificial intelligence (AI) application, will encumber hacking attempts.
