Abstract

The digital transformation, in all its aspects, is accompanied by a rapid growth of cyber threats and attacks on various critical infrastructure facilities. Some of cyberattacks target personal data, operations management processes, financial reporting results, etc., having as a final objective monetization of the results. Accordingly, there is a need for a complex and comprehensive analysis of information, which presents key aspects of cyber-attacks. The current paper presents the results of a study aimed to identify and analyze possible scenarios, stages and facets of cyberattacks, highlighting potential motives, goals, objects, means of attack, specific actions, as well as the final potential results of cyber-attacks.
