Several types of cybersecurity threats can impact catalysis:
1. Phishing Attacks: These attacks trick researchers and employees into revealing sensitive information. 2. Ransomware: Malicious software can encrypt critical data, demanding payment to restore access. 3. Insider Threats: Employees or collaborators with access to sensitive data can intentionally or unintentionally cause security breaches. 4. Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs): These are prolonged and targeted cyber-attacks aimed at stealing data over time. 5. Supply Chain Attacks: Cybercriminals can target less secure partners or suppliers to gain access to primary systems.
