Cross Site Scripting (XSS) is a very serious kind of security issue saying that they target websites as well as the users who are using them. To put it simply, XSS attacks means that a hacker was able to inject malicious scripts into a website. These scripts would then run in the user's browser, many a time without the user knowing about it. Most commonly, these attacks are aimed at stealing some sensitive information, impersonating the user, or just playing around with how the website looks or behaves.

In DNS spoofing, hackers will modify DNS records that are directing web traffic in a way that users will now be sent to fraudulent websites that may seem legitimate. Basically, DNS is the internet's phone book. However, DNS can be tricked. In DNS spoofing, the cybercriminals place false DNS records in the DNS server cache, which resolves and directs users to websites controlled by the attacker.

Managed Detection and Response is crucial in strengthening securing systems from cyber-attacks. MDR integrates latest technology that detects threats providing around-the-clock monitoring and speedy response to problems. To detect and eliminate advanced threats such as advanced persistent threats (APTs) and zero-day vulnerabilities, it resorts to a mix of automated tools and human intervention. These threats pose serious risk to organizations and their compliance to security requirements.
