Definitions

Other International Definitions

ITU-T

(Cyber) attack are the activities undertaken to bypass or exploit deficiencies in a system's security mechanisms. [1]

By a direct attack on a system they exploit deficiencies in the underlying algorithms, principles, or properties of a security mechanism. Indirect attacks are performed

when they bypass the mechanism, or when they make the system use the mechanism incorrectly.

Attaque: Activités entreprises pour contourner ou exploiter des déficiences constatées dans les mécanismes de sécurité d'un système. [2]


Ataque: Actividades realizadas para obviar los mecanismos de seguridad de un sistema o aprovechar sus deficiencias. [3]


攻击: 为绕过一个系统的安全机制或利用其漏洞而采取的行动. [4]

National Cyber Security Strategy
A cyber attack is an IT attack in cyberspace directed against one or several other IT systems and aimed at damaging IT security. [9]

Ein Cyber-Angriff ist ein IT-Angriff im Cyber-Raum, der sich gegen einen oder mehrere andere IT-Systeme richtet und zum Ziel hat, die IT-Sicherheit zu brechen. [10]
BSI
Cyber attacks are attacks carried out in cyberspace through tools, services, or applications in cyberspace; in the process, cyberspace can be origin, target or the environment of the attack. [11]


Japan

攻撃: インテリジェントな脅威、すなわちセキュリティサービスを回避し、システムのセキュリティポリシーを侵害する故意の試み(特に、方式あるいは技法という意味において)としてのインテリジェントな動作によってもたらされるセキュリティシステムへの攻撃.

(Cyber) attack is an assault on system security that derives from an intelligent threat, i.e., an intelligent act that is a deliberate attempt (especially in the sense of a method or technique) to evade security services and violate the security policy of a system. [12]


Romania

Atac cybernetic: acţiune ostilă desfăşurată în spaţiul cibernetic de natură să afecteze securitatea cibernetică. [13]


Turkey

Siber saldırı: Ulusal siber uzayda bulunan bilişim sistemlerinin gizlilik, bütünlük veya erişilebilirliğini ortadan kaldırmak amacıyla, siber uzayın her hangi bir yerindeki kişi ve/veya bilişim sistemleri tarafından kasıtlı olarak yapılan işlemleri. [14]


United Kingdom

Cyber attack can refer to anything from small-scale email scams through to sophisticated largescale attacks with diverse political and economic motives. Large-scale attacks may have a number of interrelated aims such as: gaining unauthorised access to sensitive information; causing disruption to IT infrastructure; or causing physical disruption (e.g. to industrial systems). [15]


United States

NIST
Cyber attack is an attack, via cyberspace, targeting an enterprise’s use of cyberspace for the purpose of disrupting, disabling, destroying, or maliciously controlling a computing environment/infrastructure; or destroying the integrity of the data or stealing controlled information. [16]


An attack is an attempt to gain unauthorized access to system services, resources, or information, or an attempt to compromise system integrity, availability, or confidentiality. [17]
