A brute-force attack is a cybersecurity threat in which an attacker systematically tries every possible password or key combination to gain unauthorized access to an account or system. Security professionals defend against these attacks using techniques like account lockouts, rate limiting, CAPTCHAs, and enforcing strong password policies.
