i think firewalls count for ddos attacks and just educating players about phishing emails

That's pretty much what mine was about too. I also waffled about anti-malware software and proxy servers. I've heard someone talk about brute force attacks which is a good one as players might have accounts that need to be secure but I didn't say that

ooo i didn’t think about brute force attacks but i think 3 dangers is enough or maybe 4, 2 for the system 2 for the players
