Cyber security refers to the tech, process, and application designed to protect networks, devices, programs, and data from attack, damage, or unauthorized access or snooping. Cyber security may also be referred to as information technology security. It is important because government, schools, military, banks, corporate, financial, and medical organizations collect, process, and store unprecedented amounts of data on computers and other devices. Now you may secure the computer by using a password. But as the technology hasdeveloped every device which is connected to the network i.e. internet is not secure at all. A significant portion of that data can be sensitive information, whether that be intellectual property, financial data, personal information of employee in cooperate sectors or student’s information in school or colleges or various other institutes, or other types of data like a customer data inshopping malls or shopping websites etc. for which unauthorized access or exposure could have negative consequences. Organizations transmit sensitive data across networks and to other devices in the course of doing businesses, and cyber security describes the discipline dedicated to protecting that information and the systems used to process or store it. As the volume of cyber-attacks grow, companies and organizations, especially those that are tasked with safeguarding information relating to national security, health, or financial records, need to take steps to protect their sensitive business and personnel information. As early as March 2013, the nation’s top intelligence officials cautioned that cyber-attacks and digital spying are the top threat to national security, eclipsing even terrorism. As all the organizations, and big cooperate companies are choosing to store their data on cloud which is easy to access from anywhere and easy to manage. Data on cloud reduces the risk toloose data physically. But this technology enhancement has increased the complexity in security purposes. Securing data on cloud need a whole new technology. In 2000 the count of number of new malware manufactured per day was 25. This count has increased to 2500000 per day in 2016. Due to sudden increase in malwares or viruses the security percentage of an application has decreased to 90% which was initially 95%. Now it may seem like a small count but each count matters. Now that IoT which is internet of thing has come up which is normal devices such as lights, microwave, fans or daily use tech or electronic devices used are also connected to the internet. Now the user can access these device using a remote or through their devices such as mobile orpc using the internet. So basically embedded devices increased the complexity for designing the device and to secure it.m With the increase in count of malicious activities needs the increase in count of man power to work on every malware being develop which is nearly impossible. Ever organization needs ananother whole team for security purposes.Type of security:1. Network security2. Application security3. Endpoint security4. Data security5. Identity management6.

Cyberterrorisms the disruptive use of information technology by terrorist groups to further their ideological or political agenda. BOTNET is the famous kind of attacks where botnet is the network of computers interconnected with each other and are include in malicious activities such as snooping around in cooperate or other big organizations and gain their data and then harass their owners to leak their data and ask for some amount of money. This takes the form of attacks on networks, computer systems and Cyberwarfare involves nation-states using information technology to penetrateanother nation’s networks to cause damage or disruption. This has become a common crime in today’s world. In the U.S. and many other nations, cyberwarfare has been acknowledged as the fifth domain of warfare (following land, sea, air and space). These is a very common concept being used in today’s world as countries are seeking information on other countries data on army forces or new technology for war being developed such as nuclear weapons and then using information against the country. Cyberwarfare attacks are primarily executed by hackers who are well-trained in exploiting the intricacies of computer networks, and operate under the auspices andsupport of nation-states. Rather than “shutting down” a target’s key networks, acyberwarfare attack may intrude into networks to compromise valuable data, degrade communications, impair such infrastructural services as transportation and medical services, or interrupt commerce.3. Cyberespionage is the practice of using information technology to obtain secret information without permission from its owners or holders. Cyberespionage is most often used to gain strategic, economic, political or military advantage, and is conducted using cracking techniques and malware.Address: 180 Orchard Hill Lane, Newport, VA 24128, USAE-Mail: Service: +1-805-303-1294 Sales: +1-845-579-0098
