Cyber civilization has become an important source of information exchange and professional activities such as business, banking, shopping, services and advertising. With the exponential increase in the use of cyberspace, the activities of cybercriminals are also increasing exponentially.

Due to this high dependency on the Internet, there are major issues related to Internet or Cybersecurity. Following are the common security threats that are faced.

    • BotNet
    • Cyptojacking
    • Ransomware
    • Worms
    • Phishing
    • Ddos Attack.
    • Advanced Persistent Threats

Cyber-attacks can happen for multiple reasons, some of the reason are:-

    • The hacker just wants to gain some fame or wants to satisfy self-ego.
    • The hacker ants to make quick money.
    • Hacker wants to damage the organization or the government.

Cyber-attacks can be countered with following methods.

    • Encryption
    • Data Loss Prevention.
    • Access Management.
    • Firewalls
    • Antivirus and Malware solutions.
    • Risk and Compliance Management.

According to my understanding, whatever the technology is, even though we follow any security protocols or whatever we try to make the network to 100% secured, someone will always find a way to bypass the security and infiltrate the environment. We if someone manage to make the network 100% secured, someone can just use social engineering skills to make the employee of the organizations give up the data, either by blackmailing them or offering huge amount of money.
