Security

Prepared by : Rughani Zarana

What is cyber security?
 Cyber security standards are security standards which enable
organizations to practice safe security techniques to
minimize the number of successful cyber security attacks.

 Cyber security refers to the technologies and processes

designed to protect computers, networks and data from
unauthorized access, vulnerabilities and attacks delivered via
the Internet by cyber criminals.

 Though, cyber security is important for network, data and

application security.
What is…?
 Communication security-protecting organization
communication media , technology , and content.

 Network security-is the protection of networking

components, connection and content.

 Information security-protection of information and its

critical elements , including the systems and hardware
that use , store or transmit that information.

was sent over the Arpanet.

 The
first Virus was installed on an Apple
Computer in 1982.
Cyber crimes includes

Categorize of Cybercrime
 The Computer as a Target :
 using a computer to attack other
computers.
 The computer as a weapon :
 using a computer to commit real
world crimes.
Types of cyber crime

 HACKING
 DENIAL OF SERVICE ATTACK
 VIRUS DISSEMINITION
 COMPUTER VANDALISM
 CYBER TERRORISM
 SOFTWARE PIRACY
Hacking

 Hacking in simple terms means an

illegal intrusion into a computer
system and/or network. It is also
known as CRACKING.

 Government websites are the hot

targets of the hackers due to the
press coverage, it receives.
Hackers enjoy the media coverage.
DENIAL OF SERVICE ATTACK

 This is an act by the

criminal, who floods the
bandwidth of the victims
network or fills his e-mail
box with spam mail
depriving him of the
services he is entitled to
access or provide.
VIRUS DISSEMINITION

 Malicious software that

attaches itself to other
software or computer system
and then propagates itself to
other computers via networks
or disks.
 (virus, worms, Trojan Horse,
web jacking, e-mail bombing
etc).
COMPUTER VANDALISM

 Damaging or destroying
data rather than stealing
or misusing them is called
cyber vandalism.
Transmitting virus: These
are programs that attach
themselves to a file and
then circulate .
CYBER TERRORISM

 Terrorist attacks on the

Internet is by distributed
denial of service attacks,
hate websites and hate
emails, attacks on sensitive
computer networks, etc.
 Technology savvy
terrorists are using 512-bit
encryption, which is
impossible to decrypt.
SOFTWARE PIRACY

 Theft of software through

the illegal copying of
genuine programs or the
counterfeiting and
distribution of products
intended to pass for the
original.
Why should we care?
 It is a criminal activity committed on the internet.

 Cyber crime-Where computer is either a tool or

target or both.
How can we protect?
 Read Privacy policy carefully when you submit the
data through internet.

 Encryption: lots of website uses SSL (secure

socket layer)to encrypt a data.

 Disable remote connectivity.

Advantage of cyber
security
 It will defend from hacks and virus.

 The application of cyber security used in our PC

needs update every week.

 The security developers will update their database

every week once. Hence the new virus also
deleted.
Safety tips …
 Use antivirus software
 Insert firewalls , pop up blocker
 Uninstall unnecessary software
 Maintain backup
 Check security settings
 Use secure connection
 Open attachments carefully
 Use strong passwords , don’t give personal information
unless required
CYBER LAW OF INDIA
 Cyber crime can involve criminal activities
that are traditional in nature, such as theft,
fraud, deformation and mischief, all of which
are subjected to the India Penal code. In
simple way we can say that cyber crime is
unlawful acts where in the computer is either
a tool or both.
 The abuse of computer has also given birth
of new age crime that are addressed by the
Information Technology Act, 2000.
Conclusion
 Theonly system which is truly secure is
one which is switched off and unplugged.

 So, only way to be safe is Pay attention

and Act smart.
