 WHAT IS CYBER SECURITY?

CYBER
CYBER SECURITY
SECURITY

• CYBER: Related to the culture of computers , IT

and virtual reality.
• SECURITY: State of being free from worries
 CYBER SECURITY:

• Protection of computers &

other technological devices
like data, networks ,servers
etc.

• Formal definition:
• It is a process designed to
protect networks and
networking devices from attack
,damage or unauthorized
access.
 CYBER SPACE

A place that is not real, where electronic
messages exist while they are being sent
from one computer to another.


Comparatively data is less secured in
cyberspace and can be stole easily.


Thus minimal technical skills are enough to
steal data.
WHY CYBER SECURITY IS NEEDED?
• In INDIA during Lockdown 2020, 11,58,208 Cyber
attacks are happened.
• In 2021 the worst attack happened, that is
“Poly Network exploit” a group of anonymous
hackers transferred over $160 million
cryptocurrencies. All assets are eventually returned
over the following two weeks.
• On 2022 a hacker stole INR 7.3 Cr Rupees from
“RAZORPAY” over a period of three months.
 2023 latest data breaches......

Slack Github account hack.

Data of 228 Million Deezer User
Stolen.

Twitter leaks data on 200 million
users.

Malware targets 30+ word press
plugins.
 ASPECTS OF
CYBER SECURITY

• Three main aspects of

cybersecurity are:

• Unauthorized access
• Unauthorized deletion
• Unauthorized modification
 AUTHENTICATION
• Authentication is the process of verifying the
identity of a person or device.

• Authentication is the process that determines

whether users are who they claim to be.

• Authentication is often followed by

authorization..
 AUTHORIZATION
• It is a security mechanism used to determine user
privileges or access levels, related to system
resources.
• Authorization is the process that determines what
users can and cannot access.
• Authorization is often preceded by authentication.

E.g.: The password verification step in opening a

mail is authentication and if the password, that you
entered happens to be correct , you will be
CAPTCHA
HOW IT WORKS......
COMPONENTS OF
CYBER SECURITY
• Cyber security is divided into :
• Network security
• Application security
• Disaster recovery
• Operation security and
• Information security
 • CYBER SECURITY:
• (i)To protect the
resources(data and devices) from
attacks in cyberspace.
• (ii)Concerned with
analyzing attacks and framing
security measures, to prevent such
attacks in future.

• INFORMATION SECURITY:
• (i)To protect data from
any sort of threats.
• (ii)Prioritizes data first
rather than concerning attacks.

CYBER
SECURITY AND
INFORMATION
SECURITY
PRINCIPLES OF CYBER SECURITY
 CONFIDENTIALITY: (privacy)

It is the security principle or set of rules that control

access to information.

Integrity: (correctness, accuracy, consistency)

(i)Maintaining the accuracy and
consistency of data over its entire lifetime.
(ii)Unauthorized modifications should not
occur.

Availability:
Ability of the user to access information
or resources in the correct format as and when they
need them.
 THREATS
A threat in cybersecurity is an malicious activity
by an individual organization to corrupt or steal
data, gain access to a network, or disrupts digital
life in general.

Types of threats:


Malware


Phishing


Man-in-the-middle(MITM) attack


Distriubuted denial of attack


Brute force


SQLI
 3 Calculations....
Vulnerability:

Vulnerability refers to the weekness of the asset the can

be exploited by one or more attacker.

Threat:

A threat is any event that has potential to bring harm to

an organisation or induvidual.

Risk:

Risk refers to the potential for loss or damage when a

threat exploits a vunerablity.
 The short Defenition........

Risk = Threat X Vulnerability
