INTRODUCTION

Today man is able to send and receive any form of data may be an e-mail or an audio or video just by the click of a button but did he ever think how securely his data id being transmitted or sent to the other person safely without any leakage of information. The answer lies in cyber security. Present pandemic situation Internet is the fastest growing infrastructure in every day life. In today’s technical environment many latest technologies are changing the face of the man kind. But due to these emerging technologies we are unable to safeguard our private information in a very effective way and hence these days cyber crimes are increasing day by day. Today most of the commercial transactions are done online, so this field required a high quality of security for transparent and best transactions. Hence cyber security has become a latest issue. The scope of cyber security is not just limited to securing the information in IT industry but also to various other fields like cyber space etc.

The defense of computer systems from encroachment or harm to their hardware, software, or electronic data, or from the interruption or misdirection of services rendered is cyber security. The data protection system is comprised of technology, processes, and controls developed with the goal of protecting devices, networks, and data from cyber attacks.

Cybersecurity is more important as it is increasingly dependent on computers and the Internet and wireless networks such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi and because of the growth of mobile devices such as smarts, televisions, and other small devices. Good cyber security decreases the risk of cyber attacks.

WEB SERVERS

The threat of attacks on web applications to extract data or to distribute malevolent code persists. Cyber criminals distribute their malicious code via legitimate web servers they’ve compromised. But data-stealing attacks, many of which get the attention of media, are also a big threat. Now, we need a greater emphasis on protecting web servers and web applications. Web servers are especially the best platform for these cyber criminals to steal the data. Hence one must always use a safer browser especially during important transactions in order not to fall as a prey for these crimes.

SOCIAL MEDIA

As we become more social in an increasingly connected world, companies must find new ways to protect personal information. Social media plays a huge role in cyber security and will contribute a lot to personal cyber threats. Since social media used every day it has become a huge platform for the cyber criminals for hacking private information and stealing valuable data.

ACCESS CONTROL AND PASSWORD SECURITY

The concept of user name and password has been fundamental way of protecting our information. This may be one of the first measures regarding cyber security.

FIREWALLS

A firewall is a software program or piece of hardware that helps screen out hackers, viruses, and worms that try to reach your computer over the Internet. All messages entering or leaving the internet pass through the firewall present, which examines each message and blocks those that do not meet the specified security criteria. Hence firewalls play an important role in detecting the malware.

Cybersecurity offers safeguards against malicious attacks on a network, deletes and protects malicious elements in a preexisting network, prevents unauthorized network access, removes programming from other sources that may be compromised, as well as secures sensitive information.

• It protects against data theft since malicious users can not break the network architecture by implementing a high-security protocol.

Firewalls can be difficult to configure correctly, faulty configured firewalls may prohibit users from performing any behavior on the Internet before the Firewall is properly installed, and you will continue to upgrade the latest software to retain protection current, Cyber Protection can be expensive for ordinary users.

• Besides, cyber security would cost a significant number of users.

CONCLUSION

Computer security is a vast topic that is becoming more important because the world is becoming highly interconnected, with networks being used to carry out critical transactions. Cyber crime continues to diverge down different paths with each year that passes and so does the security of the information. The latest and disruptive technologies, along with the new cyber tools and threats that come to light each.
