ABSTRACT:

Information security awareness can play an important role in

facing cyber-attacks by intruders. The main goal of this paper is
to analyse the information security awareness among academic
staff, researchers, undergraduate students and employee
within educational environments in the Middle East in an
attempt to understand the level of awareness of information
security, the associated risks and overall impact on the
institutions. The results reveal that the participants do not have
the requisite knowledge and understanding of the importance
of information security principles and their practical application
in their day-to-day work. This situation can however be
corrected through
Comprehensive awareness and training programs as well as
adopting all the necessary safety measures at all levels of the
institution to ensure that the students, academic staff and
employees are trustworthy, technology savvy and keep their
data safe. Without such training programs and awareness,
there will be negative consequences on IT systems and their
application usage, as well as on users’ personal security now
and in the future. From the weaknesses identified in this
survey, some essential recommendations are put forward to
remedy the situation.
INTRODUCTION

The crime that involves and uses computer devices and

Internet, is known as cybercrime.
Cybercrime can be committed against an individual or a group;
it can also be committed against government and private
organizations. It may be intended to harm someone’s
reputation, physical harm, or even mental harm.
Cybercrime can cause direct harm or indirect harm to whoever
the victim is.
However, the largest threat of cybercrime is on the financial
security of an individual as well as the government.
Cybercrime causes loss of billions of USD every year.
CYBER SECURITY

Cyber security is a potential activity by which information and

other communication systems are protected from and/or
defended against the unauthorized use or modification or
exploitation or even theft.
Likewise, cyber security is a well-designed technique to protect
computers, networks, different programs, personal data, etc.,
from unauthorized access.
All sorts of data whether it is government, corporate, or
personal need high security; however, some of the data, which
belongs to the government defense system, banks, defense
research and development organization, etc. Are highly
confidential and even small amount of negligence to these data
may cause great damage to the whole nation. Therefore, such
data need security at a very high level.
HOW TO SECURE DATA?

Let us now discuss how to secure data. In order to make your

security system strong, you need to pay attention to the
following –
● Security Architecture
● Network Diagram
● Security Assessment Procedure
● Security Policies
● Risk Management PPolic
● Backup and Restore Procedures
● Disaster Recovery Plan
● Risk Assessment Procedures
Once you have a complete blueprint of the points mentioned
above, you can put better security system to your data and can
also retrieve your data if something goes wrong.
Methodology

Primary data: self-created data, surveys, experiments

specifically designed to understand and
Solve the research problem.
Secondary Data: Using existing data generated by major
government institutions, healthcare
Facilities, etc. As part of organisational records. The data is then
pulled from more disparate
Data files.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

Cyber security has advanced greatly in recent years In order to

keep up with the rapid changes that Occur in cyberspace.cyber
security refers to the Methods that country or organisation can
use to Safeguard its products and information in
Cyberspace.Two decades ago term ‘cyber security ‘was barely
Recognized by the general public.Cyber Security is not just a
problem that affects individuals But it also Applies to an
organisation’s or a Government. Everything has recently been
dignized Cybernetics Employing a variety of technologies Such
as cloud computing, smartphones,and internet Of things
Techniques,among others. Cyber-attack Are raising concerns
about privacy, security,and Financial Compensation. Cyber
security is a set of Technologies, processes, and practices aimed
at Preventing Attacks, damage,and illegal access to Networks,
computer, programmes,and data.ThePrimary goal of This
article is to conduct a thorough

TYPES OF CYBERCRIME
Let us now discuss the major types of cybercrime –
● Hacking
It is an illegal practice by which a hacker breaches The
computer’s security system of someone for Personal interest.
● Unwarranted mass-surveillance
Mass surveillance means surveillance of a
Substantial fraction of a group of people by the Authority
especially for the security purpose, but
If someone does it for personal interest, it is Considered as
cybercrime.
● Child pornography
It is one of the most heinous crimes that is Brazenly practiced
across the world. Children are Sexually abused and videos are
being made and Uploaded on the Internet.
