4.0 Literature Review

The term cyber security is utilized to refer to the security offered through online services to guard
your online information. Cyber Security and Information Security differ only in their response
and Reduction/Prevention. Cyber security encompasses all aspects of security viz., Physical,
Technical, Environmental, Regulations, and Compliance including Third Parties involved in
delivering an objective With an increasing quantity of people getting connected to the Internet,
the security threats that generate massive harm are growing also.

• Then Formatting a report and after discussion we corrected in wrong information.
• And last we confirmed report by guide and make a final report and completed
the report.

6.0 Output of microproject:-

Why is cyber security important ?

Our world today is headed by technology and we can't do without it at all. From booking our flight tickets
to catching up with an old friend, technology plays a crucial role in it. However, the same technology may
expose you when it's vulnerable and could lead to the loss of essential data. Cyber security, alongside
physical commercial security, has thus, slowly and steadily, become one of the most essential topics in the
business industry to be talked about Cyber security is essential since it aids in securing data from threats
such as data theft or misuse, also safeguards your system from viruses.

Cyber security becomes necessary as Businesses are being carried out now on a Network of Networks.
Computer networks have always been the target of criminals, and it is likely that the danger of cyber
security breaking will only rise in the future as these networks grow, but there are reasonable precautions
that organizations can take to minimize losses from those who desire to do harm.

Cyber Security Objectives

Confidentiality
the property that information is not created available or revealed to unauthorized individuals, entities, or
processes Confidentiality refers to guarding information against being accessed by unauthorized parties.
In other words, only the people who are authorized to do so can achieve access to sensitive data. A failure
to maintain confidentiality means that someone who shouldn't have access has managed to get it, through
intentional behavior or by accident. Such a failure of confidentiality is commonly known as a breach.

Integrity
the property of safeguarding the precision and completeness of assets Integrity refers to assuring the
authenticity of information—that information is not altered, and that the origin of the information is
authentic. Imagine that you have a website and you sell products on that site. Now imagine that an
attacker can shop on your website and maliciously alter the prices of your products so that they can buy
anything for whatever price they decide. That would be a failure of integrity because your data, in this
case, the price of a product has been changed and you didn't authorize this alteration.

Cyberattack
A malicious attempt, using digital technologies, to cause personal or property loss or damage, and/or steal or alter
confidential personal or organizational data

Major security problems

• Virus
• Hacker
• Malware
• Trojan horses
• Password cracking

1. Viruses and worms

• Virus - malware linked to a carrier such as an email message or a word processing document
• A Virus is a "program that is crowded onto your a computer without your understanding and runs
against your desires
• Worm - malware can autonomously circulate itself without a carrier, using information about connected
computers.

Solution
• Install a security suite that protects the computer against threats such as viruses and worms.

2. Hackers
• In common a hacker is an individual who violates computers, usually by gaining access to
administrative controls.

Types of Hackers
• White Hat Hacker
• Grey Hat Hacker
• Black Hat Hacker

a. White Hat Hackers

• The term "white hat" in Internet slang refers to an ethical computer hacker, or a computer security
professional, who specializes in penetration testing and in other testing methodologies to ensure the
security of an organization's information systems.

b. Grey Hat Hackers

• The term "grey hat", "grey hat" or "gray hat" refers to a computer hacker or computer security
specialist who may sometimes break laws or typical ethical standards, but does not have the malicious
intent typical of a black hat hacker.

c. Black Hat Hacker

• A black hat hacker (or black-hat hacker) is a hacker who "violates computer shield for little cause beyond
maliciousness or for personal gain".

How To prevent hacking

• It may be impossible to prevent computer hacking, however influential security controls including
strong passwords, and the use of firewalls can aid.

Securing Password
• Use always a Strong password.
•Never use the exact password for two different sites.

Insider attacks
Attacks on an organization are carried out by individual who is inside that organization either by
themselves or with the connivance of an outsider. Difficult to oppose using technical processes as the
insider may have proper credentials to access the system.

External attacks
Attacks on an organization carried out by an external agent Need either accurate credentials or the
exploitation of some vulnerability to gain access to the systems.

Malicious and accidental damage

Cybersecurity is most concerned with Cyberattacks and Cyber accidents - Accidental events
that can generate loss or damage to a person, business, or public body. Many of the same technologies
utilized to protect against external attacks also protect against cyber accidents. However, sometimes
protecting against cyber-attacks raises the probability of cyber accidents.

Latest Trends - Information Security Threats

Hack Hacktivism
Hack + Activism = Hacktivism is the usage of legal and/or illegal digital tools in pursuit of a political/
personal objective

Tools and Attacks are utilized for

• website defacements

Hacking and altering the website of a company's website

• Redirects

• Denial of Service Attacks

Attempt to create a machine or network resource unavailable to its intended users typically target sites
or services hosted on high-profile web servers such as banks, credit card payment gateways, and even
root nameservers.

• Identity Theft

Stealing someone's identity in which someone pretends to be someone else by assuming that person's
identity

• E-mail Bombing

• Web-Site Mirroring

• Doxing

Process of Gathering and discharging Personally Identifiable information To gather information using
sources on the internet

Key Techniques Used

Phishing - attempt to obtain sensitive information, like bank account information or an account
password, by posing as an honest entity in an electronic communication

You get an email that looks like it comes from your bank, credit card company, etc. Asking you to
"update their records" may be due to potential scams, or other reasons Provides a hyperlink to a web
page where you enter your personal information The link takes you to a thief's website that is
disguised to look like the company's.
