To protect systems, networks, data, etc from cyberattacks is cyber security.
For cyber security technologies, processes are used to protect against cyber attacks.
With the advancement of technology, each and every sector is digitalizing and going to be network-based. More and more sectors going towards digitalization, more and more cyber threats are there. Sectors like finance, defense, intelligence are more prone to cyber threats.
Nowadays we are hearing financial fraud on regular basis. Online money transactions, fund management, etc. are developing very fast. Nowadays it’s very easy to manage our financial needs due to the digitalization of this sector, but it has a dark side also. Cyber fraud is increasing day by day due to cyber security lapses in the financial sector. For more prominent cyber security in this sector, people should be made aware of the danger of online fraud. Cyber security networks should be made more effective so that easily no one can make cyber fraud easily. Cyberlaw of the financial sector should be made more effective so that anyone doing cyber fraud should be behind bars.
In the defense sector, cyber threat is very dangerous. More or less every country’s defense system got digitalized. Defense equipment is managed by software and programming. Nowadays every country’s defense system is going towards management using artificial intelligence. More and more defense system is going towards cyber dependent more and more cyber threat is there. Some days back we heard about the pentagon security system getting hacked. If the pentagon security system can be hacked then any country’s security system can be hacked. So in the defense sector more prominent and effective cyber security is needed. The pace of cyber security development should be more than the advancement of digitalization in defense systems.
Space technology also has very much threat of cyber attacks. If the space sector got attacked, all our electronic gazets which are dependent upon networking and programming will be affected.
These are the bigger aspects of cyber threats and there has to be dealt with on a bigger level. But to protect ourselves from cyber threats we have to be more vigilant also. Every day we are getting unwanted links showing some lucrative offers etc. we should never click on these links are clicked all our personal information can be stolen.
More or less all the apps we are using want us to give permission to them to access our gallery, contacts, etc. we should not give permission if that app is not very urgent to be installed and used. By giving permission we are sharing all our personal information which can be misused.
Whenever we are using the internet many things are popping up. We should always avoid them, as clicking those pop-ups can be dangerous.
In our smartphones, smart TVs, laptops we should always keep the notification, permission, etc. off.
We should keep network connection off, When it is not used as smart gazets are always peeping up using cameras and screens.
So to fight against cybercrime we have to be smart enough and we should avoid silly mistakes.
