The internet has become the integral part of today’s generation of people; from
communicating through instant messages and emails to banking, travelling,
studying and shopping, internet has touched every aspect of life. With the
growing use of the internet by people, protecting important information has
become a necessity. A computer that is
not having appropriate security controls can be infected with malicious logic and thus any type of information can be
accessed in moments. Number of infected Web Pages and malicious websites can be
seen every day that infects the computer and allow hackers to gain illegal
access to other computer systems.
Hacking of important data,
network outages, computer viruses and other cyber related threats affect our
lives that range from minor inconvenience to serious incidents. Cyber threats
can be caused due to negligence and vulnerabilities, or unintentional accidents. The main objectives of such type of system
attackers or hackers are to steal confidential information, to make illegal
monetary transactions, to destroy or to change data and the like. System
attackers can be terrorists, crackers or recreational hackers. They have a
variety of tools that can harm or infect the computer; usually they use
malicious logic or virus to gain unauthorized
access to a computer. Opening email attachments that carry the virus, clicking
malicious links or websites or unintentionally downloading a dangerous program
are common ways through which a computer can be infected and data can be stolen.

As the number of data networks,
digital applications, as well as internet and mobile users are growing, so do
the chances of cyber exploitation and cyber crimes. Even a small mistake in
securing data or bad social networking can prove to be extremely dangerous. If
accounts are not properly secured, it makes easier for hackers or unauthorized
users to spread viruses or social engineered attacks that are designed to steal
data and even money. Such types of issues highlight the need for cyber security
as an essential approach in protecting and preventing data from being used
inappropriately.
