    Cyber Security

    • Cyber security is the body of


    technologies, processes and
    practices involved in protecting
    individuals and organizations
    from cyber crime.

    • It is designed to protect integrity


    of networks, computers,
    programs and data from attack,
    damage or unauthorized access.
    Cyber Security Principles
    There are five key principles in cyber security:

    • Confidentiality

    • Integrity

    • Availability

    • Accountability

    • Auditability.
    Cyber Threat

    • A Cyber threat is any malicious act that attempts


    to gain access to a computer network without
    authorization or permission from the owners.
    • It refers to the wide range of malicious activities
    that can damage or disrupt a computer system,
    a network or the information it contain.
    • Most common cyber threats: Social Engineered
    Trojans, Unpatched Software, Phishing, Network
    worms, etc.
    Sources of Cyber Threat

    Cyber threats can come from a wide variety of sources, some


    notable examples include:
    • National governments.
    • Terrorists.
    • Industrial secret agents.
    • Rogue employees.
    • Hackers.
    • Business competitors.
    • Organization insiders.
    Cyber Threat Classifications

    Threats can be classified by multiple criteria:


    • Attacker's Resources
    • Attacker's Organization
    • Attacker's Funding

    On basis of these criteria, threats are of 3 types:


    • Unstructured Threats
    • Structured Threats
    • Highly Structured threats
    Types of Cyber Threat:

    Threats can be classified by multiple criteria:


    Advanced Persistent Threat (APT):
    • A network attack in which an unauthorized person gains access
    to network and stays there undetected for a long period of
    time.

    Backdoor:
    • Method of bypassing normal authentication and gaining access
    in OS or application
    Types of Cyber Threat:

    Buffer Overflow:
    • An exploit that takes advantage of the program that is waiting
    for a user's input.

    Man-in-the-middle Attack
    • This attack intercepts and relays messages between two
    parties who are communicating directly with each other.
    Types of Cyber Threat:

    Cross-Site Scripting (XSS):


    • A code injection attack that allows an attacker to execute
    malicious JavaScript in another user's browser.

    Denial of Service Attack:


    • Any attack where the attackers attempt to prevent the
    authorized users from accessing the service.
    Impacts of Cyber Attacks

    A successful cyber attack can cause major damage to


    organizations or systems, as well as to business reputation and
    consumer trust.

    • Some potential results include:


    • Financial loss.
    • Reputational damage.
    • Legal consequences.
    Vulnerability

    What is a Vulnerability?
    A cyber-security term that refers to a flaw in a system that can

    Vulnerability is the composition of three elements:

    1. A flaw in system.
    2. Access of attacker to that flaw.
    3. Capability of attacker to exploit the flaw
    Classification of Vulnerability

    Vulnerabilities are classified according to the asset:

    • Hardware.
    • Software.
    • Network.
    • Personal.
