The Evolution Of IT: A Brief History

So What IS Cyber Security ?

Cyber security, is the security of the internet, all electronic foot print inter connected to the data that are passing and stored through it. (computers, networks, programs and data from unintended or unauthorized access, change or destruction).

Why Is Protecting you PC, Network important to your businesses

Governments, military, corporations, financial institutions, hospitals and businesses collect, process and store a great deal of confidential information on computers and transmit that data across networks to other computers. With the growing volume and sophistication of cyber attacks, ongoing attention is required to protect sensitive business and personal information, as well as safeguard national security. During a Senate hearing in March 2013, the nation's top intelligence officials warned that cyber attacks and digital spying are the top threat to national security, eclipsing terrorism.

• Virus attacks are no longer just viruses (they may

include payload)

• Wireless and wired network sniffers packet
• Widespread denial-of-service attacks
• Botnets and Zombies
• Spoofing Hijacking sessions
• Automated probes and scans
• GUI intruder tools (fake speedup my computer tools)
• Automated widespread attacks
• .exe code attacks (against browsers) + Compress files
• Techniques to analyze code to identify vulnerabilities
• Internet social engineering attacks
