• It is a
combining
form: relating
to information
technology, the
Internet, and
virtual reality.
Cyber attack
• An Attack is any attempt to expose, alter, disable, destroy,
steal or gain unauthorized access to or make unauthorized
use of an asset.
• An Attacker is a person or process that attempts to access
data, functions or other restricted areas of the system
without authorization, potentially with malicious intent.
• A cyber attack is any type of offensive maneuver that
targets computer information systems, infrastructures,
computer networks, or PC devices.
Vulnerabilities
• is a weakness in design,
implementation,
operation or internal
control.
• is a weakness which can
be exploited by a threat
actor, such as an
attacker, to perform
unauthorized actions
within a computer
system.
Types of Cyber Attacks

1. Hacking
• refers to activities that seek to compromise digital devices,
such as computers, smartphones, tablets, and even entire
networks.
• Simply it means an illegal intrusion into a computer
system and/or network.

• The person engaged
in hacking activities.

 2. Denial-of-service
attack(Dos)
• is a cyber-attack in which the perpetrator seeks to
make a machine or network resource unavailable
to its intended users by temporarily or indefinitely
disrupting services of a host connected to the
Internet.
• Act by the criminal, who floods the bandwidth of
the victims network.
 3. Malware
• The word "malware" comes from the term "MALicious
softWARE."
• Malicious software is any software intentionally designed
to cause damage to a computer, server, client, or computer
network.
• Malware does the damage after it is implanted or
introduced in some way into a target's computer and can
take the form of executable code, scripts, active
content, and other software.
 4. Viruses
• A Virus is a “program that is loaded onto your
computer without your knowledge and runs
against your wishes.
• Malicious software that attaches itself to other
software. (worms, Trojan Horse, web jacking, e-
mail bombing etc.)
 5. Trojan Horses
• Trojan horses are email viruses that can duplicate
themselves, steal information, or harm the computer
system.
• These viruses are the most serious threats to computers
 6. Spyware
• Spyware is software that aims to gather
information about a person or organization,
sometimes without their knowledge, that may
send such information to another entity.
 7. Keystroke logging
• Often referred to as keylogging or keyboard capturing
• Is the action of recording (logging) the keys struck on a
keyboard, typically covertly, so that person using the
keyboard is unaware that their actions are being
monitored.
• A keylogger can be either software or hardware.
 8. Phishing
• Phishing is the fraudulent attempt to obtain
sensitive information such as usernames,
passwords and credit card details.
• It is tying to get you to follow a link and provide
information to the sender, like a password or an
account number.
 9. Backdoor
• A Backdoor in a system is a method of bypassing
normal authentication and gain access.
• The Backdoor access method is sometimes written by
the programmer who develops the program.
• Hackers use backdoors to install malicious software or
programs, modify code or detect files and gain system
access.
History of Cyber Attack
• The first recorded cyber attack took place in 1820.
• The first spam email took place in 1976 when it
was sent out over the ARPANT.
• The first virus was installed on an Apple computer
in 1982 when a high school student, Rich skrenta,
developed the EIK Cloner.
• The number of cyber attacks has grown up steadily
during the last few years.
• A report (sponsored by McAfee), published in 2014,
estimated that the annual damage to the global
economy was $445 billion.
Continued…

• In 2016, 758 million malicious attacks occurred

according to Kaspersky Lab, (an attack launched
every 40 seconds).
• In 2018, a study by Center for Strategic and
International Studies (CSIS), in partnership with
McAfee, concludes that close to $600 billion,
nearly 1% of global GDP, is lost to cybercrime
each year.
• Ransomware was under the spotlight with the
WannaCry and NotPetya attacks which
temporarily paralyzed many large companies and
organizations.

Cybercrime
• Cyber crime is an activity done using computers
and internet. We can say that it is an unlawful
acts wherein the computer either a tool or target
or both.
• is a crime that involves a computer and a
network.
• Cybercrime may threaten a person or a nation's
security and financial health.
Categories of Cybercrime
• We can categorize cybercrime in 2 ways:

1. The computer as a
target :- using a e.g. Hacking, virus/worms
computer to attacks other attacks, Dos attack etc.
computer

2. The computer as a
e.g. cyber terrorism, credit
weapon :- using a

Cyber Attack vs Cyber Crime
Cyber attack is just
a part of Cyber
Crime.

CIA Model
Cyber Crime
– This term falls under Confidentiality and Integrity. i.e. breaking
into systems to steal sensitive information or modifying it to render
it useless to the organization being attacked.
Cyber Attack
– This could very well full under each category, but it best fits under
Availability. Individuals who are performing cyber attacks are most
likely attempting Denial Of Service(DOS) or Distributed Denial Of
Service(DDOS) to bring down websites or resources that users are
attempting to use.
 Cyber Security

• Also known as Computer

security, or information
technology security (IT
security).
• It is the protection of computer
systems from theft or damage
to their hardware, software
or electronic data, as well as
from disruption or misdirection
of the services they provide.
• It is practice of defending computers, servers, mobile devices,
electronic systems, networks, and data from malicious
attacks.
Continued…
• The field is growing in importance due to
increasing reliance on computer systems, the
Internet and wireless networks such as
Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, and due to the growth of
"smart" devices.
• With an increasing amount of people getting
connected to Internet, the security threats that
cause massive harm are increasing also.
• It's objective is to establish rules and measure
to use against attacks over the Internet.
Some common categories:
• Network security is the practice of securing a
computer network from intruders.
• Application security focuses on keeping software
and devices free of threats. A compromised application
could provide access to the data its designed to
protect.
• Information security protects the integrity and
privacy of data, both in storage and in transit.
• Internet security is a branch of computer security
specifically related to not only the Internet, often
involving browser security and the WWW.
• Mobile security, or more specifically mobile device
security.
Advantage of Cyber
Security
• Defend us from critical attacks.
• Browse the safe website.
• Internet security process all the incoming and
outgoing data on our computer.
• It will defend us from hacks and virus.
• Application of cyber security used in our PC needs

 Conclusion
In summary, cyber threats are evolving and pose
serious risks to individuals and organizations. Cyber
security is crucial to protect against these dangers. By
staying informed, proactive, and adopting best
practices, we can safeguard our digital lives and
create a safer online environment.
