Cyber Security

[Supradeep9]

I have learnt a lot of things in this course. Cybersecurity is one of the most trending topics in today’s technology & market. We cannot imagine our life without Cybersecurity. Data protection is one of the major features of Cyber security.
In today’s technology world, threat comes from various sources. There are many forms of the threats which is causing Data Leak and is compromising the safety of Data. Having some suitable techniques to counter the same will definitely lead to more enhanced solution for the client and other techniques.

I learnt about the Cybersecurity techniques like Firewall, Anti Malware, Anti-Virus, Penetration Testing, Network security monitoring and other tools.

Firewalls mostly help in monitoring like which data is incoming and outgoing. It tries to stop the unwanted data from passing by adding some validations rules based on which it can filter whether the data is valid or not. This technique is one of the best techniques for the Cybersecurity.

Anti Malware is a trending tool in Cybersecurity as it prevents malware from attacking the Computer and other important software systems. Most of them are Behavior based tools while others are signature based tool.

The Behavior based tool checks for the behavior of the Malware and tries to prevent it from entering the computing system. Hence, it tries to save the cyber world from a potential threat.

The Signature based approach mainly deals with protection based on signature mechanism. This is also a very important approach in the world of Cybersecurity.

Anti Virus is an important tool in the world of Cybersecurity. It is a kind of software mechanism which tries to block any kind of the Virus which can pass to the Important computing systems through the malicious softwares, applications, and other hardware devices like pendrives, compact disks, etc. In this mechanism, the cyber security people have to keep the Anti virus updated everytime so that it does not expire.

Penetration testing is an important scenario in Cybersecurity. This is a method of testing in the world of Cybersecurity. It is a method to test the Weakness of the system. It tests which part is the Strongest and which is the weakest part in the system. In case of any security breach, this tool is the most effective tool. Many people also call it as a way of Ethical hacking.

Network Security Monitoring is also an important technique for the Cybersecurity monitoring. In this technique, the network is quietly monitored using various techniques.

It is used to monitor how the data is moving and how it is getting transmitted from one medium to another and if there is any kind of threat or malware in that message. If there is any threat, it will block the threat using various mechanisms like SNMP which is Simple Network Management Protocol which is used to check the Status of the devices and monitor them.

Few of the Challenges of the Cyber Security is that since it is the age of Artificial Intelligence, the Cyber Attacks are increasing day by day. Every other day, we hear about the new Cyber threats arising which is very much disturbing.

Hence, we need to find new techniques and update ourselves so that we can save our future from the Cyber-attacks and threats. We have to enhance our knowledge using the latest techniques to secure our systems from Cyber Attacks.
