 Need Of Cyber Security

 Introduction

In 2009, compared to physical theft fraudulent money transfers has exceeded in bank
branchesof United States. Crimes have gone up by 60% every year, in 2012, 3500 cases and
2070 in 2011 reported in India. As per report from National Crime records Bureau (NCRS),
Maharashtra reports 561 cases, Andhra 454 cases, Karnataka 437 cases in the year 2012
crimes which are done by age group of 18 to 30 [18]. Haryana registered 3 cases in 2011 but
116in the year 2012 which is a drastic raise. Compared to other crimes, this cybercrime
doesn’t require much investment and can be done in various locations. These crimes
originate from various sources and exhibits socio-educational/economic and technological
including addiction which also includes counterfeiting, economic crimes, money
laundering,child pornography, sexual exploitation, drug trafficking, human trafficking,
terrorism, fraudetc.
In our interconnected world, where digital technology pervades every aspect of our lives,
cybersecurity stands as a paramount concern. With the rapid expansion of the digital
landscape comes an equally rapid proliferation of cyber threats, ranging from malicious
software and phishing attacks to sophisticated cyber espionage campaigns. These threats
pose significant risks to individuals, businesses, and governments alike, jeopardizing
sensitive data, financial assets, and even national security. In this project, we delve into
the pressing need for cybersecurity, exploring its vital role in protecting our digital
infrastructure, safeguarding against cyber attacks, and ensuring the resilience of our
increasingly digitized society. Through an examination of emerging threats, technological
solutions, policy implications, and future trends, we aim to shed light on the critical
importance of proactive cybersecurity measures in mitigating risk and fostering a secure
digital environment for all.

Why Cyber Crime is more now days?

The increase in cybercrimes in recent years can be given to several valid reasons here are
some:

1. Expanding Digital Footprint: As society becomes more reliant on digital technologies for
communication, commerce, and entertainment, the potential attack surface for
cybercriminals expands. The proliferation of internet-connected devices, known as the
Internet of Things (IoT), provides cybercriminals with more entry points to exploit
vulnerabilities.

2. Sophisticated Attack Techniques: Cybercriminals continuously develop and deploy

sophisticated attack techniques, such as ransomware, phishing, and social engineering, to
exploit human and technological weaknesses. These tactics often evade traditional
security measures, making it challenging for individuals and organizations to defend
against them effectively.

3. Financial Incentives: Cybercrime has become increasingly lucrative, with cybercriminals

motivated by financial gain. Activities such as data theft, identity fraud, and ransomware
attacks offer cybercriminals opportunities to extort money from individuals, businesses,
and even government entities.

4. Anonymity and Global Reach: The anonymity provided by the internet allows
cybercriminals to operate from anywhere in the world, making it difficult for law
enforcement agencies to track and apprehend them. Additionally, the borderless nature of the
internet enables cybercriminals to target victims globally, amplifying the impact of their
attacks.

5. Evolving Cyber Threat Landscape: The rapid evolution of technology introduces new cyber
threats and vulnerabilities, outpacing the ability of individuals and organizations to keep pace
with cybersecurity defenses. Emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence,
cryptocurrency, and quantum computing present both opportunities and challenges for
cybersecurity.

6. Lack of Awareness and Training: Many individuals and organizations lack awareness of
cybersecurity best practices and fail to implement adequate security measures. Additionally,
a shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals exacerbates the problem, leaving gaps in
cybersecurity defenses and making it easier for cybercriminals to exploit vulnerabilities.
7. State-Sponsored Cyber Attacks: Nation-states and state-sponsored threat actors engage in
cyber espionage, cyber warfare, and sabotage for political, economic, or military purposes.
These sophisticated and highly orchestrated attacks target critical infrastructure,
government agencies, and private sector organizations, posing significant cybersecurity
challenges.

More online transactions and digital data. Transaction and customer information, resultsof
product launches, and other market information are easily available. Creating valuable
intellectual property online is an attractive target.
Comparatively Corporations and companies are expected to be more transparent
than before.
Majority of people want to access to corporate networks through their
mobile devices for day to day activities. Though smarter technology devices increases
connectivity and but present latest types of security threats.

What is cyber Security?

The dictionary meaning says that Cyber Security is state of being protected against the
criminal or unauthorized use of electronic data, or the measures taken to achieve this. It is
the collection of tools, policies, security concepts, security safeguards, guidelines, risk
managementapproaches, actions, training, best practices, assurance and technologies that
can be used to protect the cyber environment and organization and user’s assets.
Organization and user’s assets include connected computing devices, personnel,
infrastructure, applications, services, telecommunications systems, and the totality of
transmitted and/or stored information in the cyber environment.
Cyber security ensures the maintenance of the security properties of the organization and
user’sassets against security risks in the networked environments. It is the body of
technologies, processes and practices designed to protect networks, computers, programs
and data from attack, damage or unauthorized access.
Just like physical security is aimed at protecting physical property and people from criminal
activity or accidental damage, cybersecurity protects computer systems, back-end systems
and end-user applications, the users of those systems, and the data they store.
Cyber security is aimed at preventing cybercriminals, malicious insiders, or others, from
accessing, harming, disrupting or modifying IT systems and applications.
This is part of an extensive series of guides about data security.
As human society goes digital, all aspects of our lives are facilitated by networks, computer
and other electronic devices, and software applications. Critical infrastructure including ,
financial institutions, governments, and manufacturing, all use computers or smart devices
as a core part of their operations.
Challenges in Cyber Security

Cyber security has been considered as one of the most urgent national security problems.
A report says, in a speech during his presidential campaign, President Obama promised
to “makecyber security the top priority that it should be in the 21st century and appoint a
National Cyber Advisor who will report directly” to the President.
Cyber security must address not only deliberate attacks, such as from disgruntled
employees, industrial espionage, and terrorists, but inadvertent compromises of the
information infrastructure due to user errors, equipment failures, and natural disasters.
Vulnerabilities might allow an attacker to penetrate a network, gain access to control
software, and alter load conditions to destabilize a network in unpredictable ways.
Cybercriminals continually develop advanced attack techniques, such as ransomware,
zero-day exploits, and social engineering, which evade traditional security measures
and pose significant challenges for detection and mitigation.
The human factor remains one of the weakest links in cybersecurity. Employees often
lack awareness of cybersecurity risks and best practices, making them vulnerable to
phishing attacks, social engineering, and other cyber threats. Providing comprehensive
cybersecurity awareness training and fostering a culture of security awareness are
essential for mitigating human-related risks.
 Need for Cyber Security in India:
