5.Rationale:

In recent years, the Cyber Security is most important challenge which plays most
important role and must require in digital era where cybercrime become so frequent. Cyber
security is all about to stop cyber-crime. Cyber security is must and we have to know about
all safety measures required to stop cybercrime. This paper gives details information about
cyber security and its safety measure. Also we will discuss about the activities related to it
and how actually cybercrime happens and all steps taken by the various organization
and Government to have cyber ethics everywhere. Cyber security provides protection
against the cybercrime and teaches us what essential safety measures one need to follow
from all cybercrimes. Securing online information is priority where everyone is involved
with technology. Whenever anyone talked about cyber security, straight one thing comes in
mind that is cybercrime and what safety measures need to take to be safe from it.

6.Literature Review
Cyber security is important as every organisation whether private or public both financial
and non-financial, corporate and military also access their data online and keep data,
programs, process, files on computers, clouds, and other devices. And these data must
be important and carries sensitive information may be personal information,
intellectual property, financial information, unauthorized data etc. which might be access
by the cybercrimes and that is why cyber security is very important and everyone must
know all safety measures which need to be taken while working on networks Its
importance is risen these days. Fundamentally, our and data stolen. They easily trust
anyone online and share the details. Even many of them share all personal detail on the
wall of their social media which is highly not recommended. Cloud storage are also risky
where people share their identity information like PAN, AADHAR, Social security number,
bank details, credit card number which is very unsafe

Study of measures to be taken for ensuring cyber security

Cyber Security refers to the all safety measure taken to protect from all deception practices
done online to steal personal data and to protect networks, programs, devices, damage
and any unauthorized access. Any information which transferred through network can be
easily hacked these days and everyone access most of the things only whether it is
professional or personal. In organisation most of the work done through email, audio video
conferences, HRMS, etc., and in personal people do online banking as well. Even the online
chats are also not safe these days .Cyber-crime is increasing day by day therefore there are
various organisation and Government who come in front to deal with all kind of cyber-
crimes. IT industry must focus on safety measure as 60 percent of total transactions are done
online so this field must have high quality of security to give all safety to users while
doing any transactions. Even the cyber space these days are not safe. The latest
technologies like Ecommerce, mobile computing, cloud computing, big data science,
artificial intelligence need high cyber security standards. Making the internet safer is the
important and integral part of the development IT Services and for Government also
important to look into it to safeguards IT Services. Though we have individual cyber
cells to deal every individual case and the response time is great. In 1903, first attack came
into existence and after that frequent crimes came up. People associated with cyber security
but it is more than that. The modern hackers are there who are breaking down cyber
securities. Method has increased of hacking, new techniques and new ways came up of
cybercrime. These tools know a exploit kits which is designed to exploit human and to
blackmail them and get all information. Effective cyber security will protect but not
necessary to protect network where hackers will not attempt to attack and target to track the
system or whole server. But by cyber security, it will difficult for hackers to crack the
firewall and get into it.

Cyber security is important in the world of networks where people are always online doing
work and it can provide opportunity for users to protect their personal information on the
network or on device. Cyber security gives Right to know and Right to information.
Computer is safe through cyber security in terms of all damages from virus, bacteria, online
bugs etc. Cyber security also helps in monitoring the network and protects from various
kinds of threats. Also it protects from all cybercrimes where attackers didn’t get entrance on
networks. It allows protecting computers security a high level. Cyber security protects the

confidential data, protects the integrity and availability of computer system and resource
data of systems. Therefore, cyber security is must to get all confidential trade secrets and
identifying lost data, integrity is sure so that data which is used have some valuable and
ethical data, and it helps from restrain all kind of viruses and data stolen. People have lost
their mental and financial stability due to cybercrime. Many of them lost their huge amount
of money, personal photos are viral through crimes and not only photos but videos as well
due to which people lost their trust from digital world. Therefore, cyber security must be
there and government should take legal action against the cyber criminals

 Trends Of Cyber Security:

1. Web Servers
Cyber criminals create their fake servers which look exactly like the original one with their
malicious code so that one can easily visit and input the personal information and they can
easily track all detail
Cyber security check twice while doing any transaction and see about the server in detail.

2. Cloud space and its services

These days everyone is preferring for cloud space to store data. This latest service becomes
the challenge for cyber security as it requires large number of access and applications to
prevent important information. Hackers know all techniques to get into it.

3. Mobile Networks
Mobile is the need of everyone. We can see in everyone’s hand and its user do almost
every activity on mobile. From social media to banking, from pictures to videos, WhatsApp
chat etc. are very permeable as people are using different kind of devices like smartphones,
IPad, Tablet etc. all of which require high level of security with two factor authentication.
Mobile phones are very prone to cybercrime and user must download latest software and
application and make themselves protect from cybercrime.

4. Encrypted Code
Encryption is the process of encoding messages where only users or coders can read that
and or networks. Every user must learn how to encode the messages and keep their data
encrypted safe. Encryption at every level is important and protect the data privacy and
the integrity.
But use of encryption is the big challenge for cyber security
Encrypted code not only secure persona data on computers or mobile but it is also helpful
and secure data on all networks which is present online

 Cyber ethics:

Cyber ethics is the code of internet. It is the practice which is use for good chance to use
proper and safer internet. There are few things which need to be consider for cyber ethics-
• Offensive Language: Do not use rude or any kind of violent language

 Cyber Bully: Never do any cyber bully as it’s a crime

 Plagiarism: Never plagiarised any content of any one as it us under stolen and hacking
 Involvement: Do not involve with anyone else computer or network as it comes under
cybercrime
 Copyright: Obey the Copyright rules, never download material from unknown sites
Cyber ethics are important and must be followed by everyone and if everyone takes the
responsibility then cybercrime will decline.
 Challenges of Cyber Security

There are few challenges while doing effective cyber security in an organization or for
personal reasons:
 Network Security - The networks are not secure enough as there are many unwanted
users who can attack and destruct the interventions.
 Application Security- Application of both computer and mobile device need to be
updated and tested on regular basis to ensure any kind of attacks.
 Data Security - Securing data on applications and network need second layer of
security which is very challenging. One must protect their data very highly by two factor
authentication so that no one can easily access it.

 Cloud Security- Protecting data 100 percent on cloud is very challenging as its require
large amount of space and online safe environment.
 Mobile Security- It involves every type of security from login to space, from chat to
banking which again require conscious user’s involvement

• Safety Measures Of Cyber Security:

Basic precautions must be taken by everyone who use internet and online transactions.
1.Internet Security Suite- One can use various anti malware software that are available for
purchase either through online or offline that helps them to protect and secure their
information from various malware.
2.Strong Password- One should use strong and new password frequently. Password
must be changed frequently by using combination of letters, numbers and special characters
and try to erase history of browser once work done specially if using public or common
computers or laptop.
3.Regular Update Software – It is important for OS and internet security to update regular
software to avoid any kind of cybercrime as criminal use known exploits and flaw to gain
access of system
4.Manage Social Media Settings- It is always very important to keep personal and private
information to keep persona; and private information locked down. Cyber criminals keep an
eye on social media information so it must be locked and frequently changes like passwords
share as much as less information on social media so that anyone won’t be able to guess
security questions answers

5.Intensify Home Network- Home network must have strong encrypted password and have
virtual private network. A VPN stands for Virtual Private Network; which allows you to
create a secure connection to another network over the internet. It allows you to connect to
the public networks more securely. It’s a great idea to use VPN in both public and personal
network so that it protects everywhere.

6.Secure Personal Computer- This can be done by activating computer firewall, using
antivirus, malware software and block spy war attacks by regularly installation and updating
software

7.Secure Mobile Devices- Mobile devices must be updated and password protected in two-
factor authentication and applications must be downloaded from trusted sources.

8.Install latest Operating System- Current and updated operating system must be used in
Windows, Mac, Linux to prevent potential attacks on older software.

and personal data is common and most increasing crime. There are data available where
we can see daily cybercrime like OTP call, online money transfer, personal information
data, etc. Even organization is facing these crimes like leaking information of their work,
project, plans, infrastructure details etc. There is no absolute solution of cybercrimes but we
can do our best by using networks and online work safely. Cyber security takes all
measures to protect online crime and use as safeguards for all networks, programs,
software and data. The protection and prevention of network is must and provide all
intentional and unintentional intrusion for both inside and outside system to protect and
ensure assurance, integrity of information and data online.
