…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Main objective of this paper: This paper helps to achieve new insights
from various perspectives. It sheds light even on various aspect of the
course and increases our hunger for knowledge. It is wise to say it
contributes a lot in respect to the holistic development of every student.

Topics Covered & Assignment Provided: (Write 2 to 3 lines on each


topic): We have managed to gain a comprehensive knowledge on this
following topic:

1) CIA triad :

1. Confidentiality: Ensures that sensitive information is only accessible to


authorized users. It involves data encryption, access controls, and
authentication mechanisms to prevent unauthorized access.
2. Integrity: Guarantees that data is accurate, complete, and unaltered. It
involves using checksums, hashes, and digital signatures to detect any
unauthorized modifications to data.
3. Availability: Ensures that information and resources are accessible when
needed by authorized users. It includes system uptime, redundancy, and
backup strategies to prevent downtime or loss of access.

2) Risk and vulnerability :

Risk: The potential for harm or loss to occur due to a security threat or breach. It
is the likelihood of a threat exploiting a vulnerability and the impact it could have
on the system, data, or organization. Risk is often assessed by considering both
the probability and the consequences.
Vulnerability: A weakness or flaw in a system, software, or process that can be
exploited by a threat to cause harm. Vulnerabilities can arise from software bugs,
misconfigurations, weak access controls, or outdated systems.

.3 ) purpose of cyber attack :

1. Data Theft: Cyber attackers may target sensitive personal, financial, or


corporate data for illegal use, such as identity theft, fraud, or corporate
espionage.
2. Disruption or Destruction: Some attacks aim to disrupt or destroy
systems, networks, or services, causing financial loss, reputational damage,
or operational downtime (e.g., DDoS attacks).
3. Political or Ideological Motives: Hacktivism, where attackers target
organizations or governments to promote political or social causes, can also
be a major purpose behind cyber attacks .

4 ) It act to prevent cyber attack :

1. Use Strong Security Protocols: Implement strong passwords, multi-factor


authentication (MFA), and encryption to safeguard sensitive data and
systems from unauthorized access.
2. Regular Software Updates: Keep operating systems, applications, and
security software up to date to patch vulnerabilities that attackers might
exploit.
3. Employee Training and Awareness: Educate employees on recognizing
phishing scams, social engineering attacks, and safe internet practices to
reduce human error, a common vector for cyber attacks.

5 ) Wireless /Mobile attacks :

1. Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks: Attackers intercept and potentially


alter communications between two parties in a wireless network, gaining
unauthorized access to sensitive data like login credentials or financial
information.
2. Rogue Hotspot Attacks: Cybercriminals set up fake Wi-Fi networks to
lure users into connecting. Once connected, attackers can steal personal
data or inject malware into devices.
3. Mobile Malware: Malicious apps or software designed to infect mobile
devices, steal personal information, track location, or exploit vulnerabilities
in the device’s operating system.

Outcome of the Subject: This paper benefits us a lot in every aspect.


Moreover, it makes us inclined to understand what our career demands.
It is better to acknowledge that this paper abridges the gap between the
academic world and professional life. In a nutshell, it reinstates a balance in
our life by bringing equilibrium to succeed in the long run professionally.
