Introduction To Cyber
Security Concepts
Definition of Cyber Security

Cyber security is the


practice of protecting
digital systems, networks,
and data from theft,
damage, or unauthorized
access. In this section, we
will explore the
fundamental concepts of
cyber security and its vital
role in our increasingly
digital world.
Importance Of Cyber Security

Cyber security is crucial in


our modern society
because our lives and
businesses are heavily
reliant on digital
technology. Everything
from personal
communication to critical
infrastructure, like power
grids and healthcare
systems, depends on
secure digital systems.
Types of Cyber Threats

Cyber threats come in various


forms, including:
● Malware: Malicious software
such as viruses, worms, ransom
ware, and spyware.
● Phishing: Deceptive emails or
websites aimed at stealing
sensitive information.
● Social Engineering:
Manipulating individuals into
revealing confidential data.
● Denial of Service (DoS)
Attacks: Overwhelming
systems or networks to disrupt
services.
Impact of Cyber Attacks
● Cyber attacks can have significant consequences. They can lead to
data breaches, financial losses, and even physical harm in the case of
critical infrastructure attacks.

● For instance, the 2017 WannaCry ransom ware attack affected over
300,000 computers in 150 countries, causing extensive financial
damage.

Common
Cyber
Threats
Types And Examples Of
Cyber Threats
Malware

● Malware is a broad
category that includes
viruses, worms, ransom
ware, and spyware.
Each of these types of
malware has a unique
method of operation,
but they all share the
goal of compromising or
damaging computer
systems and data.
Phishing Attacks

● Phishing involves
deceiving
individuals into
revealing personal,
financial, or
sensitive
information.
Cybercriminals
typically send
fraudulent emails
or direct victims to
fake websites that
mimic trusted
Social Engineering

● Social engineering is the


art of manipulating people
to divulge confidential
information. Attackers may
use tactics such as
pretexting (inventing
fabricated scenarios),
baiting (enticing victims
with malware-infected
files), and tailgating
(gaining unauthorized
physical access).
Denial of Service (DoS) Attacks

● DoS attacks
overwhelm a system
or network, rendering
it unavailable to users.
These attacks disrupt
services, causing
inconvenience or
financial losses for
businesses.
Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs)

● APTs are long-term,


targeted attacks that
aim to compromise a
specific entity. These
attacks can be highly
sophisticated and
persistent, often aimed
at critical
infrastructure or high-
value targets.
