cyberspace? No weapons or ruined battlegrounds‚ just virtual barriers and coding. It no longer becomes a two sided battle‚ but instead millions of individuals hidden behind computer screens. Anyone can participate in this‚ including terrorist groups‚ hackers‚ and phishers. And for this reason‚ everyone is at risk. People are getting away with their crimes because they keep information secret‚ working anonymously to perform illegal acts using the data stored in cyberspace. The United States government

And remember: Although many professional practices don’t even know they are a prime target for a healthcare data breach‚ a hacker halfway across the country could be putting them in his sights. Professional practices should not assume they aren’t at risk because they have a few employees and a relatively small number of customers. Not true. Hackers‚ like any criminals‚ focus on the most vulnerable.

Introduction Normally risk is the chance that a threat will change into a disaster. Vulnerability and threat are not dangerous‚ taken separately. But if they come together they become a risk‚ in other words the probability that a disaster will happen. Nevertheless risks can be reduced or managed. If we are careful about how we treat the environment and if we are aware of our weaknesses and vulnerabilities to existing hazards‚ then we can take measures to make sure that hazards do not turn into

powerful software on the market. Internet Security as defined by the International Engineering Consortium is the process of preventing and detecting unauthorized use of your computer (Fogile & Peikari‚ 2004). Prevention measures help you to stop unauthorized users (also known as "hackers") from accessing any part of your computer system (Gralla‚ 2002). Unfortunately‚ hackers are always discovering new vulnerabilities to exploit in computer software. The complexity of software makes it increasingly

INTRODUCTION Thesis statement: Computer Hacking satisfies obsession for forbidden information and exploitation of skills. I. General Consideration Hacking has been around for more than a century. At first‚ the term “hacker” was a positive term for a person with a mastery of computers who could push programs beyond what they were designed to do. But because of the exploitation of these knowledge and the obsession to forbidden information‚ it soon became a threat to computer

DESCRIPTION "Denial-of-service" attacks are commonly characterized by an explicit attempt by hackers to prevent legitimate users of a service or resource from using them. It is also an effort to make one or more computer systems unavailable. It is typically targeted at web servers‚ but it can also be used on mail servers‚ name servers‚ and any other

This leaves them open to criminals (i.e.‚ and computer hackers and personal identity thieves). STIG’s explain how to minimize network-based attacks‚ and preventing system access when the attacker is present at the device. STIGs also describe maintenance processes (for example: vulnerability patching and software updates). Developed STIGs might cover the design
