Keywords: Cybersecurity; cyberspace; cyber terrorism; Information security. Every organization wants to secure their confidential data from getting hacked. Getting hacked is not just about losing the confidential

data but losing the relationship with customers in the market (Bendovschi, 2015). The Internet is today's fastest growing infrastructure.

In today's technical environment many new technologies are changing mankind. But due to these emerging technologies, we are unable to

protect our private information in an efficient way, so the cyber-crimes are drastically increasing on daily basis. Majority of the
