THE FATHER OF CYBERSECURITY

}
Bob Thomas is a computer
scientist who is widely
considered “The Father of
Cybersecurity”. In 1997,he
created the first computer
virus called “Creeper Virus”.
Unlike modern malicious
viruses, the creeper virus was
not meant to to cause harm,
instead it was designed to
show how vulnerable computer
 COMPUTER SECURITY

It is the protection of computer systems and

information from harm, theft, and
unauthorized use.

Computer hardware is typically protected by

the same means used to protect other
valuable or sensitive equipment—namely,
serial numbers, doors and locks, and alarms.
 IMPORTANCE OF COMPUTER SECURITY

With the use of this growing technology,

invaders, hackers and thieves are trying to
harm our computer’s security for monetary
gains, recognition purposes, ransom demands,
bullying others, invading other businesses,
organizations, etc. In order to protect our
system from all these risks, computer security
is important.
 KEY OBJECTIVES OF CYBER SECURITY

1. Confidentiality: Preserving authorized restrictions on

information access and disclosure, including means for
protecting personal privacy and proprietary information.

a. Data Confidentiality: Assures that private or confidential

information is not made available or disclosed to
unauthorized individuals.

b. Privacy: Assures that individuals control or influence what

information related to them may be collected and stored and
by whom and to whom that information may be disclosed.
 KEY OBJECTIVES OF CYBER SECURITY

2. Integrity: guarding against improper information

modification or destruction, including ensuring information
nonrepudiation and authenticity.

a. Data Integrity: Assures that information (both stored and in

transmitted packets) and programs are changed only in a
specified and authorized manner.

b. System Integrity: Assures that a system performs its

intended function in an unimpaired manner, free from
deliberate or inadvertent unauthorized manipulation of the
system.
 KEY OBJECTIVES OF CYBER SECURITY

3. Availability: ensuring timely and reliable access

to and use of information. A loss of availability is
the disruption of access to or use of information or
an information system
TYPES OF CYBER
SECURITY
 TYPES OF CYBER SECURITY

1.Network Security:

Protects computer networks from attacks

and unauthorized access, using measures
such as firewalls, virtual private networks
(VPNs), and intrusion detection systems.
 TYPES OF CYBER SECURITY

2. Information Security:

Safeguards data integrity, confidentiality,

and availability, both during storage and
transmission. Encryption and access
controls are common techniques here.
 TYPES OF CYBER SECURITY

3. Endpoint Security:

Focuses on securing individual devices like

computers, tablets, or smartphones.
Antivirus software, anti-malware tools, and
device-specific protections fall under this
type.
 TYPES OF CYBER SECURITY

4. Application Security:

Ensures that software applications are free

from vulnerabilities that hackers could
exploit. Secure coding practices and
regular updates are essential.
 TYPES OF CYBER SECURITY

5. Cloud Security:

Protects data, applications, and

infrastructure in cloud computing
environments. It includes measures such as
data encryption, identity management, and
security monitoring.
 TYPES OF CYBER SECURITY

6. Identity and Access Management (IAM):

Controls and monitors user access to

systems and data, often through multi-
factor authentication (MFA) and role-
based access controls.
 TYPES OF CYBER SECURITY

7. Operational Security (OpSec):

Focuses on securing operational processes

and managing risks associated with
handling data, preventing leaks from both
technical systems and human factors.
 TYPES OF CYBER SECURITY

8. Physical Security:

Protects the hardware of computer systems

from theft, damage, or unauthorized
physical access through methods like
locked facilities and surveillance systems.

1. Viruses - It's a
program that infects a
computer, crippling
the device in order to
self-replicate onto the
system.
M O S T C O M M O N T Y P E S O F M A LW A R E

2. Trojan - A Trojan is
a form of malware
that is downloaded
from the internet or
installed by other
malicious programs.

3. Botnet - groups of devices

infected with malware to
perform a specific task. These
types of malware bots can be
used for malicious reasons,
including as sending spam
emails, phishing, smishing,
launching DDoS attacks or
distributing malware.
M O S T C O M M O N T Y P E S O F M A LW A R E

4. Rootkits - a kind of
malware created to hide
its presence within a
computer system. It can
be employed to gain
unauthorized access to a
system or network.

5. Spyware - a type of
malware that spies on a
user's computer activity.
This type of malware can
monitor keystrokes, capture
screenshots, web browsing
activity, and also record
audio and/or video.

6. Adware - a type of
software that displays
unwanted advertisements
on your computer. It can be
distributed through email
attachments, downloads
and infected websites.
M O S T C O M M O N T Y P E S O F M A LW A R E

7. Ransomware - a type of
malware that encrypts a targeted
victim's files and locks access to
their computer system. This type
of malware demands a ransom
payment in order to receive a
decryption key or another access
method to unlock the system to
regain access to it.
