CYBER DEFENCE2
Introduction
This paper aims to discuss the business security model of the IT firm that is based in
Saudi Arabia for expanding their business in the market of Middle East. This paper discusses the
various types of the web server attack and conduct a comparison between the best security
practices for keeping the personal data of the client safe in their server. This study also
recommends solution for the global expansion of the business by utilizing the methods for
identifying adequate model with the security goals.
Web Server Attack
On the web servers, websites are hosted. The servers are running the operating system,
they are connected to the database of back end and they are running multiple applications
(Tandon et al., 2019). Any risks or vulnerabilities in the operating system, network, running
application or database lead to the web server attack.

Types of Web Server Attack
There are multiple types of web server attacks, in which some of the attacks are:
DOS Attack
Any attacker can cause attack to the denial of service by sending multiple packets of
service request that overwhelm the capability of the service of the server (Zhang et al., 2015).
The attacker can also try to exploit the programming error in any running application that can
cause the attack in the DOS. Some of the examples of the DOS attack are SYN flooding, Ping of
death, buffer overflow attack and HTTP flood attack.
