INTRODUCTION
Computer science is the filed of study which help in providing knowledge regarding with
how to use technologies, network tool in day-to-day life. This report has been formulated to
define major trend in computer science. For this purpose, computer security subject has been
chosen. This report includes, an overview cyber security, its types issue developer face during the
time of implementation of any kind of website of network and ways which help in protecting
organization from issue related with cyber-crime. All this information has been provided in
systematic way
Overview of Computer security and main concern of a developer regarding security
Computer security : This term defines as the process of protecting network & system of
computers from theft, disclosing of relevant information, damages of software as well as
hardware and disruption of any kind of services provide by computers or other electric devices.
In general terms it is also known as cyber security or IT security (Petrenko, 2018).
In other words, cyber security is developed for the purpose of protecting computer system from
harming and unauthorised theft of information. At present time period due to the revolution in
technology and internet, cyber security is considered as one of the famous current trends in the
field of computer science.
Types of computer security.
Information security: It is related with provide security to relevant or essential data from
unauthorized use of information. By using software and different types of tools personal able to
secure integrity, confidentiality and accessibility of computer system.
Application security: Provides securities to newly develop application by using different
software. There are different types of threat related with security of application which includes,
injection, denial of services, cyber-attacks, all these issues can be prevented by using software
like, firewalls’, encryption, web application, antivirus Imperva WAF and SonicWall, all these
software use to prevent issue related with application security (Amran, Zaaba, and Mahinderjit
Singh, K., 2018).
Information security: It is related with provide security to relevant or essential data from

Application security: Provides securities to newly develop application by using different
software. There are different types of threat related with security of application which includes,
injection, denial of services, cyber-attacks, all these issues can be prevented by using software
like, firewalls’, encryption, web application, antivirus Imperva WAF and SonicWall, all these
software use to prevent issue related with application security (Amran, Zaaba, and Mahinderjit
Singh, K., 2018).
Issue developer face regarding with cyber security.
Cyber-attack: It is defined as deliberating exploitation of network system, for this
purpose various tools or software has been used which includes, hacking, malware, website
detachment. In this malicious coding process is used to hack computer system.
Security issue: This is considered as one of the major issues as organizations face lack of
security issue during the time of run business activities. Person due to lack of knowledge
regarding how to protect their information suffers from unauthorised cyber theft.
Cloud based security issue: All the data of organization is saved in cloud, thus develop need to
formulate strong cloud which security is not hack by any personal, thus it is essential for
developers that thy secure their cloud-based network.
Code security issue: It is also considered as one of the major and famous trends in context with
computer security, code is relevant for securing each detail related with business
organizations, and developer need to formulate or prepare their code in such a way which is
not hack by any of hackers, as organizational face issue generally due to lack of handling
their code security. Thus, they need to formulate policies and strategies developer used to
made strong and effective code which is not break by any of unauthorised users.
Measurement of security issue: This is also considered as one of the famous trends however
develop also get issue during the time of measuring their security as they are not cable to find
out which area they need to cover or make secure regarding with mitigate risk of cyber
security. Computer network in wider are and with the development and revolution of internet
it become much wider thus the chance of hacking is increases at international level.
Developer thus face issue regarding with how they protect or safe their
Following are the methods which useful for organization to protect their computer network from
cyber-attack.

Use antivirus software: It is considered as most relevant strategy, by using different
software which includes, Site lock, Heimdall Crop, Acunetex, indene, all these are useful in
protecting computer system from any kind out virus of cyber-attack. Which will helpful in
protecting confidential information of organization.
Virtual private network: By implementing virtual network of organization, manager able to
secure their organization from any kind of virus attack. This will useful in protecting interest
of personal as well as assure them regarding security of their personal information (Tsochev,
Trifonov, Yoshinov , Manolov, Popov and Pavlova, 2018).
Cyber assurance: At present time most of companies are engaged in providing insurance inform
cyber-crime, personal need to use in their organization within this scheme in order to protect
their organization from any kind of risk arise related with cyber security.
CONCLUSION
From the above analysis it has been concluded that computer security is become major trend in
the field of computer science at present time period due to the revolution major changes has
been arise, which positively and negativity impact on human being’s life. Computer and
internet are considered as essential thing to use their will be many issues arises due to use of
these technological instruments, which include cyber-crime. Rate of cyber crime has been
raised with changes of time, due to lack of protection of security and hacking system.
Organization by implementing protecting security software as well as cloud network and
through formulating rigid strategies and policies regarding with use of computer network able
to control cyber issue arises within the organization.
