ITECH 5500: Comprehensive Report on Cyber Security Risks and Solutions

This report examines the critical importance of cyber security in the digital age, focusing on the threats and vulnerabilities that necessitate robust protective measures. It delves into various cyber attacks, including ransomware, Trojan horses, and data breaches, highlighting the need for proactive defense mechanisms. The report then outlines key cyber security methods, such as firewalls, antivirus software, content filtering, and intrusion detection systems, explaining their functions and effectiveness in safeguarding digital assets. The research methodology employed involves secondary data collection, using both qualitative and quantitative data analysis to support the findings. The conclusion emphasizes the growing significance of cyber security and its role in enhancing platform robustness. The report underscores the need for continuous improvement in cyber security measures to counter evolving threats and ensure data integrity and system security.

CYBER SECURITY RISKS
AND MITIGATING
TECHNIQUES

INTRODUCTION
Cyber security techniques are considered as the opposing force to the
cyber attacks that are imposed by the imposters. This ensures the fact
that with the help of the implementation of the cyber security robustness
of the platform is increased.

CYBER ATTACK
The cyber attacks due to which the cyber security methide are required
are as follows: -
• Ransomware
• Trojan Horses
• Virus
• Data breach

TYPES OF METHODS
The methods that are used in the cyber security process are as follows: -
• Firewalls
• Antivirus
• Content filtering
• Intrusion detection system

METHODS
Firewall
Firewall is implemented in the networking system for avoiding
unnecessary interference of the imposters. This help in securing the
network via which the data is being transacted. With the help of
increasing the robustness, data breaching process gets performed.

METHODS
Antivirus
Antivirus is used for dealing with the malware and ransomware attacks.
As in the processing of the antivirus the main advantage that is gained is
that the antivirus prevents entry of virus via platforms that will affect the
functioning of the system

METHODS
Content Filtering
Content filtering is based on the processing of eliminating the data that is
unwanted and causing harm in the regular living process. This ensures
that unauthorized and unethical fata will not pop up on the screen.

METHODS
Intrusion detected system
With the help of the Intrusion detected system, the main aspect that is
taken into consideration is that the cyber security management is
performed as per the detection of the malware and ransomware and gets
treated

SUMMARY
Digital platform is one of the latest technologies that are in trend. Due to
this aspect a lot of security issues are caused. For mitigating these
security issues, cyber security is introduced. With the help of the cyber
security proper processing the daily tasks that requires security in the
system

RESEARCH METHODS
The research method used in this study is secondary data collection and
both qualitative data analysis as well as the quantitative data analysis.
With the help of the qualitative and quantitative data analysis process
the research method gets easy. Proper management of the business
arrangement is to be performed.

CONCLUSION
From the above ppt it can be stated that importance of cyber security
has been ever increasing. With the help of the cyber security system, it is
expected is that the robustness of the entire platform increases.
