What is Cyber Crime? Explain briefly 3 types of cyber crime and security measures for each one also share your experience with such situations.

Expert Solution

Step 1

The practice of protecting computers, servers, mobile devices, electronic systems, networks, and data from malicious attacks is cyber protection. It's also known as security for information technology or security for electronic information. The defense of computer systems and networks from theft or harm to their hardware, software or electronic data, as well as from interruption or misdirection of the services they provide is computer security, cyber security or information technology security.

Step 2

Three types of cyber security

Network security - Network security, at its simplest, refers to the interaction between different devices on a network. This encompasses the software and the hardware. According to the SANS Institute, network protection aims to protect the underlying network infrastructure from unauthorized access, misuse, malfunction, alteration, destruction or inappropriate disclosure, thereby providing a stable forum for devices, users and program to perform their critical functions in a secure setting.
End point security - The devices involved concentrate on another key to IT protection. Verifying that only authenticated devices are accessing the system or data is important. In other words, from a device-level perspective (e.g., laptops, mobile phones, tablets), endpoint protection targets security threats. Every new link on an entity's network then expands the field of threat intelligence. Privileged user access, device controls data controls, intrusion detection, and encryption can be included in the end-point security program.
Internet security - Internet protection appears to come under the name of cyber security, as stated above. This deals largely with the transit of data. Imagine sending an email, for example, and while that message is in transit, a third party sweeps in and takes it until the message is delivered (i.e., man-in-the-middle attack) to its intended recipient. Such hijackings are only one of several examples of online crime.
