Abstract

This paper is aimed particularly at readers concerned with major systems employed in medium to large commercial or industrial enterprises. It examines the nature and significance of the various potential attacks, and surveys the defense options available. It concludes that IT owners need to think of the threat in more global terms, and to give a new focus and priority to their defense. Prompt action can ensure a major improvement in IT flexible at a modest marginal cost, both in terms of finance and in terms of normal IT operation. Cyber Security plays an important role in the development of information technology as well as Internet services. Our attention is usually drawn on “Cyber Security” when we hear about “Cyber Crimes”. Our first thought on “National Cyber Security” therefore starts on how good is our infrastructure for handling “Cyber Crimes”.
