2. vulnerability
Vulnerability is a cyber-security term that
refers to a flaw in a system that can leave it
open to attack.

3. Why Systems Are Vulnerable
• Hardware problems
Breakdowns, configuration errors, damage from improper use or
crime
• Software problems
Programming errors, installation errors, unauthorized changes
• Disasters
Power failures, flood, fires, and so on
• Use of networks and computers outside of firm’s
control
E.g., with domestic or offshore outsourcing vendors

4. Malicious Software: Viruses, Worms, Trojan Horses,
and Spyware
• Viruses
Rogue software program that attaches itself to other software
programs or data files in order to be executed
• Worms
Independent computer programs that copy themselves from
one computer to other computers over a network
• Trojan horses
Software program that appears to be benign but then does
something other than expected.

5. Malicious Software: Viruses, Worms, Trojan Horses,
and Spyware
• Spyware
Small programs install themselves surreptitiously on
computers to monitor user Web surfing activity and serve up
advertising
• Key loggers
Record every keystroke on computer to steal serial numbers,
passwords, launch Internet attacks

6. Hackers and Computer Crime
• Computer crime
• Defined as “any violations of criminal law that involve a
knowledge of computer technology for their perpetration,
investigation, or prosecution”
• Computer may be target of crime:
• Breaching confidentiality of protected computerized data
• Accessing a computer system without authority
• Computer may be instrument of crime:
• Theft of trade secrets
• Using e-mail for threats or harassment

7. Hackers and Computer Crime
• Identity theft
• Theft of personal information (social security id, driver’s
license, or credit card numbers) to impersonate someone else
• Phishing
• Setting up fake Web sites or sending e-mail messages that
look like legitimate businesses to ask users for confidential
personal data
• Evil twins
• Wireless networks that pretend to offer trustworthy Wi-Fi
connections to the Internet

8. Hackers and Computer Crime
• Pharming
• Redirects users to a bogus Web page, even when
individual types correct Web page address into his
or her browser
• Click fraud
• Occurs when individual or computer program
fraudulently clicks on online ad without any
intention of learning more about the advertiser or
making a purchase

9. Disaster
Management

10. What is disaster management ???
“A disaster can be defined as any occurrence that cause damage,
ecological disruption, loss of human life, deterioration of health and
health services on a scale, sufficient to warrant an extraordinary
response from outside the affected community or area”.
(W.H.O.)

11. BACKGROUND
The reasons for this are varied including:
 an increasing population pressures in urban areas
 an increase in the extent of encroachment into lands, e.g., river beds or
drainage courses, low lying areas etc.
 poor or ignored zoning laws and policies
 lack of proper risk management (insurance)

13. Indian Meteorological department (IMD) plays a key role in forewarning the
disaster of cyclone-storms by detection tracing. It has 5 centres in Kolkata,
Bhubaneswar, Vishakapatanam, Chennai & Mumbai. In addition there are 31
special observation posts setup a long the east coast of India.
The International Agencies which provides humanitarian assistance to the
disaster strike areas are United Nation agencies.
 Office for the co-ordination of Humanitarian Affair (OCHA)
 World Health Organization (WHO)
 UNICEF
 World Food Programme (WFP)
 Food & Agricultural Organisation (FAD)

Co-Operative American Relief Every where (CARE)
International committee of Red cross

15. Disaster impact

16. India’s Vulnerability to Disasters
57% land is vulnerable to earthquakes. Of these, 12% is vulnerable to severe
earthquakes.
68% land is vulnerable to drought.
12% land is vulnerable to floods.
8% land is vulnerable to cyclones.
Apart from natural disasters, some cities in India are also vulnerable to
chemical and industrial disasters and man-made disasters.

17. Disaster response
Epidemiologic surveillance and disease control
 Vaccination
Nutrition

18. Rehabilitation phase
Water supply
Food safety
Basic sanitation and personal hygiene
Vector control

19. DISASTER-EFFECTS
Deaths
Disability
Increase in communicable disease
Psychological problems
Food shortage
Socioeconomic losses
Shortage of drugs and medical supplies.
Environmental disruption

20. Lessons Learnt
• Be Prepared : Preparedness and Mitigation is bound to yield
more effective returns than distributing relief after a disaster.
• Create a Culture of Preparedness and Prevention.
• Evolve a code of conduct for all stake-holders

21. Disaster Reduction Day
NIDM observed "Disaster Reduction Day" on the 12th
October
Rallies and special lectures were organized in the
universities and colleges to mark the initiatives of
awareness for disaster reduction amongst youth & children
Children's Colour Activity Book for Disaster Preparedness
