1. 7 Latest And Most Effective
Ways To Fight Cyber Threats

2. Technology has invited various digital threats to the common man. It has also
imposed a threat to national security on several occasions. Cyber crimes can
involve criminal activities that are rooted in nature, such as theft, fraud, forgery,
defamation, and mischief, all of which are subject to the Indian Penal Code. The
Information Technology Act, 2000 aims at addressing all the new age crimes
through the abuse of computers.
Do you know that cyber frauds in India, registered under the IT Act, increased at
a rate of 300 percent between 2011 and 2014? In 2015, there were 11,592 cases
of cybercrime registered in India.
With the evolution of the Internet, came another revolution of crime where the
perpetrators commit the crime on the World Wide Web. Internet crime takes
various faces and is employed in diverse ways. The increasing number of users
has exposed the Internet to everyone.
Cyber terrorists are hackers with political motivation, their attacks can affect
political structure through such corruption and destruction. In 2010, the Indian
hackers launched a cyber attack at least 36 government database websites by the
name" Indian Cyber Army". In retaliation, the Pakistani hackers called" real Cyber
Army" hacked and slandered 121,059 Indian electoral bodies.
Hence, we need to implant effective methods to prevent cyber frauds. Here, we
will talk about 7 such compelling methods to conquer cyber attacks:
• Don’t use FTP servers operating in an anonymous mode:
Criminals target protected information from institutions like medical
facilities to threaten, harass and blackmail providers. The use of FTP servers
that operate anonymously is a significant security risk because they can be
easily hacked thereby providing access to an organisation’s data.
• Strengthen the organisation’s weakest link of defence:
Cybercriminals target supply chains and look for the weakest spot to install
malware, which will affect all companies within the supply chain.

3. • Choose cybersecurity vendors carefully:
Organisations are now scrambling to hire experienced IT staff after a series
of cyber frauds in India that shocked various firms across the world.
However, it is wise to get consulting from outside as well as hiring external
experts who can evaluate the vulnerabilities of the entire organisation.
• Update threat intelligence:
Threat intelligence is organised, analysed and refined information about
potential or current attacks that can prove a threat to an organisation. The
main purpose of threat intelligence is helping organisations realise the risks
of the most severe external threats.
• Draft an Incident response plan:
An IRP helps to handle the situation in a way that limits damage and
reduces recovery time and costs. There are five key phases to an incident
response plan: preparation, identification, containment, eradication, and
recovery.
• Subscribe to identity protection:
Identity protection companies monitor your credit cards and other data for
a fee. Many companies offer a legit service and give the option to continue
service at your expense after the complimentary months.
• Sign up for real-time alerts:
Most banks and credit card companies have real-time notification services
that allow them to contact you in the event of a purchase attempt deemed
“unusual.” Go to your bank account or credit card home page and set a
purchase limit on your debit/credit card.
