Computer crime, or cybercrime, is crime that involves a computer and a network. The computer may have been used in the commission of a crime, or it may be the target.
What is Cyber Security?
C
yber security, also known as computer security or IT security, is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and to the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. It includes controlling physical access to the hardware, as well as protecting against harm that may come via network access, data and code injection and due to malpractice by operators,whether intentional, accidental, or due to them being tricked into deviating from secure procedures.
The field is of growing importance due to the increasing reliance on computer systems in most societies and the growth of "smart" devices,including smartphones, televisions and tiny devices as part of the Internet of Things – and of the Internet and wireless network such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
Some organizations are turning to big data platforms, such as Apache Hadoop, to extend data accessibility and machine learning to detect advanced persistent threats.
Vulnerabilities and Attacks
Vulnerability is a system susceptibility or flaw, and much vulnerability are documented in the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database and vulnerability management is the cyclical practice of identifying, classifying, remediating, and mitigating vulnerabilities as they are discovered.
An exploitable vulnerability is one for which at least one working attack or "exploit" exists.
To secure a computer system, it is important to understand the attacks that can be made against it, and these threats can typically be classified into one of the categories below.
Cyber crime is an activity done using computers and internet. We can say that it is an unlawful acts wherein the computer either a tool or target or both.

MOBILE DEVICES: THE CASE FOR CYBER SECURITY HARDENED SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO ...Maurice Dawson
Mobile devices are becoming a method to provide an efficient and convenient way to access, find and share information; however, the availability of this information has caused an increase in cyber attacks. Currently, cyber threats range from Trojans and viruses to botnets and toolkits. Presently, 96% of mobile devices do not have preinstalled security software while approximately 65% of the vulnerabilities are found within the application layer. This lack in security and policy driven systems is an opportunityfor malicious cyber attackers to hack into the various popular devices. Traditional security software found in desktop computing platforms, such as firewalls, antivirus, and encryption, is widely used by the general public in mobile devices. Moreover, mobile devices are even more vulnerable than personal desktop computers because more people are using mobile devices to do personal tasks. This review attempts to display the importance of developing a national security policy created for mobile devices in order to protect sensitive and confidential data. Results of this review provide methods to address security related issues in mobile devices.
The Future of National and International Security on the InternetMaurice Dawson
Hyperconnectivity is a growing trend that is driving cyber security experts to develop new security architectures for multiple platforms such as mobile devices, laptops, and even wearable displays. The futures of national and international security rely on complex countermeasures to ensure that a proper security posture is maintained during this state of hyperconnectivity. To protect these systems from exploitation of vulnerabilities it is essential to understand current and future threats to include the laws that drive their need to be secured. Examined within this chapter are the potential security-related threats with the use of social media, mobile devices, virtual worlds, augmented reality, and mixed reality. Further reviewed are some examples of the complex attacks that could interrupt human-robot interaction, children-computer interaction, mobile computing, social networks, and human-centered issues in security design.

Current Challenges Facing Cyber Security
Abstract
Modern technology has been used today in various fields and it has proved to be of importance. Technology as a whole makes the world appear small in terms of distance due to fast transport and communication and a huge task to be less. Many people have been so dependent on technology, which is advancing fast. The technology faces quite several challenges with the main one being cyber-crimes in different organizations and that where cybersecurity plays its part in the protection of vital information from being accessed or destroyed by unauthorized individuals. Cybersecurity plays a significant role in ensuring that any computer-related information is secure, no harm can come to it or threat is detected early before it thrives (Raman, 2019, p.3). Despite that still, the cybersecurity faces a lot of challenges; the main objective of this paper is to focus on those challenges faced by cybersecurity, making it less effective in playing its role. Also on some of the measures that have been taken in preventing the crimes associated with computer systems (Sutherland, 2018, p. 27).
Introduction
The world today starting from an individual moving to the largest organizations, all at least have a computer system for either storing information or used in day to day activities. Human beings can communicate with their loved ones from the far distance, they can travel long distance within the shortest time possible, and also they make what is deemed to be less effective, to be efficient. This is how good the technology is and why people are obsessed with it day in day out. Before all this, there is still the fact that they are unable to safeguard their information mostly the private one (Sadeghi et al., 2015, p. 4). This is why this paper is of importance as it makes one realize that within a fraction of a second or a mini second one can lose over a million in his bank account, millions of passwords could be hacked, the funny part is that someone can give out your money for donation without your knowledge, a virus can be sent into your computer to disrupt it or malware this is mostly associated with computers. That is how cyber-crime is and you can imagine how the victims cope with such surprise events when they do occur, in some cases, others take their lives in such a situation. These may occur due to the lack of cybersecurity that allows computer and other machines to be exploited (Sutherland, 2018, p. 27).
Objectives
To come up with a strategy that can respond quickly from cyber incidents and also prevent them when they occur.
To ensure that there is integrity maintained and availability of linked systems.
Encourage the creation of cyber secured machines to fight cyber threats.

Introduction
Homeland Security has a wide range of organizations that fills in as a way to deal with shielding the United States locally and universally. These offices incorporate however are not restricted to U.S. Customs and Border Patrol, Transportation Security Administration, United States Coast Guard, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure, and so forth. These offices serves the administration in tending to at least one stages. For instance, The Federal Emergency Management Agency, otherwise called FEMA, is an organization that serves numerous partners in mitigating, planning, responding, and recovering from catastrophic events.
On a bigger degree, Cybersecurity is a developing and learning field that is utilized in Cybersecurity and Infrastructure and different organizations to shield significant specialized data from fear monger assaults, for example, hacking. Its primary unit of examination is the administration where relieving is the stage being polished. This principle point is basic to the Homeland Security and Emergency Management's (HSEM) discipline. As of now, there is an issue of how does Cybersecurity adequately change the danger of psychological militant assaults, wherein there are sure and negative credits to its methods for assurance. Innovation, organize security, basic frameworks including PC frameworks, and so forth is the thing that makes up Cybersecurity.
In spite of the fact that there might be a comprehension of what fear based oppression is, there has not yet been an unequivocal meaning of psychological oppression. As per Wilson, a few definitions for digital fear mongering can result from the assailants expectation while others centers on the impacts of the assault itself (Wilson, 2007). A few assaults can bring about mischief causing the death toll or harm while different assaults may bring about troublesome PCs and dread equivalents to fear based oppression. There should be a control on the yield of what dread is truly delegated with regards to an assault. When an infection occurs on a PC, is the proprietor of that PC apprehensive? On the off chance that the proprietor is apprehensive does it add up to a similar sort of dread starting at an aggressor from an alternate nation causing the infection? This can be alluded to what was the reason for that infection in any case.
When managing Cybersecurity and fear based oppression, there should be a decent measure of assaults occurring on the double or sequentially to cause dread inside the organization or nation. Digital fear mongers are seen assaulting different organizations consecutive for an extensive stretch in result accomplishing their objectives or if nothing else making consideration them (Lewis, 2002). In the event that the fear based oppressor neglects to increase any profit by their assault on a lot of PC frameworks, at that point it would n.

An Empirical Study on the Security Measurements of Websites of Jordanian Publ...CSCJournals
Most of the Jordanian universities’ inquiries systems, i.e. educational, financial, administrative, and research systems are accessible through their campus networks. As such, they are vulnerable to security breaches that may compromise confidential information and expose the universities to losses and other risks. At Jordanian universities, security is critical to the physical network, computer operating systems, and application programs and each area has its own set of security issues and risks. This paper presents a comparative study on the security systems at the Jordanian universities from the viewpoint of prevention and intrusion detection. Robustness testing techniques are used to assess the security and robustness of the universities’ online services. In this paper, the analysis concentrates on the distribution of vulnerability categories and identifies the mistakes that lead to a severe type of vulnerability. The distribution of vulnerabilities can be used to avoid security flaws and mistakes.
Running Head: INFORMATION SECURITY VULNERABILITY 2
Information Security Vulnerability
Introduction
The most important part of any business or organization information is the security infrastructure. All information big or small, sensitive or insensitive must be protected by some degree of information security. "Navigating the multitude of existing security standards, including dedicated standards for information security and frameworks for controlling the implementation of IT, presents a challenge to organizations. Adding to the challenge is the increase in activities of terrorist groups and organized criminal syndicates” (Sipior & Ward, 2008).
Threats and Vulnerabilities
Threats and vulnerabilities are a common occurrence in regards to computer security. Computer networks that are flawed and weak are vulnerable to be exploited. The exploitation of computer networks can be done by terrorist, hackers, and an organizations or business on employee. "Inexperience, improper training, and the making of incorrect assumptions are just a few things that can cause these misadventures" (Whitman & Mattord, 2009, p. 42).
Problem Statement:
What is the protocol if an organization or business most critical information is leaked or hacked that can cause grave damage to an organization, business, or customers account information? What would be the financial situation to recover from such attack with the network? The following questions are a few questions that top management must have in information security policies.
It is most likely that any organization or business profits would decrease and the reputation of each would change. With that comes the legality responsibility of the organization or business. Owning up to a security breach within an organization or business can be detrimental to the overall health of finances throughout the organization or business as well as notifying all parties involved in the breach. Having coverage such as insurance to protect the organization or business is a must and also a great deal to protect the reputation, assets, and continue functioning overall. "Although every state breach notification law covers businesses, there are differences regarding coverage of other entities such as government agencies and third-party storage providers, as well as differences regarding the information each law defines as 'personal'" (Shaw, 2010).
Relevance and Significance:
There will always be some type of glitch with in a computer network that may deter the system from being fully secured unless the computer is not being used. Information security program goals is to deliver a level of security platforms that supports the organization or business security infrastructure at its best by meeting all requirements set forth through the policy and controls and keeping the bad guys out.
Key Concepts
Confidentiality, integrity, and availability are the largest threats of sensitive information. The need to know must be .

Review on mobile threats and detection techniquesijdpsjournal
Since last-decade, smart-phones have gained widespread usage. Mobile devices store personal details
such as contacts and text messages. Due to this extensive growth, smart-phones are attracted towards
cyber-criminals. In this research work, we have done a systematic review of the terms related to malware
detection algorithms and have also summarized behavioral description of some known mobile malwares
in tabular form. After careful solicitation of all the possible methods and algorithms for detection of
mobile-based malwares, we give some recommendations for designing future malware detection algorithm
by considering computational complexity and detection ration of mobile malwares.
Understanding the Methods behind Cyber TerrorismMaurice Dawson
Cyber security has become a matter of national, international, economic, and societal importance that affects multiple nations (Walker, 2012). Since the 1990s users have exploited vulnerabilities to gain access to networks for malicious purposes. In recent years the number of attacks on U.S. networks has continued to grow at an exponential rate. This includes malicious embedded code, exploitation of backdoors, and more. These attacks can be initiated from anywhere in the world from behind a computer with a masked Internet Protocol (IP) address. This type of warfare, cyber warfare, changes the landscape of war itself (Beidleman, 2009). This type of warfare removes the need to have a physically capable military and requires the demand for a force that has a strong technical capacity e.g. computer science skills. The U.S. and other countries have come to understand that this is an issue and has developed policies to handle this in an effort to mitigate the threats.
In Estonia and Georgia there were direct attacks on government cyber infrastructure (Beildleman, 2009). The attacks in Estonia rendered the government’s infrastructure useless. The government and other associated entities heavily relied upon this e-government infrastructure. These attacks help lead to the development of cyber defense organizations within Europe.

a b s t r a c t
Information security breaches are increasingly motivated by fraudulent and criminal
motives. Reducing their considerable costs has become a pressing issue. Although
cybersecurity has strong public good characteristics, most information security
decisions are made by individual stakeholders. Due to the interconnectedness of
cyberspace, these decentralized decisions are afflicted with externalities that can
result in sub-optimal security levels. Devising effective solutions to this problem is
complicated by the global nature of cyberspace, the interdependence of stakeholders, as
well as the diversity and heterogeneity of players. The paper develops a framework for
studying the co-evolution of the markets for cybercrime and cybersecurity. It examines
the incentives of stakeholders to provide for security and their implications for the ICT
ecosystem. The findings show that market and non-market relations in the information
infrastructure generate many security-enhancing incentives. However, pervasive
externalities remain that can only be corrected by voluntary or government-led
collective measures.

1. Introduction
Malicious software (‘‘malware’’) has become a serious security threat for users of the Internet. Estimates of the total cost
to society of information security breaches vary but data published by private security firms, non-profit organizations, and
government, all indicate that their cost is non-negligible and increasing. From a societal point of view, not only the direct
cost (e.g., repair cost, losses due to fraud) but also indirect costs (e.g., costs of preventative measures) and implicit costs
(e.g., slower productivity increases due to reduced trust in electronic transactions) have to be attributed to information
security breaches. Bauer, Van Eeten, Chattopadhyay, and Wu (2008) in a meta-study of a broad range of research conclude
that a conservative estimate of these costs may fall between 0.2% and 0.4% of global GDP. A catastrophic security fail ...

Understanding the Challenge of Cybersecurity in Critical Infrastructure SectorsMaurice Dawson
The cybersecurity of critical infrastructures is an essential topic within national and international security as 16 critical infrastructure sectors touch various aspects of American society. Because the failure to provide adequate cybersecurity controls within the critical infrastructure sectors renders the country open to an attack that could have a debilitating effect on security, national public health, safety, and economic security, this matter is so vital that there is the Presidential Policy Directive (PPD) 21 Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience advances a national policy to strengthen and maintain secure, functioning and resilient critical infrastructure. An organization identified as the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has the mission to be the risk advisor for the United States (US). Other organizations, such as the National Security Agency (NSA), have approved a specific Knowledge Unit (KU) to address cybersecurity for critical infrastructures associated with doctoral-level granting programs. To address this challenge, it is necessary to identify threats better and defend against them while mitigating risks to an acceptable level. Only then can a nation build a more secure and resilient infrastructure for the future while defending against present-day bad actors as cyberwarfare, cyber espionage, and cybersecurity attacks are the modern-day threats that need to be addressed in planning, designing, implementation, and maintenance. Therefore, the researchers developed a case study reviewing threats against different sectors defined in the PPD.

Unprepared for Cybersecurity in Saudi Arabia: Argument for a Shift Towards Cy...Maurice Dawson
In this paper, the researcher briefly discusses the attacks that have occurred recently within Saudi Arabia to entities such as Saudi Aramco to the Ministry of Health. These attacks are aggressions against government institutions that can render a sector vulnerable. Observing the ongoing attacks on critical infrastructure in Ukraine one can see a replication of similar attacks that could occur and spread over the Middle East. As this nation is a politically turbulent region, there is no small number of external threats. To combat these evolving threat, a shift towards cyber readiness must occur. This includes new laws, security hardened technologies, and education for people living in the kingdom.
An ever-evolving technological landscape also means a rapidly changing digital battlefield. The integration of intelligence, psychological operations, information warfare, data science, and cybersecurity has allowed for unparalleled events to be possible. This session is to explore the landscape and sample some of the applications to perform this exploration.

Information Technology Use in West African Agriculture – challenges and oppor...Maurice Dawson
Many countries in the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) are using Information Communications Technology (ICT) to enhance agriculture development and production. To do this efficiently the John Ogonowski and Doug Bereuter Farmer-to-Farmer Program managed for West Africa by Winrock International has been tasked with providing volunteer assignments to ministries of agriculture. The University of Missouri - Saint Louis (UMSL) has entered a partnership with Winrock International to offer upper-level undergraduate and graduate students the opportunity to provide technical assistance to international government entities. In this panel; we discuss findings and opportunities for improvement in Guinea and Senegal as they relate to ICT discovered through the onsite support provided.

This article critically analyzes a project executed for the The John Ogonowski and Doug Bereuter Farmer-to-Farmer Program which provides technical assistance with volunteers from the United States to farmers, agricultural institutions, and government organizations involved in agriculture such as the Ministry of Agriculture. In Guinea, the focus is on computer literacy as more sectors of agriculture rely on computing technology. These skills needs range from basic computing tasks such as creating databases to more advanced items such as programming Global Positional Systems. This study looks at findings, based on the analysis of the System Usability Scale results from a sample of 16 participants. The findings demonstrated that the training proved to be effective for the participants and continued training is necessary. As a result of training 62.5% of the participants ranked above average, as opposed to 43.6% prior to training.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

9. Introduction
Hyperconnectivity is a growing trend that is driving cyber security
experts to develop new security architectures for multiple platforms
such as mobile devices, laptops, and even wearable displays. The
futures of national and international security rely on complex
countermeasures to ensure that a proper security posture is
maintained during this state of hyperconnectivity. To protect these
systems from exploitation of vulnerabilities it is essential to
understand current and future threats to include the laws that drive
their need to be secured. Examined within this presentation are the
potential security related threats with the use of social media,
mobile devices, virtual worlds, augmented reality, and mixed reality.
Further reviewed are some examples of the complex attacks that could
interrupt human-robot interaction, children-computer interaction,
mobile computing, social networks, and more through human
centered issues in security design.
11. Information Assurance Defined
Information Assurance (lA) is defined as the practice of
protecting and defending information and information
systems by ensuring their availability, integrity,
authentication, confidentiality and non repudiation. This
definition also encompasses disaster recovery, physical
security, cryptography, application security, and business
continuity of operations.
12. Cyber Terrorism
Cyber terrorism is on the rise
and is constantly affecting
millions every day. These
malicious attacks can affect
one single person to entire
government entities.
These attacks can be done with
a few lines of code or large
complex programs that have
the ability to target specific
hardware.
As the United States
government has stated, an act
of cyber terrorism is an act of
war; it is imperative that we
explore this new method of
terrorism and how it can be
mitigated to an acceptable risk.
13. Recent Events
Cyber security has become a matter of
national, international, economic, and
societal importance that affects multiple
nations (Walker, 2012).
ln Estonia and Georgia there were direct
attacks on government cyber
infrastructure (Beidleman, 2009). The
attacks in Estonia rendered the
government's infrastructure useless.
The government and other associated
entities heavily relied upon this e-
government infrastructure. These
attacks help lead to the development of
cyber defense organizations that drive
laws and policies within Europe.
14. Laws and Policies to Combat
Terrorism
The USA PATRIOT was signed into law by President George W.
Bush in 2001 after September 11, 200 I (Bullock, Haddow,
Coppola, & Yeletaysi, 2009). This act was created in response
to the event of 9/11 which provided government agencies
increased abilities. These increased abilities provided the
government rights to search various communications such as
email, telephone records, medical records, and more of those
who were thoughts of terrorist acts (Bullock, Haddow,
Coppola, & Yeletaysi, 2009).
15. Stuxnet Worm
During the fall of 20 l 0 many headlines declared
that Stuxnet was the game-changer in terms of
cyber warfare (Denning, 2012). This malicious
worm was complex and designed to target only a
specific system. This worm had the ability to detect
location, system type, and more. And this worm
only attacked the system if it met specific
parameters that were designed in the code.
Stuxnet tampered directly with software in a
programmable logic controller (PLC) that controlled
the centrifuges at Natanz. This tampering ultimately
caused a disruption in the Iranian nuclear program.
16. SCADA Systems
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is
concerned with cyber attacks on infrastructure such as
supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA)
systems. SCADA systems are the systems that
autonomously monitor and adjust switching among
other processes within critical infrastructures such as
nuclear plants, and power grids. DHS is worried about
these systems as they are unmanned frequently and
remotely accessed. As they are remotely accessed,
this could allow anyone to take control of assets to
critical infrastructure remotely.
There has been increasing mandates and directives to
ensure any system deployed meets stringent
requirements. As the Stuxnet worm has become a
reality, future attacks could be malicious code directly
targeting specific locations of critical infrastructure.
22. Legitimate Applications that Can
Be Used to Retrieve Information
Presently, there is valid spy software available for various
smartphones. An example of this is FlexiSpy, a legitimate commercial
spyware program that cost over $300 (United States Computer
Emergency Readiness Team, 2010). FlexiSpy can:
Listen to actual phone calls as they happen;
Secretly read Short Message Service (SMS) texts, call logs, and
emails;
Listen to the phone surroundings (use as remote bugging device);
View phone GPS location;
Forward all email events to another inbox;
Remotely control all phone functions via SMS;
Accept or reject communication based on predetermined lists; and
Evade detection during operation (United States Computer
Emergency Readiness Team,2010).
23. Internet Stalking
The increase of the social networking trend can be based on the security
features of for every user. Internet stalking can be noted by a threat
from an outside source that harms or conflicts harm to a piece of
information or person. These threats can international or nation
depending on where the organization or user is geographically located.
With internet stalking being noted more often in today's society; it is
also presumed that people are also becoming more vulnerable to
attacks from internet insecurity. Insecure internet can be looked at
based on what the user currently is using in terms of connectivity but
can always be looked at as a threat to any customer.
When international threats are aimed at consumers, it can be perceived
as a threat that is directed to the nation based that it is from outside the
country. These circumstances can be legal or illegal based on the source
of the threat. Many users see these types of threats as being identified
as acts of terror based that many users do not know much information
about the types of threats that are visible.
