This document discusses cyber security and cyber crimes. It begins by defining cyber security and the need for it due to increasing cyber crimes like phishing, hacking, vishing and cyber stalking. It then examines global attack trends in different regions like Asia, America, Europe, Africa and Australia. It discusses information technology security techniques used and terminologies like malicious codes and scam. It explores overcoming cyber crimes through security policies, law enforcement, research and international collaboration. Finally, it concludes that cyber security is about managing future risks and incidents through a standardized model and coordinated international efforts.

3. VI. OVERCOMING CYBERCRIMES.
Overcoming the cyber crimes is the main aim of cyber
security in order to do that several aspects of has to be
considered including.
1) Security policy and legal framework: The security policy
must be kept tight to prevent law breakers from committing
cyber crimes. The legal framework especially must analyse
the system to create more opportunities for law enforcers to
prevent cyber criminals to commit their crimes.
2) Law enforcement: The laws established to guide the
right of privacy and ownership of product should be

should be enforced by law so that to protect the rights of
properties online.
3) Research and development: Worldwide research on
cyber security should be implemented so as to face the new
threat in the cyber world. The new ways of protection and
encryption should be developed to overcome the tactics of
experienced and more powerful hackers.
4) International Collaboration: International cooperation
is the most important thing if the war has to be won sharing
the ideas and opinions on how to overcome the problem of
cyber-crimes by establishing worldwide organisations to
deal with the situation.
