Introduction
What is Cyber Crime?
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.

What is Social Engineering? An illustrated presentation.Pratum
Social engineering relies profoundly on human interaction and often involves the misleading of employees into violating their organization’s security procedures. Humans are naturally helpful, but when it comes to protecting an organization’s security, being helpful to an outsider can do more harm than good.
These slides discuss social engineering, the most common attack methods, and the best means for defending against a social engineering attack.

Cryptography is the science of using mathematics to encrypt and decrypt data.
Cryptography enables you to store sensitive information or transmit it across insecure networks so that it cannot be read by anyone except the intended recipient.
How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends:
Exposing the device to a management framework
Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic
Exposing that business layer and data to end users.
This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles between cloud, APIs and native hardware/software configurations.
A computer network is defined as the interconnection of two or more computers. It is done to enable the computers to communicate and share available resources.
Components of computer network
Network benefits
Disadvantages of computer network
Classification by their geographical area
Network classification by their component role

2. Objectives
• Understand why security is
important
• Describe security threats
• Identify security procedures
• Identify common preventive
maintenance techniques for
security
3. The Importance of Security
• Private information, company
secrets, financial data, computer
equipment, and items of national
security are placed at risk if
proper security procedures are
not followed.
• A technician’s primary
responsibilities include data and
network security
4. Security Threats
Internal threats
• Employees can cause a
malicious threat or an accidental
threat.
External Threats
• Outside users can attack in an
unstructured or structured way.
5. Types of attacks to computer security
Physical
• Theft, damage, or destruction to
computer equipment.
Data
• Removal, corruption, denial of
access, unauthorized access, or
theft of information.
6. Adware,
Spyware
and
Phishing
• Adware - software program that displays
advertising on your computer, often displayed
in a pop-up window.
• Spyware - distributed without user intervention
or knowledge, monitors activity on the
computer.
• Phishing - attacker pretends to represent a
legitimate organization and asks for verification
of victims information such as password or
username
7. Viruses,
Worms
• A virus is a software code that is deliberately
created by an attacker. Viruses may collect
sensitive information or may alter or destroy
information.
• A worm is a self-replicating program that uses
the network to duplicate its code to the hosts
on the network. At a minimum, worms consume
bandwidth in a network.
8. Trojans &
Rootkits • A Trojan is malicious software that is disguised
as a legitimate program. It is named for its
method of getting past computer defenses by
pretending to be something useful.
• A Rootkit is a malicious program that gains full
access to a computer system. Often, a direct
attack on a system using a known vulnerability
or password.
9. Spam & Pop-ups
• Spam is unsolicited email that
can be used to send harmful
links or deceptive content.
• Popups are windows that
automatically open and are
designed to capture your
attention and lead you to
advertising sites.
10. Social
Engineering
A social engineer is a person who is able to gain
access to equipment or a network by tricking
people into providing the necessary access
information.
To protect against social engineering:
• Never give out a password.
• Never post your password.
• Lock your computer when you leave your
desk.
• Do not let anyone follow you through a door
that requires an access card
11. Security Policy
A security policy should describe how a company
addresses security issues.
Questions to answer in writing local security policy:
• What assets require protection?
• What are the possible threats?
• What should be done in the event of a security
breach?
• What training will be in place to educate the end
users?
12. Usernames and Passwords
• Change the default username for
accounts such as administrator or
guest.
• Network admin defines a naming
convention for usernames.
• Three levels of password
protection are recommended:
• BIOS
• Login
• Network
13. Guidelines for creating strong passwords
• Length - Use at least eight characters.
• Complexity - Include letters,
numbers, symbols, and punctuation,
not just common letters and
characters.
• Variation - Change passwords often.
Set a reminder to change the
passwords every three to four months.
• Variety - Use a different password for
each site or computer that you use.
