                                     Cyber Security 

        As Find law says "Cyber crimes are criminal offenses committed via the internet or otherwise aided by various forms of computer technology, such as the use of online social networks to bully others or sending sexually explicit digital photos with a smart phone." This has been a problem that prevails from a very long time and there are form of different Cyber Securities coming up to combat Cyber crimes. “Cyber security is referred to as the information technology security, focuses on protecting computers, networks, programs and data from unintended or unauthorized access, change or destruction”.
       Cyber security is important because it helps us keep all the confidential information confidential and protects an individual's and company's privacy and a country's secret safe.To be able to do high level programing for developing ways to make online sites secured, the main requirement is know how the computer works and how programming is done.Thus, Computer Science is the most important part of Cyber Security. Few methods used for Cyber security are User account access control, Cryptography, Firewalls, Intrusion detection System.
   These have a great use in the current society when most people like to keep most of their important details on their phones or computers.User account access control is when the user has to provide authentication that it is he who is signing into his/her account and not anybody else. Cryptography is the practice and study of techniques for secure communication in the presence of third parties.Firewalls is a network security system that monitors and controls the incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predetermined security rules.An intrusion detection system (IDS) is a device or software application that monitors a network or systems for malicious activity or policy violations. Thanks to Computer Science are online systems can be made secured.

  1. Hi Ruhi,

    I understand that one of the consequences of the web is cyber crimes. Do you think it is important that people should study computer Science to protect them from cyber crime? Should Computer Science be a required course in high school curriculum?
