Little essay of cybersecurity

1. Cybersecurity
Introduction
The informatic security is known too as cybersecurity, is an area that is focused to
the protection of the computational infrastructure and everything related with.
The cybersecurity refers about the practice of defend the computers, servers, mobile
devices, electronic systems, networks and any malware. The government of the
United States of America invest 13,000 millions of dollars per year in cybersecurity
but the cyberattacks are in a constantly evolution. The National Institute of Standars
and Technology recommends the continuous monitoring and in real time of all the
electronic resources.
Every time that you hear cybersecurity people though that is something that has
relation with hackers and yes but is not only that, is not only about attack the servers
or computers of a company, is about recognize, react and erase every kind of threat
faster as possible for avoid any kind of damage that the attacker could do and to
identify any kind of vulnerability that could be used by the attackers to get into the
system and do whatever they want. In the next part we will describe the types of
threats that you have to monitoring continuously:
• Intern threat: This is probably one of the dangerous threats in this matter
because this involves many people like the workers that knows about how the
environment works, how the network works, the location of the information
and every data that is of the interest of the attackers.

2. • Extern threat: Are the threats that are out of the network, the attackers that
doesn’t know the necessary information about the place that wants to attack
they need to do many steps to enter to the network that they want.
• Threats by effect: Could be stole of information, destruction of the
information, block the correct functioning of the system, identity supplantation,
etc.
• Threats by the way they use: In this part we talk about the way that the
attacker uses for enter into the system, etc.
This is a little view about how many ways an attacker could do for penetrate into the
place they want enter.
In the future people though that with evolution of the technology that is growing with
a very fast steps, the new trend of the cybercriminals will change into the
manipulation of the certificates that has the digital information.
Now a days we have the problem that now the attackers are professional and are
available to manipulate the information of the digital data.
We can talk about the internet of things and with the mirai network, the mirai network
is a network that has the purpose of infect routers, cameras and many other objects
that are connected to the internet of things and make that objects like zombies for
an DDoS attack for the place that you want to attack, this is a very recently new way
for attack using the new technology that is the internet of things.
For give protection to the system even if it’s the router for your personal internet you
need to protect that not only on the hardware, in the software you need to implement
many techniques of cryptology, cryptography and cryptoscience. This techniques of
protection needs to be implemented in all the parts that circulates information that
needs to be protected and not only on the more vulnerable parts.

3. Other way of protection is to use passwords that cant be deduced by the personal
data that you have and that need to be changed and if you use digital certifications
you could be more secure with your personal things.
In a resume way we can divide the fact about why the cybersecurity exist and are
the next main 3 points:
• Cybercrime: Includes individual people or groups of people that lead attacks
to different systems to get financial earnings, it could for enterprises or even
to a normal user, it depends about what the attackers wants to get or how
much.
• Cyberwar: Involves the recompilation of information about politic motivations
more commonly, another example could be the hypothetic manipulation of the
elections in United States with Donald Trump winning as president, but that
involves another kind of themes that this essay essay is not about.
• Cyberterrorism: The main purpose of this is to compromise the electronic
systems and cause panic and fear.
The more common way of how the attackers can control the computers or
networks includes informatic virus, worms, spyware and trojan virus. In continue
we are gonna explain about some of the virus that we mentioned before:
• Virus and worms: This kind of malware can autoreplicate themselves and
to damage systems and data.
• Spyware and trojans: This virus are used for the recompilation of data and
records, for enter in contact with this kind of malware the common user
only needs to open, for example, a mail or when a user downloads a
program that looks legitimate but in fact, that program have a malware.

4. There are many other kind of threats out there, in the network, if you download a
program, you can be infected with the insertion of a USB, etc. There are many ways
of how you can be infected with a virus but it depends of you to take the necessary
precautions to be secure, even with a simple password that has no relation with you,
with this simple precaution for begin you have more probabilities to be more secure
in the informatic media.
Conclusions
In conclusion there are many ways about how the cybersecurity works, and every
simple user that doesn’t know about cybersecurity is available to do his part by doing
a good password that has no relation with the personal data or his life so for the
attackers will be hard to decipher the information they need for enter to the place
they want, in a world that is everyday more connected and closer with the computers
we need to have a kind of culture of security, even with the more basic part like how
to make better passwords, how to navigate more secure in the network and all this
kind of stuffs, because people doesn’t steal only in person, sometimes they hide
themselves with a computer in front of them.
