6. COMPUTER HACKING
The act of compromising digital devices and
networks through unauthorized access to an
account or computer system. Hacking is not always
a malicious act, but it is most commonly associated
with illegal activity and data theft by cyber criminals.

8. A white hat is an ethical computer
hacker, or a computer security expert,
who specializes in penetration testing
and other testing methodologies that
ensure the security of an organization's
information systems. Ethical hacking is
a term meant to imply a broader
category than just penetration testing.

9. As a penetration tester, you will perform
authorized tests on computer systems
in order to expose weaknesses in their
security that could be exploited by
criminals. You can choose to specialise
in manipulating a particular type of
system, such as: networks and
infrastructures.

WHAT DOES A BLACK
HAT HACKER DO?
A black hat hacker is a hacker who
violates computer security for their
own personal profit or out of malice.

UNETHICAL HACKING
Black Hat hackers are criminals who break into
computer networks with malicious intent. They may
also release malware that destroys files, holds
computers hostage, or steals passwords, credit
card numbers, and other personal information.

13. One of the most famous black hat hackers is Kevin Mitnick, who, at
one point, was the most wanted cybercriminal in the world. As a black
hat hacker, he hacked into over 40 major corporations, including IBM
and Motorola, and even the US National Defense warning system.

15. COMPUTER SECURITY
Computer security,
cybersecurity, or information
technology security is the
protection of computer systems
and networks from information
disclosure, theft of or damage to
their hardware, software, or
electronic data, as well as from
the disruption or misdirection of
the services they provide.
11-4-21 15
MASTER IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY – NONESCOST - SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY OF IT

16. Also called cybersecurity, the protection of
computer systems and information from harm,
theft, and unauthorized use. Computer
hardware is typically protected by the same
means used to protect other valuable or
sensitive equipment—namely, serial numbers,
doors and locks, and alarms.

18. As a cybersecurity professional, problem-
solving will play a major role in your day-
to-day work. Those in the field need to
find creative ways to take on and address
complex information security challenges
across a variety of existing and emerging
technologies and digital environments.

19. As the name implies, cybersecurity is a
technology-focused field: you will be likely be
tasked with responsibilities such as
troubleshooting, maintaining, and updating
information security systems; implementing
continuous network monitoring; and providing
real-time security solutions. Being technologically
savvy is essential in order to perform the daily
activities of a cybersecurity professional.
Technical aptitude helps assess a candidate's:
Ability to reason with logic

20. Cybersecurity isn't just limited to
computers: you'll need to be
comfortable working on a variety of
operating systems, computer
systems, mobile devices, cloud
networks, and wireless networks -
and keep up to date on advances in
the field for all of them.

21. Being able to defend an organization
against cyber breaches requires you to be
highly vigilant and detail-oriented, in order
to effectively detect vulnerabilities and
risks. You'll like be responsible for
continuous network monitoring and will
need to be able to quickly identify
concerns and come up with real-time
security solutions to address them.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF COMPUTER SECURITY
THERE ARE THREE DIFFERENT TYPES OF COMPUTER SECURITY. THEY ARE AS
FOLLOWS
MASTER IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY – NONESCOST - SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY OF IT
PROFESSIONAL

23. This type of computer security is one of
the simplest and easiest to interpret.
Anyone who has access to the computer
can access it.
Always we need to make sure not to share
our passwords in-order to safeguard our
system from data thefts.
11-4-21 23
DIFFERENT TYPES OF COMPUTER SECURITY
PHYSICAL SECURITY
Our computers should not be left
unattended, as others can access
all our files.
Physical security is one of the
basic securities that one must
consider.
MASTER IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY – NONESCOST - SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY OF IT
PROFESSIONAL

24. Firewall is one of the most
important computer security.
11-4-21 24
DIFFERENT TYPES OF COMPUTER SECURITY
NETWORK SECURITY
This firewall helps the network
security by stopping any of the
unauthorized networks that
would attempt to access your
computer.
MASTER IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY – NONESCOST - SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY OF IT
PROFESSIONAL

25. Anti-virus security is known as
executable security.
This type of security is quite complex
as it requires a team to code the anti-
virus. Anti-virus is a must, to block the
virus from attacking the system.
11-4-21 25
DIFFERENT TYPES OF COMPUTER SECURITY
EXECUTABLE SECURITY
These anti-virus securities are called
executable security as they are
executable files that need to be run
on the computer, to be installed. With
this, our computers would be more
reliable.
MASTER IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY – NONESCOST - SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY OF IT
PROFESSIONAL

26. IMPORTANCE OF COMPUTER SECURITY
Computer security is one of the most important aspects,
as it keeps all our data safe.
Prevention helps to stop hackers (unauthorized users)
from accessing our computers.
11-4-21 MASTER IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY – NONESCOST - SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY OF IT
PROFESSIONAL

27. IMPORTANCE OF COMPUTER SECURITY
Today most of the transactions that we perform from shopping to
banking are by accessing the websites (through a network).
The main intention of a hacker is to attack the system and get all
the data stored in the system.
Once the hacker can access different computers, they can cause
damage by formatting the hard drive.
Also, it would be easy for the hacker to attack other computers
through your computer as they can hide their actual information.

SOME OF THE OBJECTIVES FOR COMPUTER SECURITY
IN ANY ORGANIZATION ARE
• Confidentiality – This means that information should be
accessed only by authorized users.
11-4-21 MASTER IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY – NONESCOST - SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY OF IT

29. 29
SOME OF THE OBJECTIVES FOR COMPUTER SECURITY
IN ANY ORGANIZATION ARE
• Integrity – Here information should be added, modified, or
deleted only by an authorized user which means we need to
protect information being modified.

SOME OF THE OBJECTIVES FOR COMPUTER SECURITY
IN ANY ORGANIZATION ARE
• Availability – This means that the information should be
available only to authorized people on demand.

31. 31
HOW TO SECURE YOUR COMPUTER FROM
UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS
• Secure passwords – Always we should keep in mind to
create passwords that have at least 15 characters which
include capital letters, special characters, and numbers.
• Anti-virus – Make sure to install and update the anti-virus
regularly to prevent malware. Examples are Norton and
McAfee.
11-4-21 MASTER IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY – NONESCOST - SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY OF IT
PROFESSIONAL

32. 32
HOW TO SECURE YOUR COMPUTER FROM
UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS
• Two-way authentication – Here there would be two layers of
authentication making it difficult for the hackers to get access
to your accounts.
• Firewalls – Firewalls do not allow unauthorized users from
accessing the network connected to the internet.
11-4-21 MASTER IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY – NONESCOST - SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY OF IT
PROFESSIONAL

33. 33
HOW TO SECURE YOUR COMPUTER FROM
UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS
• Anti-phishing tactics – Attackers normally try to send an
email with a malicious link or ask us to provide our data or
send us any attached files. By doing this (by clicking on the
malicious link, sending our personal data, or clicking on any
attachments) we fall into their trap and they would succeed to
hack our computers.

HOW TO SECURE YOUR COMPUTER FROM
UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS
• Encryption – This is a method of converting plain text to
secret text. Many applications follow this – Banking
transactions, Computer passwords, etc.
