Cyber security means protecting data, networks, programs and
other information from unauthorized or unintended access, destruction or
alteration. The rapid development of technology and the availability of
the Internet to the majority of the public widens the path of cyber-crime. In
this era where cyber security is a major concern, the use of computers has
become commonplace. With the increasing penetration of the Internet, cyber
security is paramount for India’s development. Threats from people with
malicious intent may be due to negligence and vulnerabilities.
Various types
of attacks like virus, malware, spyware, phishing, ransomware, fraud etc. To
other computer systems, Infected web pages and malicious websites allow hackers
to gain illegal access. Opening email attachments carrying viruses, clicking on
malicious links or websites or inadvertently downloading any dangerous programs
or installing infected apps on mobile. Attackers can be crackers or

individual’s personal information and financial transactions. It can be used
for personal gain such as blackmailing and fraudulent transactions. It is also
important for individuals, organizations and countries. India still ranks
higher in cases of malware and ransomware attacks compared to global peers at 54%
