“Thousands of cyber-attacks […] are striking at the private sector, strike at stock market, strike at other institutions within our society, strike at government, strike at the defence department, our intelligence agencies. Cyber is now at a point where the technology is there to cripple a country, to take down our power grid systems, to take down our government systems, take down our financial systems and literally paralyze the country."

In the new era, business has transformed its work-style from reality to virtual reality.

3 Cyber Security

The whole world is swiped by this strategy for its accuracy and non-redundancy measure.

4 Cyber Security

This new sector where free flow and

accuracy has lowered down the

operational cost of big

conglomerate whereas it has bullion

threat from the remote cyber

criminal on the other hand.

5 Cyber Security

In recent years, cyber-crime has become increasingly sophisticated, making it difficult to combat, detect and mitigate. The rise of a relatively new class of cyber-attack is especially troubling. This new class is referred to as an ‘Advanced Persistent Threat’ (APT).

*Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) are usually directed at business

and political targets for political ends. APTs involve stealth to

persistently infiltrate a system over a long period of time, without the

system displaying any unusual symptoms.

6 Cyber Security

Examples of cyber-attacks

Attack on South Korea’s banks and broadcasters, 2013. A suspected

cyber-attack brought down systems and computers at some of South

Korea’s major banks and broadcasters. As a result, the local equity

market declined 1.0%.

The Flame virus, 2012. Thought to have been operating since 2010, the

Flame virus was detected in 2012. The virus code is seen as some of the

most sophisticated and largest malicious code to date. It infiltrated

computers belonging to the Iranian Oil Ministry, the Iranian National Oil

Company and other networks in Hungary, Lebanon, Austria, Russia, Hong

Kong and the United Arab Emirates - stealing and deleting information

from the systems. Part of the functionality of the virus including turning

on microphones of computers to secretly record conversations, taking

screen grabs of infected computers and stealing credentials of high-level

and administrative users.

7 Cyber Security

Examples of cyber-attacks

Red October cyber-attack, 2013. Targeting governmental and diplomatic

organisations. The Red October attack was discovered in January of this

year, but is believed to have been operating undetected for a number of

years. The attack effectively stole confidential and encrypted documents

(including deleted ones) from embassies, nuclear research centres and

oil and gas companies of US. Information targeted included geopolitically

sensitive data and credentials to access protected computer systems.

The malicious code was also able to detect when a USB stick was

inserted into a networked computer and undelete and steal any files on

the stick. The cyber-crime racket behind the attacks shut-down their

operations after the attacks were made public and documented.

8 Cyber Security

Examples of cyber-attacks

The MiniDuke Cyber-attack on EU governmental organizations and

operators of critical infrastructure.13 The MiniDuke Cyber-attack

exploited a flaw in Adobe’s Acrobat reader to enter computer networks

and gather information.

Operation Aurora, 2009. Attacks against some of the largest internet,

technology and defence companies such as Google, Adobe, Juniper,

Yahoo!, Northrup Grumman. The cyber-attack modified source code by

exploiting vulnerabilities in an internet browser.

9 Cyber Security

Social Responsibility To overcome this mission critical situation of cyber sabotage, the

skilled man-force of cyber expert is the solution.

After China and US, India has the highest number of internet users.

Besides, there are over 381 million mobile phone subscriptions with

internet connectivity. 

“Today, there are more than 2 billion people online, who need to be

protected. Cyber attacks are already happening on a daily basis in

the world and as we grow more and more ‘connected’, the threats

also become more complex and difficult. On Facebook, there are 50

million Indian users and even if a small fraction of them click

unsuspectingly on a malevolent but seemingly ordinary link, you

have that many computers opened up to risk and infection,” –

Former Minister Shashi Tharoor stated.

10 Cyber Security

Social Responsibility India will require five lakh cybersecurity professionals by 2015 to support

its fast growing internet economy as per an estimate by the union

ministry of information technology.

Every organization across verticals will require cybersecurity

professionals. Therefore, the estimate of 5 lakh looks very conservative

for a strong internet economy like India. The actual requirement for

cyber security professionals would be in multiples.

University Grants Commission directed all university vice chancellors in

the country to introduce curriculum around cyber security in their

respective colleges to meet this talent demand.

Quoting a Gartner report in its letter, UGC said, "The country's

information security market is expected to grow by 18% to reach Rs

1,415 crore in 2013 on the back of increased spending by companies to

secure their information assets. Despite a continuing economic slowdown

that has been putting pressure on IT budgets around the world, cyber

security spending globally would continue on an upward trajectory,

reaching $86 billion in 2016, up from $60 billion in 2012.“

11 Cyber Security

Social Responsibility

Cyber security ensures realization and controlling of

security properties of an organization’s as well as

users’ intellectual and financial assets against relevant

security risks in the cyber environment.

BUT…

Cyber expertise can be taught in the syllabus as a part

of curriculum in colleges but practically its hard to

horn the skill with expertise.

12 Cyber Security

Social Responsibility Out of 10 buddying engineers/MCA/BCA… pass out,

hardly 2-3 get placed in job. This is due to the

additional and demanding skill required by the

recruiting company.

Cyber Professional is the very need of every individual

company to protect its virtual infrastructure of

company asset.

Cyber Security Market worth $155.74 Billion by 2019.

Cyberfort Technolgies is the all to all solution where

cyber security is taught with complete passion and

help shaping the career of buddying young cyber

professionals.
