Cyber Security Challenges

With the increase of the cyber-attacks, every organization needs a security analyst who makes sure that their system is secured. These security analysts face many challenges related to cyber security such as securing confidential data of government organizations, securing the private organization servers, etc.

Ransomware Evolution

Ransomware is a type of malware in which the data on a victim's computer is locked, and payment is demanded before the ransomed data is unlocked. After successful payment, access rights returned to the victim. Ransomware is the bane of cyber security, data professionals, IT, and executives.
Ransomware attacks are growing day by day in the areas of cybercrime. IT professionals and business leaders need to have a powerful recovery strategy against the malware attacks to protect their organization. DRaaS solutions are the best defense against the ransomware attacks. DRaaS solutions method, we can automatically back up our files, easily identify which backup is clean, and launch a fail-over with the press of a button when malicious attacks corrupt our data.

Block chain technology is the most important invention in computing era. It is the first time in human history that we have a genuinely native digital medium for peer-to-peer value exchange. The block chain is a technology that enables crypto currencies like Bitcoin. The block chain is a vast global platform that allows two or more parties to do a transaction or do business without needing a third party for establishing trust.
It is difficult to predict what block chain systems will offer in regards to cyber security. The professionals in cyber security can make some educated guesses regarding block chain. As the application and utility of block chain in a cyber-security context emerges, there will be a healthy tension but also complementary integrations with traditional, proven, cyber security approaches.

IoT stands for Internet of Things. It is a system of interrelated physical devices which can be accessible through the internet. The connected physical devices have a unique identifier (UID) and have the ability to transfer data over a network without any requirements of the human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction.
When IoT things were designed, it is not considered in mind about the used in cyber security and for commercial purposes. Every organization needs to work with cyber security professionals to ensure the security of their password policies , session handling , user verification , multi-factor authentication , and security protocols to help in managing the risk.

AI short form is Artificial intelligence. According to John McCarthy, father of Artificial Intelligence defined AI: "The science and engineering of making intelligent machines, especially intelligent computer programs."
It is an area of computer science which is the creation of intelligent machines that do work and react like humans. Some of the activities related to artificial intelligence include speech recognition, Learning, Planning, Problem-solving, etc. AI take immediate action against the malicious attacks at a moment when a threats impact a business. IT business leaders and cyber security strategy teams consider AI as a future protective control that will allow our business to stay ahead of the cyber security technology curve.

Serverless architecture and apps is an application which depends on third-party cloud infrastructure or on a back-end service such as google cloud function, Amazon web services (AWS) , lambda , etc. The serverless apps invite the cyber attackers to spread threats on their system easily because the users access the application locally or off-server on their device. Therefore it is the user responsibility for the security precautions while using serverless application.
The serverless apps do nothing to keep the attackers away from our data. The serverless application doesn't help if an attacker gains access to our data through a vulnerability such as leaked credentials, a compromised insider or by any other means then serverless.
The serverless applications are typically small in size. It helps developers to launch their applications quickly and easily. They don't need to worry about the underlying infrastructure. The web-services and data processing tools are examples of the most common serverless apps.
