Network Safety : A Research for Society

2019

With the ushering in of the information age, a wide range of technologies in the field of computer science have emerged such that many network techniques are broadly utilized in different sectors of the society at large and in its wake not only has made great economic and social benefits, but also have immensely promoted the rapid development in culture and systems. While the openness and adaptability of computer network has brought us a ton of benefits both throughout our lives and work, it also has caused a series of information security problems which put our life at risk. With the fast advancement of computer network technology, ensuring the security of the computer becomes a very essential factor that cannot be disregarded. Three major threats confronting computer network security include: threat from hackers, computer virus and denial of service attacks whiles some measures leading to the safety of the network also include legal measures, technical measures as well as management measures. This paper seeks to investigate the primary risk confronting computer network security, address system security innovations and advances to help tackle the shrouded risk of the current basic system security.

This research is dedicated to the study of the problems the information systems of most states is currently facing and the methods of information system protection. Due to the fast development of new information technologies, the potential of information systems increases, ecommerce develops, and at the same time forms a platform for cybercrime, acts of cyber terrorism and other actions that become a threat to the national security of the state. In these circumstances, the activity of information systems must be coordinated and regulated by normative and legislative acts on the rights and security measures of persons and information. Violation of the information system security of the public authorities and other institutions may compromise the confidentiality and integrity of this information, and consequently cause financial or material damage, including damage to the security of the State. The security of computer networks is an essential factor for the proper functioning of the information society. Information systems are threatened both internally and externally. EU and its Member States are facing today internal and external security challenges which represent a complex, dynamic and open system. They are complex, constantly expanding and interdependent. Information security is used primarily to provide assurance that intellectual property rights are adequately protected.

Next steps Ø The Lisbon and Feira European Councils recognised the Internet as a key driver in the productivity of EU economies when launching the eEurope 2002 Action Plan. Against this background the Stockholm European Council on 23-24 March 2001 concluded "the Council together with the Commission will develop a comprehensive strategy on security of electronic networks including practical implementing action. This should be presented in time for the Göteborg European Council." This Communication is the European Commission's response to this request. A changing environment

Data protection and information security have become more important these days due to hacking and leak of the information costs more for the organizations. The computers run a variety of software applications, including older versions of that may sometimes contain vulnerabilities that can be exploited by malicious actors. Keeping up with the software updates and upgrades, in addition to applying the manufacturer-recommended patches, minimizes many of the vulnerabilities. The malicious individuals or criminals (e.g., hackers) target individuals and organizations to gain access to personal information are through emails containing malicious code-this is referred to as phishing. Once the infected emails are opened, the user's machine can be compromised.

Network Security is the most vital component in information security because it is responsible for securing all information passed through networked computers. Network Security refers to all hardware and software functions, characteristics, features, operational procedures, accountability, measures, access control, and administrative and management policy required to provide an acceptable level of protection for Hardware and Software , and information in a network. The internet structure itself allowed for many security threats to occur. The architecture of the internet, when modified can reduce the possible attacks that can be sent across the network. Knowing the attack methods, allows for the appropriate security to emerge. Many businesses secure themselves from the internet by means of firewalls and encryption mechanisms. The businesses create an “intranet” to remain connected to the internet but secured from possible threats.

With the development of computerization, information and communication technologies (ICT) are rapidly penetrating in all areas of human life. The state of information security and security of information systems is at a relatively low level. Threats and risks related to ICT by relevance and severity of possible consequences are most often directed at the state level, somewhat less towards banks, insurance companies, marketing and other companies that have larger amounts of personal data of users. However, small businesses and individuals are also very often exposed to the attacks. The authors analyze the legal environment in the IT sector of the Slovak Republic. After introductory considerations, the paper analyzes the legal regulations of the European Union and, in particular, of the Slovak Republic. The accent was placed on the security standards of the information systems of Slovakia. After that, the technical norms of relevance to the security of information and communication technologies are discussed. The authors dealt with long-term issues of security and the spread of good practice in the protection of property, information and communication systems. The aim of this article is to present the standard security and information systems of the European Union. Based on the research carried out, the authors point out that the goal of the academic environment should be to continuously find solutions to the new and emerging challenges that arise every day. One of the most difficult tasks is the transfer of this new knowledge into the legal framework and technical standards.

In this age of growing and developing information and technology, data security, integrity and confidentiality are essential aspects related to shared data over some network or medium. Many techniques over the years have been developed for securing the messages from attack or theft or breach of very sensible and essential data when shared over a network. The security threats to data have been ascending, so are the data hiding or securing techniques. This is where Information Security has a role to play. Development of techniques and methods that prevents the essential and secret data being stolen and thus providing security to the data. This paper discusses the significance of Information Security, its evolution since its infant stage and study about various subdomains of the same. This paper also shows a comparative study of various Information Security Techniques, their pros and cons and the applications in various domains. This paper analyses various Information Security methods ...

This article on cyber security has offered a highly decentralized communications model for processing risk-management information about critical information infrastructures, one that can be applied at both the international and national levels. Whereas security is typically regulated at the government level, cyber security is at once national, international, public and private in character. The urgent task ahead is to identify the key information flows that are required for cyber security and to establish linkages among the various organizational entities that can best collect and use this information.
