The threat of online security: How safe is our data? How many times have we heard of a financial institution's website getting hacked and confidential and sensitive customer data getting into the hands of cyber criminals? Customer data theft from ecommerce platforms, which can lead to ID theft and online fraud has jumped to the top of concern for ecommerce businesses, according to a new report. Therefore, it is always a need to update security software to keep our data safe from threats. There are some of the threats to online security like botnets. Botnet is a huge number of hijacked Internet computers that have been set up to forward traffic, including spam and viruses, to other computers on the Internet. The computer is compromised via a Trojan that often works by opening an Internet Relay Chat channel that waits for commands from the person in control of the botnet. The combined power of bot, computer robots can scan for and compromise other computers and perpetrate DOS attacks.  Virus is a pieces of software code that inserts itself into a host, including the operating systems; running its host program activates the virus. It spread from one computer to another (in some form of executable code) when its host is taken to the target computer; for instance because a users sent it over a network or removable medium. A virus might corrupt or delete data on your computer, use your e-mail program to spread itself to other computers or even erase every things on your hard disk. Next, we talk about the threat of web server and web page hijacking. It can control or redirect unsuspecting users to scam or phishing sites. Criminal organisations, crime networks, and terrorist groups have used Web server hijacking and exploited the global information, financial and transportation networks. In conclusion, the needs for a complete data protection solution that secures data is necessary. By leveraging a strong and efficient blend of full disk encryption,access control,removable media encryption and port management is a solutions to deliver comprehensive data security. Labels: task 3
