The Market Leader of the Cyber Security Industry
Earlier internet was
thought of as a nerdy past time for people who preferred to lead a virtual life
than a real one. These people were
thought of as keyboard warriors who were better equipped to deal with computers
than with people. Perceptions have changed now. From social media to online
banking to digital hospital records, every piece of our lives is online. It has
made life so much easier.
Why
we need cyber security
However, there is a
drawback with all our sensitive information being available on the internet. Nefarious
characters like hackers can gain access to this information and misuse it for
their own purposes.
This brings the need for
cyber security. Today everyone needs cyber security as almost everyone has
personal information available online. Corporate, companies and government
departments require foolproof cyber protection to protect their ultra sensitive
data from cyber attackers. Excaliburancy
is a techno-legal organization providing Privacy by Design consultant in India by
offering legal and strategic advisory in the domain of data protection, privacy
and intellectual property.
The
Age of Cyber Criminals
Technology in itself has
no evil traits. However, wicked minds and unsocial elements can certainly put it
to evil use for their selfish needs. Every time we use some app or website, we
need to provide it with personal information about our hobbies, preferences,
finances, buying habits, and similar information. Ideally, nothing should go
wrong and that information would stay unharmed from the time it leaves our
laptops and smart phones till the time it reaches its destination. The
destinations can be any individual, company or bank that you conducting your transaction
with.
However, the world is not
perfect as we know it. There is an army of cyber criminals out there who are constantly
on the lookout for that one weak password or unsafe line of communication to
extract all the important information out. These new age cyber criminals can
hack into your computer to use the private information they gain to ruin your
life.
Attacking
Individuals through the Internet
Bill Gates and his vision
for the home computer changed the world. Suddenly every household had its own
computer and was part of the World Wide Web.
Earlier, when times were
simpler, common people knew very little about computers. In today’s cunning
times, you come cross websites which provide links and it will take just one
click on the link, and a file will be downloaded on their computer containing a
deadly computer virus.
