IMPORTANCE OF CYBER SECURITY
 The importance of cyber security comes down to the desire to keep 
information, data, and devices private and safe.

THREATS OF CYBER SECURITY
 The threats countered by cyber-security are three-fold:
1. Cybercrime includes single actors or groups targeting systems for 
financial gain or to cause disruption.
2. Cyber-attack often involves politically motivated information gathering.
3. Cyberterrorism is intended to undermine electronic systems to

DISTRIBUTED DENIAL-OF-SERVICE 
(DDOS)
 Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks are those in which multiple systems 
disrupt the traffic of a targeted system, such as a server, website or other 
network resource. By flooding the target with messages, connection requests or 
packets, the attackers can slow the system or crash it, preventing legitimate 
traffic from using it.

ADVANCED PERSISTENT THREATS 
(APTS)
 Advanced persistent threats (APTs) are prolonged targeted attacks in which an 
attacker infiltrates a network and remains undetected for long periods of time 
with the aim to steal data.
