CyberSecurity is the prevention of,
protection from, and the restoration from Cyber
Attacks.

According to ITU, it is the collection of tools,


policies, security concepts, security safeguards,
guidelines, risk management approaches, actions,
training, best practices, assurance, and
technologies that can be used to protect the cyber
environment and organization and user’s assets. 
Risk and Threat

Risk (computer) – any event or action that could


cause a loss or damage to computer hardware,
software, data, information, or processing
capability.

Threat – possible danger that might exploit


a vulnerability to breach security and thus,
cause possible harm.

What is your role in

CYBERSECURI
TY?
Department of Information and Communications Technology
Learning how to protect yourself from cyber
attacks will create a safer online
environment.

Knowing the different types of Cyber threats


and what actions to take is the first step.
Common Cyber Threats

• Phishing – fraudulent practice of sending emails to


induce individuals to reveal personal / financial info

 Do not open messages or attachments from


unknown sources. Use spam filters to prevent
unwanted and dangerous emails.
Common Cyber Threats
• Ransomware – a type of malicious software that
threatens to publish data or perpetually block access to it
unless a ransom is paid.

• Wiperware – a class of malware whose intention is to


wipe the hard drive of the computer it infects.

 Don’t click dubious links


 Always update your computer operating systems and softwares
 Don’t pay ransom
Serious Cyber Threats
• Advanced Persistent Threat or APT (e.g. APT32)
• Targeted Attack
• DoS or DDoS Attack
• Botnet
• Conference Crew
The Issues: CyberSecurity Myths

• Some people may think that having antivirus


software and firewalls installed in their systems
totally secure them from virus attacks
• Some people believe that serious breach comes
from the outside
• Some just don’t care about security because
they do not belong to a security team
Protecting Your Computer

• Install three most important sentinel applications such as


• anti-virus,
• anti-spyware and
• firewall software.
• Update your computer programs especially security
software and block spam emails
• Never open an attachment from unreliable sources
• Do not plug an unknown flashdrive
The ultimate protection of an
individual from cyber threats and
attacks is the individual himself.
Education and awareness on
cybersecurity are vital tools in
preventing cyber attacks and
cybercrimes.
