Why Cyber Security?

There was a huge data breach of 50 million Facebook accounts recently happened in March 2018 by a firm known as Cambridge Analytic a which harvested data for US Election Predictions. The data breach came to limelight and Facebook was levied a fine since they didn’t protect user details and due to their lack of transparency in the system. Imagine such a big firm like Facebook is susceptible to such data breach, so Cyber security is an important measure for every organization. Cyber security is used to avoid the data breaches, protect the integrity of networks and systems from attacks.

History of Hacking & Cybersecurity

The first worm program was written in 1986 by a software programmer. The worm program was used to shut down the systems which are connected to the internet. Also in 1994, two groups were arrested for illegal access of 100 computers and bank accounts. The history of Cyber security initially started as a research project, when a guy Bob Thomas designed a “Creeper” to move between the terminals of ARPANET and a guy Ray Tomlinson replicated a similar program named “Reaper” (similar to antivirus software) to delete Creeper.
