Cyber Security: Basics in Fighting Computer Attacks and Crimes

Abstract

It is clear that computers and information systems are central in daily business operations in both public and private sectors. E-commerce and eGovernance have gained international attention as substitutes for the human riddled snail pace management systems. However, computers and ICTs do not only replace the human inefficiencies but also assume human attacks and sicknesses known as cyber attacks and computer crimes. They range from hacker’s activities to malwares. This paper explored the occurrences and efforts in mitigating them through thorough literature review and desk research.
