Abstract
As the technology is evolving, new smart devices are being introduced. this opens up an opportunity for attackers to launch their devices as along with technology, attacking techniques are also evolving. The concept of cybersecurity is not new as it dates back to 1960s. Although the type of attacks have changed and even defense mechanism towards said threats are also evolving, still there remains a gap between attacker’s methods and the technologies available to tackle them. Interconnectedness of multiple devices via IOT(Internet of things) has turned up to be a major opportunity for attackers to launch new attacks namely man-in-middle attack, DOS(denial of service) etc. Social engineering still remains as a major threat in terms of data theft and fraud. In this paper, various attack techniques are studied along with the methods used to prevent and eradicate threats posed by attackers. It also focuses on the fact that human error is the cause of majority of cyber incidents. The analysis on human error focuses on finding ways to minimize such errors. A significant portion of review focuses on how outdated cybersecurity techniques are still being used in multiple institutions and showcases the advantage new methods have in tackling threats and attacks efficiently. This study also showcases latest trends in field of cybersecurity and emerging threats. It also discusses the working of various tools used in the field of cybersecurity and their effectiveness for example- firewalls, anti-fraud systems.
