                                   EASSY ( CONCLUSION ) In the current world that is run by technology and network connections, it is crucial to know what is cyber security and to be able to use it effectively. Systems, important files, data, and other important virtual things are at risk if there is no security to protect it. Whether it is an IT firm not, every company has to be protected equally. Cyber security  is a process of protecting sensitive data, networks, and software applications from the cyber attacks. Cyber attacks can be considered as an exploitation of resources, unauthorized access to the systems, ransomware attacks to encrypt data and extract money. The days when it was enough to only have a strong password are  long gone, and our personal and work data is exposed to many dangers.   References https://cwatch.comodo.com/ https://www.tutorialspoint.com/ethical_hacking...

                                    ESSAY ( MAIN BODY ) PURPOSE OF HACKING Hacking has been a part of computing for almost five decades and it is a very broad discipline, which covers a wide range of topics. The first known  event of hacking had taken place in 1960 at MIT and at the same time, the term " Hacker " was originated. Hacking is the act of finding the possible entry points that exist in a computer system or a computer network and finally entering into them. Hacking is usually done to gain unauthorized access to a computer system or a computer network, either to harm the systems or to steal sensitive information available on the computer. Hacking is usually legal as long as it is being done to find weaknesses in a computer or network system for testing purpose. This sort of hacking is what we call Ethical Hacking. A computer expert who does the act of hacking is called a "Hacker". ...

                             ESSAY ( INTRODUCTION ) WHAT IS HACKING  Hacking is the activity of identifying weaknesses in a computer system or a network to exploit the security to gain access to personal data or business data. An example of computer hacking can be: using a password cracking algorithm to gain access to a computer system. Computers have become mandatory to run a successful businesses. It is not enough to have isolated computers systems; they need to be networked to facilitate communication with external businesses. This exposes them to the outside world and hacking. System hacking means using computers to commit fraudulent acts such as fraud, privacy invasion, stealing corporate/personal data, etc. Cyber crimes cost many organizations millions of dollars every year. Businesses need to protect themselves against such attacks.

                                COMPUTER ETHICS      Computers are special technology and they raise some special ethical  issues . In this essay I will discuss what makes computers different from other technology and how this difference makes a difference in ethical considerations. In particular, I want to characterize computer ethics and show why this emerging field is both intellectually interesting and enormously important.      On my view, computer ethics is the analysis of the nature and social impact of computer technology and the corresponding formulation and justification of policies for the ethical use of such technology. I use the phrase "computer technology" because I take the subject matter of the field broadly to include computers and associated technology. For instance, I include concerns about software as well as hardware and concerns about networks connec...
