Abstract

Data security has become increasingly important in today's world of information technology. A modern lifestyle, made possible by advances in technology, is driving people to use their portable devices for shopping and financial transactions in cyberspace. Simultaneously, cybercrime has increased due to the heavy use of social media. Information security has become a major issue today. Cyber-attack incidents have increased significantly with the massive growth of Internet interconnection, often resulting in devastating and grievous consequences. Cyberspace is dominated by malware, which frequently exploits existing vulnerabilities or advances in technology to carry out malicious goals. Security experts have long considered it imperative to develop more innovative and effective mechanisms to defend against malware. Businesses and governments adopt varied measures against cybercrime. Despite ongoing initiatives, cybersecurity remains vital to many. This report outlines common vulnerabilities in software, hardware, and networks. It focuses on new technology-related cybersecurity issues and includes an analysis of ethical and developmental aspects, alongside a review of the latest technological advancements.
