CYBER CHASE

The internet is the largest public network in the world, is a huge computer network available to everyone who wants to get connected to it. The internet moves our ideas & information rather than moving through geographic space, it moves through the cyberspace – the space of electronic movement of information. The web provides an easy to use interface, for reaching to public, to connect to the internet and access the resources available in the cyberspace. Everyday over a billion users from every country in the world use the internet; thus it has become an everyday tool to use for all of us.

The competent end users need to be aware of how to it securely. Making a habit of keeping current with technology trends is a key to our success with Information Technology to gain a better understanding of how technology is used. As a society must be aware about the potential Information Technology to negatively impact our privacy, security and potential risk associated with using Information Technology.

INFORMATION SECURITY
The 21st century has brought before us the information age. Computers and internet have radically transformed lives and opened up new avenues of information, business, entertainment & communication. Most business became aware that they must adopt changing technology & making plans to keep track of information technology also implement in their competitive strategies. Information technology requires people truly capable of working with it, not afraid to learn it, manage it with integrating it with people.

The Information System has consists of People/end user – making them more productive as they are surely the most important part of it, Procedures – guidelines / rules to be followed by people for using the information system, Data – raw unprocessed facts, Connectivity – allowing computers to connect & to share information allowing users to greatly expand the capabilities and usefulness of their Information System. Communication Network differs in geographical size as LAN, WAN, INTRANET, EXTRANET, INTERNET.

Information Security solutions that act as the critical link to enable an organization’s leaders to make better business decisions, our key operations, subsystems and integrated information management systems. Information Security enables to store sensitive information or transmit it across insecure network like the internet so that it can not be read by anyone except the intended one.

PREVENTIVE SECURITY
Protect Your Confidential Information In The System
Prevention Is Better Than Cure - Importance of data security and how can organizations protect themselves from the threats, Internet fraud and threat to personal information. Good security is like the weather, when its good no one complains. If you think good security costs a lot, poor security costs even more than that; One has to respond properly on our own information security and need not to depend on others because good security does not depend on good luck.

PROACTIVE SECURITY
Detecting System Vulnerabilities
Detecting system vulnerabilities and managing the corrective measures prior to incident or loss is what proactive security is all about. With increasingly sophisticated attacks on the rise, the ability to quickly mitigate network vulnerabilities is imperative. Vulnerabilities if left undetected pose a serious security threat to enterprise systems and can leave vital corporate data exposed to attacks by malicious hackers. For organizations, it means extended system downtimes and huge loss of revenue and productivity. The goal of a vulnerability management system is to identify such security holes in your network infrastructure and remediate them before they are exploited.

INFORMATION MANAGEMENT
Information As An Asset
In the information age, computers and internet have radically transformed lives and opened up new avenues of information, business, entertainment & communication. Most business became aware that they must adopt changing technology & making plans to keep track of information technology also implement in their competitive strategies. Information technology requires people truly capable of working with it, not afraid to learn it, manage it with integrating it with people.

Information includes data, text, images, sound, voice, codes, computer programmes, software and databases; while Data means a representation of information, knowledge, facts, concepts or instructions which are being prepared or have been prepared in a formalized manner, and has been processed in a computer system or computer network, and may be in any form (including computer printouts magnetic or optical storage media, punched cards, punched tapes) or stored internally in the memory of the computer; So we have to treat information as an asset & this asset management can be achieved by Confidentiality-keeping the information secret, Integrity-preventing data alteration, Authentication- identification to both entity as well as information.

CYBERSPACE AID’
Cyberspace Is Safe To Use But Very Unsafe To Misuse
The internet is the largest public network in the world, is a huge computer network available to everyone who wants to get connected to it. The internet moves our ideas & information rather than moving through geographic space, it moves through the cyberspace – the space of electronic movement of information. The web provides an easy to use interface, for reaching to public, to connect to the internet and access the resources available in the cyberspace. Everyday over a billion users from every country in the world use the internet; thus it has become an everyday tool to use for all of us.

The internet has become a medium of communication that is now almost limitless in its applications. It actually embodies all forms of communication – one-to-one, one-to-many and finally many-to-many. The geographical interface opened up the internet for less-technical people by simply using internet browsers. Websites present their information in graphical form and users can navigate through internet using hyperlinks. The World Wide Web consists of information resources stored on hosts connected to the internet which can be searched and retrieved by other hosts using HTTP simply locating hosts through IP address. And allows viewers to view any document stored on specific web servers as long as access to these documents is not restricted.

The technologically networked world is continuously challenged by new security threats and attacks. With a tremendous growth in computer users & networks, the scale of cyber crimes has increased. Although it come up with innovative methods to protect computer systems with security tools & methodologies-techniques to safeguard computer systems, catch criminals and investigate cyber crimes.

NETWORK ASSOCIATE
A network is basically a pathway for transmission of information, made up so that users can exchange messages & share information with them. Computer network have evolved rapidly, from wired to the more convenient wireless networks – changed the way of communication user the world over today. Corresponding to these, network crimes with regard to electronic information are also in rise.
Some tangible benefits of networking are:
1. Wider access to information
2. Suited to the needs of distributed computing
3. Faster delivery

Today, with competition in industry at an all time high, TPM may be the only thing that stands between success and total failure for some companies. It has been proven to be a program that works. It can be adapted to work not only in industrial plants, but in construction, building maintenance, transportation, and in a variety of other situations.

Employees must be educated and convinced that TPM is not just another "program of the month" and that management is totally committed to the program and the extended time frame necessary for full implementation. If everyone involved in a TPM program does his or her part, an unusually high rate of return compared to resources invested may be expected.
