Cyber security is a broad issue. The millions of devices linked to the Internet have variable levels of safety. There are many known and unknown vulnerabilities in the hardware and software on which these devices run. Technology too is changing at a very high rate. Attackers with poor intent need to be successful only once defenders of cyber security have to be successful all of the time.

Abstract


This paper discusses the role of cyber security in our day-to-day life and explains the DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) Attack. The legal provisions available to tackle the DDoS attack are also elaborated.

Cyber security is a broad issue. The millions of devices linked to the Internet have variable levels of safety. There are many known and unknown vulnerabilities in the hardware and software on which these devices run. Technology too is changing at a very high rate. Attackers with poor intent need to be successful only once defenders of cyber security have to be successful all of the time.

With the increase in cyber attacks, there is a growing need to increase skills in the concepts and technology of cyber-security.
