Different Security Threats and its Prevention in Computer Network
Main Article Content
Abstract
Nowadays the computer network technology is
growing rapidly. The computer network is used for transferring
large volume of data and information these days including
sensitive information like credit card details, passwords, online
banking, account numbers and other confidential data so there
are chances of leakage of that information while transferring
over the network especially on the internet. Hackers are the
programmers who are expert in breaching security are
constantly looking for loopholes in network security and
whenever they find any loophole they try to access or change
the sensitive information that is being transferred over the
network. It is very important to secure computer network by
using firewalls, anti-viruses and other tools while transferring
data through the computer network. The purpose of this paper
is to understand about the various attacks that the intruder can
do and other harmful programs like viruses, worms, Trojan
horses etc that can breach the security of the network and affect
the data and performance of our system and also understand
about the various solutions to these attacks and harmful
programs. In this paper we will discuss about the various
threats like active and passive attacks, other malicious software
that can affect the security of the computer network and their
possible solutions.
