Cybercrime and the Indian state.

Firstly lets understand what exactly do we mean by the term Cyber-crime.
Anything that leads to the following events can be turned into this category.


Hacking

Hacking in simple terms means an illegal intrusion into a computer system and/or network. There is an equivalent term to hacking i.e. cracking, but from Indian Laws perspective there is no difference between the term hacking and cracking. Every act committed towards breaking into a computer and/or network is hacking. Hackers write or use ready-made computer programs to attack the target computer. They possess the desire to destruct and they get the kick out of such destruction. Some hackers hack for personal monetary gains, such as to stealing the credit card information, transferring money from various bank accounts to their own account followed by withdrawal of money. They extort money from some corporate giant threatening him to publish the stolen information which is critical in nature.


Child pornography

The Internet is being highly used by its abusers to reach and abuse children sexually, worldwide. The internet is very fast becoming a household commodity in India . It’s explosion has made the children a viable victim to the cyber crime. As more homes have access to internet, more children would be using the internet and more are the chances of falling victim to the aggression of pedophiles.



Cyber stalking
Cyber Stalking can be defined as the repeated acts harassment or threatening behavior of the cyber criminal towards the victim by using internet services. Stalking in General terms can be referred to as the repeated acts of harassment targeting the victim such as following the victim, making harassing phone calls, killing the victims pet, vandalizing victims property, leaving written messages or objects. Stalking may be followed by serious violent acts such as physical harm to the victim and the same has to be treated and viewed seriously. It all depends on the course of conduct of the stalker.



Denial of Service Attack

To be very frank , here in India people do cybercrime almost every day and i don't think there's any significant work done in this sector to improve the security measures.

Here in India , instead of securing the system govt. is busy pissing the public with their orthodox policies like
1. blocking torrent.
2. blocking secure sites.

India has suffered huge losses in the cyber-security zone. Last year's report says there was a whooping $8 billion loss due to cybercrimes in 2011. The report estimates a global loss of $110 billion due to cybercrime over the past twelve months.

 There has been attacks from China,Israel,Middle-east countries on a regular basis and mostly the attacks are in the E-commerce section.Banks today have to be very much precise about their security terms. Even the big players in banking sector aren't left un-penetrated. Hackers have foot-printed themselves almost everywhere in the cyber-world.

The frequent attacks has led the indian Govt. to make a decision which says it would appoint almost 5 lakhs security-specialist but i seriously don't think we have this much amount of people in this sector.

But anyhow the word for today, tomorrow and a better future is Security : if you aren't secure you are not into market..!!

1. Broadband speed
Broadband speed is one of the main factors to consider while choosing a business broadband provider. Today, there are options to select speed according to the requirement of users. Basically, speed of a business broadband provider is divided into two as upload speed and download speed. Upload speed is the speed taken to post information from computer to web and the download speed is the speed taken to get data from web to computer. If you are planning to choose an online business, make sure that you choose the best business communication with high speed internet. To view applications like HD movies and videos, you need to take high speed internet connections.

2. Whole household use
In certain cases, people may run multiple products at single time. If the internet speed is not good enough, it may lead way to delay in work. This condition can be well controlled by using high speed internet connection. A high speed business broadband can assist user in running several devices simultaneously. If there is any doubt about the performance level of application, never hesitate to view the broadband guide available online. Else, you can directly contact the customer support team of business broadband provider.

3. Reasonable price
Price rate of broadband business provider varies according to the plan chosen by the customer. For satisfactory result, it is recommended to choose plan which best suits for your needs. Today, there are many sites which allow user to compare the value of broadband plans. You can definitely make use of these sites to compare different broadband plans. Generally, price of business broadband is low for slow internet connection and high for fast internet connection.

4. Additional fee
Many people won't consider about additional fee while choosing a business broadband plan. At times, it may give rise to money loss. As per studies, it is found that most of the broadband service providers put an additional fee for modem. In order to minimize this risk, people are advised to understand contract before signing up for a business broadband. If you are in search of a fast business broadband provider, never hesitate to choose the one which provide you relevant speed according to the budget.

5. Data limits
According to the plan chosen by customer, there may be data limits for using internet. If you choose a low budget plan, business broadband provider may apply certain data limits like 250 gigabytes. For example, if you wish to download HD movies from internet, you may need 3 to 5 GB capacity. In such cases, data limits may affect people who choose low budget business broadband plans. Hence it is advised to have proper knowledge about your internet speed needs before choosing any one of the broadband business plans.

5 Tips for Enhancing Cloud Computing Safety

There is definitely no reason why public cloud storage system wont be as secure and robust as on-premise system. Actually, majority of public cloud storage systems are much more secure and impregnable than traditional data centers. For example, many public cloud storage systems provide full encryption services for both in-flight and at rest data. So what is the reason that so many companies are still not sure about the efficacy of cloud as a secure storage system? Well, maybe they are still not sure about the safety of their data or applications on public cloud storage system. 
 

We are listing few steps that will help you in understanding and ensuring complete cloud computing security. 

1. Understand your needs 

Though many companies understand the security needs for implementing a safe and secure public cloud storage solution, but they have misinformed notions about legal or compliance issues regarding the government and corporate data, as some of them assume that it is against the law to store some type of data on a public cloud storage system. 

Few items that should be reviewed in detail include any rules or regulations that may require compliance. Aside from that, it is also important to evaluate the internal policies of the company regarding the data protection, including evaluation of risks. All these processes and policies should be duly debated, and approved by the management so that everything is clear and well understood. 
 2. Create a plan

In most of the cases, security is added only during the final stages of deployment. This is not a right solution, and any approach to security for cloud requires a solid master security plan that should utilize the requirements listed in step 1. However, it should be kept in mind that security to cloud computing is systematic and should be part of every step in the plan. 

It is important to evaluate actual security solutions including technology, such as cloud-based security, Ping Identity for a pure, including traditional enterprise security solutions. 
 3. Consider identity-based security 

The best way to ensure cloud computing security is to evaluate all assets, including servers, data, humans and processes, as identities that can be easily managed in terms of access to the actual resources. This approach is also termed as identity-based security and considers that all resources in a system have identity, which should be validated by a virtual machine and central security system. 

4. Choose appropriate security technology 

Depending upon your requirements, you should choose few promising technologies that might work for you. However, it is necessary to test them thoroughly before implementation. Sometimes IT managers take cloud services providers by words, which is not a right approach. 

Before the actual deployment of security technology, it is important that you address all issues. Some of them are: 

•Cost of deployment
•Performance of security system
•Administrative procedures
•Interface compatibility with all the connected systems
•Ability to address all security concerns, including regulations

5. Deploy, test, and monitor 

Once you have selected the right technology, you should deploy it. It is important that you integrate the security into the life cycle of cloud based storage system. Many companies offer white hatpenetration testing, and with just few weeks of that service, you will know how your security system works, and whether you need some additional configuration. 

Lastly, it is very important to keep an eye on how your security system is performing during runtime. This would mean testing the systems efficacy by making few hacking attempts. 

Well, these are all easy steps and would not take much of you time. Now it is going to be tough for the detractors of public cloud storage systems to defend their position. With these steps, you can easily make your cloud based storage system more secure than anything that you currently have in your data center.

Your Digital Safety - The Workings of Digital Forensics



What is Digital Forensics?

Digital forensics is an investigative art that allows skilled technicians to get crucial information about a crime from a computer. When a computer has been used for criminal behavior -- or when it has been attacked in a criminal manner -- traces of data are left behind that can help lead investigators to the source of the problem. Of course, criminals do their best to cover their tracks even in the digital world; identifying a perpetrator means uncovering some personally identifiable information on a target computer. This can require a forensic specialist to decode complex files and restore lost data.


How Do Digital Forensics Professionals Work?

Digital forensics is built upon the investigator's keen ability to seek out patterns within the data on a computerized device. This often requires them to interact with both the hardware and the software side of any given machine. Generally speaking, criminals make an effort to destroy incriminating data - but simplistic methods are rarely enough to confound a digital forensics professional. Scouring the contents of a hard drive using sophisticated software tools may yield valuable information. Physically examining the interior "plates" of a hard drive can allow damaged data to be restored. For more information on how digital forensics works, visit Dell here.

Who Employs Digital Forensics Professionals?

Digital forensics professionals are employed by law enforcement agencies all around the world. However, joining an investigative agency is not the only way to practice in digital forensics. Private companies also employ data forensics professionals to protect their data from outside intrusion. Rather than handle criminal cases, these technical experts will monitor an organization's network to maintain awareness of data theft attempts as they happen. They work to root out the "back doors" that hackers create, stopping them from building larger intrusions upon smaller ones.

How does it relate to Your Windows 7 Upgrade?

If you are thinking about upgrading Windows 7 to the new Windows 8, digital forensics might be valuable to you. When preparing a computer for a new operating system, it is a good idea to ensure that everything possible has been done to make the software run correctly. Although you may not need formal digital forensics for this task, you can improve your computing environment by thinking like an investigator. Look for ways to eliminate unneeded programs and files, for example. Try to discover more efficient ways to organize the data you need and hunt down issues that drain performance.

What is the Outlook for Digital Forensics as a Field?

Digital forensics is an exciting new field with a lot of growth potential. Those with a strong background in digital forensics can become general digital security experts who command six figure salaries. Excellent digital forensic technicians will consistently be in demand among agencies like the FBI and Homeland Security. Fortune 500 companies also hire digital forensics experts. That said, it is important to note that the number of digital forensics job openings is not huge; skill and education are important factors in determining who is best suited for a limited number of attractive job offers.

What's Next?

Millions of Americans routinely carry a cellular phone and many of these cell phone owners use smartphone technology. Because of the vast differences between wireless and wired devices, wireless equipment is much more likely to be targeted in criminal activity. Digital forensics will increasingly focus on and discover the ways in which law enforcement figures can determine the source of unlawful wireless device use. As computer technology continues to become more personalized and sophisticated at a rapid clip, the discipline of digital forensics will continue to evolve.
