Cloud security is the protection of data stored online via cloud computing platforms from theft, leakage, and deletion. Methods of providing cloud security include firewalls, penetration testing, obfuscation, tokenization, virtual private networks (VPN), and avoiding public internet connections. Cloud security is a form of cyber security.

1. Cloud security refers broadly to measures undertaken to protect digital assets and data stored online via cloud services providers.
2. Cloud computing is the delivery of different services through the Internet, including data storage, servers, databases, networking, and software.
3. Measures to protect this data include two-factor authorization (2FA), the use of VPNs, security tokens, data encryption, and firewall services, among others.

       Cybercrime, or computer-oriented crime, is a crime that involves a computer and a network. The computer may have been used in the commission of a crime, or it may be the target. Cybercrime may threaten a person or a nation's security and financial health.There are many privacy concerns surrounding cybercrime when confidential information is intercepted or disclosed, lawfully or otherwise.

• Phishing scams. Phishing is a practice of a cybercriminal or hacker attempting to obtain sensitive or personal information from a computer user. ...
• Identity Theft scams.
• Online Harassment.
• Cyber stalking.
• Invasion of privacy.

Malware bytes is primarily a scanner that scans for and removes malicious software, including rogue security software, adware, and spyware. Malware bytes scans in batch mode, rather than scanning all files opened, reducing interference if on-demand anti-malware software is also running on the computer.Malware bytes are available in both a free and a premium paid version. The free version can be run manually by the user when desired, whereas the paid version can perform scheduled scans, automatically scan files when opened, block IP addresses of malicious web sites, and scan only those services, programs and device drivers that are currently in use.

                          Typically delivered over a network, that infects, explores, steals or conducts virtually any behavior an attacker wants. Though varied in type and capabilities, malware usually has one of the following objectives:

• Provide remote control for an attacker to use an infected machine.
• Send spam from the infected machine to unsuspecting targets.
• Investigate the infected user’s local network.
• Steal sensitive data.

Mobile and embedded devices have become an essential part of life and work. As such devices represent many and varied combinations of technologies, they have unique security and privacy issues that potentially impact users, developers, service providers. Security has been vital to building and maintaining consumer confidence in mobile services to date and it will be as critical to the success of IoT services. Ensuring end-to-end security for connected IoT devices is key to the success for this market – without security; the Internet of Things will cease to exist.

                        There is no crystal ball to help us see what lies ahead, but if the present is any indication the outlook will be good for those wishing to future-proof their careers within the cyber security field. Cyber security roles are currently some of the most desirable and highest paying. With the emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Ethical Hacking, this trend is likely to continue.

                             Security has become a huge concern in these growth areas, and the talent to address security problems is increasingly in demand. According to Cyber Defence Magazine, about 1.8 million cyber security professionals will be needed to fill the demand by 2022. Looking even further down the road, here are some things you can expect if you are considering making the move to a cyber-career or finding your next big opportunity in cyber.

 Hackers & Threats sessions include discussions around the growing underground economy, advanced threats, ransom ware, cyber-weapons, new classes of vulnerabilities, exploitation techniques, reverse engineering, and how to combat these problems. The second track, Hackers & Threats Advanced, is technically advanced and will include live demos and code dissection.

• Malware: Malware is an umbrella term for a broad range of software designed to intrude on, compromise or harm digital systems.
• Viruses: Though often used interchangeably with the term “malware”, viruses are actually a specific subtype of malware. Viruses require action by the user, such as clicking on an email attachment or running an infected program, in order to activate.
• Trojan Horses: A Trojan horse is a type of malware that’s disguised as legitimate software. According to anti-malware firm Kaspersky, Trojans are unlike viruses and worms, in that they don’t self-replicate.
• Phishing Phishing attacks typically take the form of an email or other communication made to look like it came from a trusted source, such as a user’s bank, university or employer.
