The main aim of cyber-terrorist activities is to cause network damage and disruptions.This process involves a combination of computer tampering, virus attacks, hacking, and many many more. After the attack, the network gets collapsed and resulting in the network system being offline.

Here above it is visible to us that the rate of cyber attacks and malware infections has grown exponentially high. As it was only 61.9% in the year 2014 but as the world is evolving and every daily work is dependent on the internet and computer devices, these cyber crimes have also increased.

# Topics in Cyber Security * ### *Data Theft and Data Loss* * ### *Ransomware* * ### *Internet Frauds* * ### *Denial of Service Attack* * ### *Cyberterrorism* * # Prevention

Secure systems should be designed to counter these terrorists and these systems should be launched so that no one can attack that, or if launched, they would cause no damage encouraging people to report malicious cyber activities, and for international cooperation in of problems.

* # Managemnet

To prevent penetration of the system at risk from the outside, we try to erect hammers and otherwise harden it. If the system is penetrated from the outside, the next line of defense is internal compartmentalization and containment.

* # Consequence Management

Government should take strict actions against these and should be very keen so that they don't slip under their noses.It is an Active form of defense.

Cyberterrorism is a very global issue and every individual person around the world should be very safe from this cyber-terrorist and the government should ensure their safety. It is very important that we take action against these gangs and mafias and remain highly vigilant and protect their privacy at any cost.
