    Cybersecurity involves securing all information technology, including computers, networks, routers, and connected devices, from intrusion, unauthorized access, and damage. As technology has advanced and more aspects of life have moved online, cyber threats have also increased over the last 50 years. The National Security Agency is responsible for both protecting US information systems and collecting foreign intelligence, but these roles can conflict as exploiting vulnerabilities for offensive purposes makes it harder to correct them for defensive purposes. Many vulnerabilities are documented in databases and can be researched or exploited using automated tools, so understanding potential attack types is important for cybersecurity.

    A Brief About Cyber Tech

     is a list of cybersecurity information technology. Cybersecurity


    is security as it is applied to information technology. This includes all technology that
    stores, manipulates, or moves data, such as computers, data networks, and all
    devices connected to or included in networks, such as routers and switches. All
    information technology devices and facilities need to be secured against intrusion,
    unauthorized use, and vandalism. Additionally, the users of information technology
    should be protected from theft of assets, extortion, identity theft, loss of privacy
    and confidentiality of personal information, malicious mischief, damage to
    equipment, business process compromise, and the general activity of cybercriminals.
    The public should be protected against acts of cyberterrorism, such as the
    compromise or loss of the electric power grid.
    Locked info
    since the Internet's arrival and with the digital transformation initiated in recent
    years, the notion of cybersecurity has become a familiar subject in both our
    professional and personal lives. Cybersecurity and cyber threats have been
    consistently present for the last 50 years of technological change. In the
    1970s and 1980s, computer security was mainly limited to academia until the
    conception of the Internet, where, with increased connectivity, computer
    viruses and network intrusions began to take off. After the spread of viruses in
    the 1990s, the 2000s marked the institutionalization [clarification needed] of cyber
    threats and cybersecurity.
    The April 1967 session organized by Willis Ware at the Spring Joint Computer
    Conference, and the later publication of the Ware Report, we
    Failed offensive strategy

    The National Security Agency (NSA) is responsible for the protection of


    U.S. information systems and also for collecting foreign
    intelligence.[12] These two duties are in conflict with each other. Protecting
    information systems includes evaluating software, identifying security
    flaws, and taking steps to correct the flaws, which is a defensive action.
    Collecting intelligence includes exploiting security flaws to extract
    information, which is an offensive action. Correcting security flaws makes
    the flaws unavailable for NSA exploitation.
    The agency analyzes commonly used software in order to find security flaws,
    which it reserves for offensive purposes against competitors of the United
    States. The agency seldom takes defensive action by reporting the flaws to
    software producers so that they can eliminate them.[13]
    The offensive strategy worked for a while, but eventually other nations,
    including Russia, Iran, North Korea, and China, acquired their own offensive
    capability and have tended to use it against the United States. NSA contractors
    created and sold "click-and-shoot" attack tools to U.S. agencies and close allies,
    but eventually the tools made their way to foreign adversaries. In 2016, NSAs
    own hacking tools were hacked, and they have been used by Russia and North
    Korea. NSA's employees and contractors have been recruited at high salaries
    by adversaries, anxious to compete in cyberwarfare.[13]
    Vulnerabilities and attacks
    A vulnerability is a weakness in design, implementation, operation, or internal control. Most
    of the vulnerabilities that have been discovered are documented in the Common Vulnerabilities
    and Exposures (CVE) database.[citation needed] An exploitable vulnerability is one for which at least
    one working attack or exploit exists.[14] Vulnerabilities can be researched, reverse-engineered,
    hunted, or exploited using automated tools or customized scripts.[15][16] To secure a computer
    system, it is important to understand the attacks that can be made against it, and
    these threats can typically be classified into one of these categories below:
