A cyber security related gaffe in any of these rapidly emerging domains may lead to lost productivity and grave concerns to the enterprise. The chapter highlights the various concerns associated to cyber security, viz., how an attack may be operated and offered measures to secure the network and information technology resources within and outside the enterprise. In most of the developing economies no synchronized activities in this regard are taking place which opens the opportunity to cyber criminals intrude into the system and compromise the resources.

Detection Protocol of Possible Crime Scenes Using Internet of Things (IoT)

Forensics is a science that deals with using scientific principles in order to aid an investigation of a civil or criminal crime. It is a system of procedures that allow an investigator to use as much resources as possible in order to come up with a conclusion for an investigation. Since forensics is a very general term that encompasses an investigation process using scientific knowledge, one can separate a system of investigation based on how it is conducted. This chapter introduces of internet of things (IoT) forensics, IoT application in forensics field. Art-of-states for IoT forensics are provided. The issues for IoT forensics are identified. Also, we have introduced the proposed data classification in Iot forensics protocol. At the end of this chapter, we point out a brief summary and conclusion.

School institutes are facing new cyber security challenges in the Information Age. A number of school institutes were grappling with the loss of confidential information and protecting students on the Internet. How should school authorities react in case of data breach? What should they do to prevent data breaches at schools? What are upcoming trends in cybersecurity? The purpose of this chapter is to explore data breaches at K-12 schools as well as to examine the ways to improve cybersecurity. In this chapter, the researchers attempt to provide suggestions, solutions, and recommendations on cybersecurity after examining the problems of data breaches.

An Exploration Regarding Issues in Insider Threat

Insider threat occurs when a person with legitimate access misuses his privileges and compromises the operations and security of a company. When an outsider tries to gain access to company data, it can often be managed or detected by having standard controls in place. However, when an insider who has rightful access to the data is involved, it can often go undetected. There has been a steady rise in the number of cases of insiders' threat related incidents in recent years. An insider could do this either for his own benefit or might be acting as an espionage to profit another individual or organization. Insider threat is prevalent in various forms across various disciplines and is a serious cause of concern for the operation of an organization and maintenance of trust of the customers. In this chapter, we will look at various forms of insider threats, some well-known insider threat cases, factors causing this kind of behavior, some of the key indicators and what organizations can do to deter the theft of intellectual property.
