  Intelligence Quotient (IQ) IQ, which stands for  intelligence quotient , is a measure of someone’s reasoning ability.  The abbreviation "IQ" was coined by the  psychologist   William Stern  for the German term  Intelligenzquotient.   IQ is actually a number that is supposed to indicate how well someone can use information and logic to solve problems. We usually consider IQ as an estimate of a person’s intelligence. The low IQ score is 70 and below, whereas IQ score above than 140 is considered a genius IQ score. The IQ of a person is measured by an IQ test. IQ tests measure both crystallized intelligence and fluid intelligence. Crystallized intelligence is the knowledge and skills we acquire throughout life, while fluid intelligence is a person’s ability to reason, solve problems, and understand abstract information. The former is directly associated with learning and experience and increases as we grow older. However, the latter, i.e., fluid intelligence, is not dependent

  What is Cybersecurity? Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting systems, networks, and programs from digital attacks. These  cyberattacks are usually aimed at accessing, changing, or destroying sensitive information; extorting money from users; or interrupting normal business processes. Implementing effective cybersecurity measures is particularly challenging today because there are more devices than people, and attackers are becoming more innovative. Scope of Cybersecurity in India The demand for cybersecurity is at an all-time high as the global business environment shifts to cloud data storage and online management. With increased internet exposure, commercial organizational data and the personal data of users are at a threat of being misused.                 According to the Data Security Council of India (DSCI) , which is one of the top associations for cybersecurity, the cyber security business employed around 2 lakh workers in 2020, up from 1.10 lakh in 2019, and there ar

  A cyber attack is any attempt to gain unauthorized access to a computer, computing system or computer network with the intent to cause damage. Cyber attacks aim to disable, disrupt, destroy or control computer systems or to alter, block, delete, manipulate or steal the data held within these systems.  Any individual or group can launch a cyber attack from anywhere by using one or more various attack strategies. How do Cyberattacks Happen? Cyberattacks occur when an individual, group, or organized gang attempts to maliciously breach the security system of another person or organization. While this might prompt you to envision hackers breaking into an online banking system to steal billions, the most common example of a cyber attack is a  data b reach . Data breaches take place when hackers bypass a company or organization’s security and steal sensitive information. They use this information for extortion, to commit other frauds, or to sell it on the Dark Web.                    In 2

  The word 'Ethical' means Legal.  Ethical hacking is an authorized practice of detecting vulnerabilities in an application, system, or organization’s infrastructure and bypassing system security to identify potential data breaches  and threats in a network. Ethical Hackers  aim to investigate the system or network for weak points that malicious hackers can exploit or destroy. They collect and analyze the information to figure out ways to strengthen the security of the system/network/applications. By doing so,  they can improve the security footprint so that it can better withstand attacks or divert them. Types of Ethical Hacking Web Application hacking : Web hacking is the process of exploiting software over HTTP by exploiting the software’s visual chrome browser, meddling with the URL, or colluding with HTTP aspects not stored in the URL. System Hacking : Hacktivists gain access to personal computers over a network through system hacking. Password busting, privilege escalat

     You must be hearing about cybercrimes these days like online fraud, leaking personal details online and blackmailing, etc. These crimes are increasing rapidly.  According to Indian Computer Emergency Response (CERT-In), the first two months of 2022 has reported more cybercrimes than the entire 2018. India reported 2,08,456 incidents in 2018 and 2,12,485 incidents in the first two months of 2022. Majorly, the cybercrime is increasing through Internet.  Thus, it is important to know what is cybersecurity.                    Cyber security is the practice of defending computers, servers, mobile devices, electronic systems, networks, and data from malicious attacks. Before moving further, lets know what are the types of cyber threats: 1.    Cybercrime:  Cybercrime is any criminal activity that involves a computer, networked device or a network. While most cybercrimes are carried out in order to generate profit for the cybercriminals, some cybercrimes are carried out against computers
