The deliberate use of tactics to attack computers, networks, mobile devices, etc. via another computer are classified as cyber attacks. Cyber attackers use malicious codes to compromise the data and are carried out for various reasons including, data theft and extortion by using malware or malicious software, phishing to gain passwords or even DDoS which is a distributed denial of service by flooding a system with data which cripples the network or devices thereby stopping access. However, there is a whole new sector that focuses on cyber security which helps to prevent and protect organizations with hardware and software and can be further simplified by having the option of outsourcing the cyber security needs through a Managed Security Services Provider.
