A Google search on ‘Malware’ produces 8,01,00,000 results in less than a second (0.54 seconds). A research article published on International Journal of Scientific Research and Engineering Development highlights United States council of Economic Advisers’ estimation about the impact of malware on the U.S economy as between $57 billion and $109 billon in 2016. This shows the enormous impact of malware and it is high time to be aware, alert and take action.
Quite often data security as well as network security is compromised due to malicious attacks. Similar to data security for users and organizations, network security in a computer network is very essential to effectively handle intrusions and information theft.
What is Malware?
So, what is Malware? Malware is a contraction of the terms malicious software. It is a software program specifically designed to attack as well as damage, disable, or interrupt computers and/or networks.

Types of Malware and how it Works
Malware comes in different avatars, namely, Virus, Trojans, Worms, Ransomeware, Spyware, Adware and Botnets. Malware attaches itself to the elements of a web page, pop-up ads, toolbars, and free applications that you download, games, and so on.
If an innocuous user clicks on any of these components, malware will sneak into their computer system or network. Once malware moves into a computer it is capable of stealing anything from music files to more critical information such as login credentials, bank account details, and personal data. The breach on data privacy and data security is unimaginable.

Do you know the connection between Stuxnet, Duqu, Flame and Red October? Those who know already are aware of the seriousness of security threats. The types of attacks in network security and data security are manifold. But, (Advanced Persistent Threats, APT) are the most dangerous. These four are examples of highly complex malware APTs, which have haunted the security community considerably.
Today, the number as well as the complexness of cyber-attacks is steadily increasing and present security mechanisms are struggling to detect and handle these complex threats. The intruders in network security and data security are strong in both technically and financially. In this background, it is highly important to understand current security threats, especially APTs to secure organizations’ data assets.
Why APTs are Dangerous
An advanced persistent threat (APT) is a complicated, long-standing as well as multi-staged attack, uniquely developed and spread by well-built cyber crime syndicates. APTs are usually complex and many-faceted. Their impacts can be considerably destructive and irreversible, unless you act fast.
APTs target highly sensitive and critical data troves such as intellectual property, classified data, communication between high value profiles, taking control of websites, and so on.
Symptoms of APT Attacks
If you are looking to ensure data confidentiality and data security of your organization, it is important to be aware of the telltale signs of cyber attacks. Here are some common signs that could tell you that your organization is facing an APT attack:
Protection Mechanisms against APT Attacks
Usually, most of the organizations’ security personnel implement one or a combination of these below techniques to handle APTs. Many security services in network security are also recommending these measures to deal with network security issues.

DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) is a form of attack that keeps overwhelming a system until the server crashes, and this form of attack has risen by over 350% as compared to the corresponding month of 2019 against educational resources.
With more and more people being forced to go online for classes and for work, networks are primarily being targeted these days, and educational resources account for being a major victim of such network attacks.
While DDoS attacks are a major threat, they aren’t the only form of attacks that educational resources face. Between January and June 2020 alone, 1,68,550 different users reported various forms of attacks disguised in the form of online learning and video conferencing platforms such as Zoom, Moodle and so on. Educators also encountered phishing attacks and fake emails that looked very authentic and could fool anyone into easily giving up their data.
“Remote learning became a necessity for billions of students this past spring, and many educational institutions were forced to make the transition with little or no preparation. The ensuing increase in the popularity of online educational resources coupled with this lack of preparedness made the educational sector an ideal target for cyber attacks. Moving forward this fall, as many schools and universities plan to conduct classes online—at least part of the time — it’s critical these organizations take steps to secure their digital learning environments,” says Alexander Gutnikov, security expert at Kaspersky.
In 2015, Dell reported that companies that invested in big data, cloud mobility, and security enjoy up to 53% faster revenue growth than their competitors. If that was the case back then, the trend has only continued over time, and has magnified considerably ever since work and study from home became the new normal in 2020.
With more and more people attending classes online and working from home, most of the population is online now in one form or the other. Cloud computing and internet security have assumed a greater role not just because the scale of use has increased, but also because the requirements have changed significantly, and cloud computing greatly caters to all these requirements.
With most organizations shifting to cloud based computing systems, it is a tough choice to pick out the right one for your organization. A key factor to look out for is how much weight age is given to security features. This is because the cloud being a remote network is prone to attacks from external sources if not protected properly.
When adopting a cloud computing system, make sure it has a proper internet security to keep away various forms of attacks and malwares. Some of the common forms of attacks are DDoS, Phishing, Ransomware attacks, and fake mails. A good internet security system will easily detect anything suspicious, and will help you stay clear of them. Look out for ones that provide both offline and online security, and security against all kinds of attacks.
