Secondary Research blog

 Hey friends 😉✌, we have come to the part of the blog where I show you my analysis of another blog to give an insight on the topic in question. 

In a modern world which is very dependent on technology and use of the internet, technology has been adapted for both good and bad purposes. The book I will be analysing in this blog explains the nature of cyberattacks(aim), gives real life situations and how we can prevent them. The book in question is called "Cybersecurity and cyberwar: What Everyone Needs to Know by P.W. Singer and Allan Friedman(2014)". 

It is very important for anyone who wants a basic understanding of cyberattacks and I can proudly say that I learned the following things from the journal article: 

1. Aim of cyberattacks: The primary aim of such dubious 👺 operations is to steal or destroy delicate information either personal or financial for personal gain. 

2. Methods of cyberattacks: The main methods used are Ddos, phishing scams and malware attacks 💣.

3. Motive behind it: It could either be for financial gain, acts of enmity or political issues.

4. Impact of cyberattacks: They affect whatever they impact heavily like business websites, government websites, banking websites and so on. 



Types of cyberattacks

Now, we can move on to what I am aiming to accomplish from my research. The purpose of this next section is to show the intended outcomes I hope to achieve from this research. The research for this section is from the book "Cyberattacks on critical infrastructure: An economic perspective. Economics and Business review,  5(2), 24-47". They are as follows:

1. New technological advancements : Getting an understanding on how emerging technology systems can help solve the current problems of cyberattacks, by reducing scams by increasing tightened security. 

2. Economical effects: Comprehending the fatal impact cybercrimes could have on multimillion dollar/pound companies which could lead to significant economic loss.

3. Implication of policies: Having some knowledge on the effects policies would have on the economy if put in place to guide certain laws.

 For the final time, I must give you the readers a final welcome 😓. I really did not want this to end but it had to be so. We are in the last bit of my blog where I will be rounding off it all.  The aim of this post is to evaluate how I used the Gantt chart in my project process. The Image above is a picture of a Gantt chart which is a project managing tool primarily used for organising tasks and maintaining fixed time for given work. It's showing the the time period between the 4th of April to the 23rd of may which I set as the total time period it would take to complete my project. It was made mainly to help me manage time and finish tasks under given deadlines. It has helped me finish my project efficiently and effectively cause of how it helped me mange time well. Reflecting on this process, I acknowledge the importance of well structured planning in achieving set goals.  Figure 1: Introduction to cyberattack This slide just gives an introduction to the vast topic of...

 Hello again readers 😄, we are on to the part of the blog where you'll see the feedback of people on the current crisis of cyberattacks. This data is essential cause it allows me to collect data from individuals directly that have experienced cyberthreats. By conducting such surveys, I can a unique insight into the most prevalent attack techniques 💀 and ensures I have specific and current cyberattack trends from the people who have experienced it.  Below is the link to the google form I made for several questions relating to the topic in question "Cyberattack".  Google form Link So, you may ask. How did I ask my questions and to who did I ask them to ? 😕. I asked them based on the idea of the forms through which cyberattacks occur and I approached a random bunch of 10 students. As you can see below, these are 2 examples of some basic questions that were asked.  The above question brings room for controversial beliefs 😠, as people have varying insights based on th...
