Bibliography My biography Let me introduce myself. My full name is Pavlov Semyon Sergeevich. I'm 18 years old. I was born on December 6, 2002 in the city of Kanash.

Introduction • The 21st century can be called the age of computer technology. Due to the rapid development of the digital industry, people have a lot of new opportunities, and with them new problems. More and more people are using Internet-connected objects: clocks, voice assistants, lighting fixtures, or security devices... There are many of them, and they are increasingly used in everyday life, both at home and in the office of the company. But what is the degree of their vulnerability and what risks do the owners of these objects bear? Problems and risks of computer attacks • Computer attacks are mainly designed to steal any valuable data or stop the operation of websites or other important processes. All this can develop into critical consequences. Most often, a person does not know that he was hacked, so the risk of detecting any attacks is unlikely • Most computers are attacked by viruses. If you carelessly use the Internet, you can easily pick up a couple of viruses that can harm your computer. Problems of large companies The main targets of cyber attacks are large companies.However, not only medium and large corporations and individuals suffer from cyber attacks. Small businesses are also susceptible to this type of crime. Due to the fact that it can not afford reliable protection from hackers, this segment, like individuals, becomes easy prey even for not very sophisticated cybercriminals. Of course, in such a situation, the key issue becomes the search for solutions to prevent theft at the early stages of its preparation. Unfortunately, it can be noted that the situation is disappointing: even the most modern corporate security systems are not devoid of vulnerabilities, and the vast majority of companies do not have a plan to respond to a successful cyber attack. Protection against computer attacks • Protecting a network from computer attacks is a constant and nontrivial task; but a number of simple defenses will be able to stop most attempts to enter the network. For example, a well configured firewall and antivirus software installed on all workstations that will be able to make it impossible for the majority of computer attacks. • To protect against attacks in cyberspace, system administrators need a thorough understanding of the methods used by attackers to break into computers. You can't fight an enemy if you don't know how the weapons they use work. Protection of individuals Individuals have limited opportunities to use system administrators for protection. They need to protect themselves from viruses. The main measures to prevent viruses are to avoid suspicious sites and limit downloads of applications not from a secure site. It is also recommended not to click on links sent by mail. The elimination of the consequences One way is to download an antivirus program, which in turn will help you find and remove malware, as well as detect them in a timely manner and block them so that they do not harm your computer.An alternative option is to enable an antivirus in the browser,and block malicious sites immediately, so that the virus does not get to the computer.
