Over the years, there has been gigantic development in the cyber-world due to the extreme growth in the information technology. But the security of this cyber-world is often exploited and is at risk. Currently, there is a severe threat to very basic and highly confidential data. The security organizations are majorly focusing on cyber-security threats rather than other means of attack/ than any other means of attack. These organizations are presently working on the cutting-edge spying techniques and other methodologies to manage cyber-security risk. The expansion of technology from cell phone to the smartphone has engaged the government to work closely with the private sector to secure the cyber network.
