Online security breaching is criminal activity that can happen from any part of the world through the hacking of any infrastructure. Most breaches are done through the falsifying and personal information or even a breach of security stemming from lack of security. Now that more and more crime is happening over the internet there many different aspects to security as a whole. Due to the drastic increase in modern cybercrime the police, information technology specialists, detectives, and even the government need to work together to find a solution. Law enforcement can provide security measures to prevent security issues, “law officials take significant actions against preventing major security breaches” (Kak & Parakh, 2009 p.426).

Every day is a new fight against with cybercrimes and as technology continues to develop new and improved version of things, and invent more gadgets, the war will continue. With the many tasks that were once done by hand being replaced with tablets, laptops, iPads, etc. the massive amount of sensitive information stored on networks, the operation of cyber security programs is required to effectively block hazardous or predatory cyber-attacks and any acts of identity theft but it is up to you to make that decision on what you are willing to trust and who do you trust with the information that you are putting out there.

1 Background A botnet is a collection of compromised hosts (bots) under control of a com- mon Command & Control (C&C). The C&C is used by a remote controller to issue commands to the different infected hosts. A botnet may have several purposes, the most common include Denial-of-Servoice (DoS) attacks, identity theft, proxy, spreading of malware and spamming. Traditional ways to disrupt such networks, such as Domain Name System Blacklists (DNSBL’s) or firewalls, rely on the knowledge of the Internet address of the C&C. Domain Name System (DNS) is of paramount importance in the operation of internet.

Vulnerabilities are like a thorn in the side of every single organization doing business today. In the IT world vulnerabilities are bugs or flaws, a weakness, or an exposure of an application, system, device, or service which could lead to a failure of confidentiality, integrity, or availability (Liu & Zhang, 2011). They are to companies today what the black plague was to Europe in the 1300’s. It doesn’t even matter if the organization is connected to the internet or not it’s still vulnerable to some type of attack. Regardless of what a company actually produces and what its mission statement states their number one internal concern is “vulnerability”.

People are always connected posting information about their lives on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. On the commercial field is the same. The most part of enterprises have their bases computerized. All the transactions and important information are in computers. Cyber Security is now one of the biggest necessities of the world, because our lives resolve around computers, the cyber-attacks are dramatically increasing in number every day, and the cyber attackers are becoming more expert.

Arrangements have been put in place for emergencies to have protected access to the network. The cyber security department will continual strive to improve their services. “Cyber-attacks on a Process Control Network (PCN) pose a risk to the operation” (Henry, 2009, p.223). The uninterrupted, protected access to the organization’s network is the top priority of the cyber security department. Risk Analysis Network hackers are forever inventing ways to break into the computer systems of organizations.
