Abstract

Cyber Security is a field of Computer Science that studies computer systems’ and networks’ vulnerabilities to attacks with the aim of obtaining information, damaging information or destroying the functionality of systems or networks. Cyber Security also studies the ways to prevent these attacks by identifying various methods to secure computer systems and networks. In this article we present the main cyberattacks, such as ARP cache poisoning, SYN flooding, DNS cache poisoning, Sniffing/Spoofing, Denial of Service, Man in the Middle, as well as the ways to secure a computer network against these attacks.
