“…Phishing is sending fraudulent communications that seem to come from a reputed origin, usually by email. Through phishing attacks, the intruders pose as trustworthy contacts and gain sensitive information from the user (Sajal et al, 2019;Singh, 2020). To capture vital sensitive information like credit card numbers, PINs, and login information of users, phishing attacks are launched by adversaries.…”

Recent advancements in e-business, e-healthcare, e-governance, and online digital transactions have brought valuable benefits. Unfortunately, it raises severe cyber-attacks. Cyberattacks disrupt normal operations, try to retrieve confidential information and defense secrets, and subvert the nation's defense systems and Internet-connected devices. Cyber security solutions are required to detect, analyze, defend against threats and protect sensitive data from unauthorized access. This study gives a detailed survey of different cybersecurity attacks, like Denial-of-service attacks, Botnet Evasion Attacks, Malware invasions, Spam and phishing invasion, Spoofing, Domain Generation algorithms, Probing attacks, R2L, and U2R attacks. This research review emphasizes Machine Learning and Deep Learning-based approaches to Cybersecurity problems. This study's key highlights are the research challenges, cybersecurity issues, cyber security domains, and tools for the Intrusion detection system. Data sets play a vital role in cybersecurity research; hence, Private and Publically available datasets are reviewed in this study. Various performance matrices are discussed in this survey which can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of cybersecurity solutions.

Cybersecurity has a vital role in Information Technology. The cybersecurity security involves the security on data/information stored in various devices present on different networks. However, it is very difficult to secure information in today’s world because of the increasing number of devices like computer systems, mobile phones, televisions, etc. for technological development. The data can be in many forms like data of employees in the organization, an individual’s data present on a social media website, the data stored in mobile devices or on the cloud. This data is stored mostly on networks including the company’s websites, servers, the cloud which is the main reason for data to be hacked. Numerous cyber threats are increasing day by day and to ensure cybersecurity and privacy of internet users various challenges have been faced by IT industries. Those challenges include data security, mobile security, network security, Application Security, Biometric authentication. The elaboration of these cybersecurity challenges and cyberattacks will be discussed in this paper. Cyber attacks are not only harmful to organizations, but it is also dangerous for individuals. Those attacks are the attacks done by cyber attackers for their advantage or to harm individuals for their revenge. Some common cyber threats are phishing, ransomware attack, malware, etc. whose description is given below in the ‘Types of cyber-attacks’ section. Moreover, this paper includes cybersecurity techniques that will be helpful to reduce data breaches, identity theft, or other cyber threats. Awareness of those cyber techniques will help both individuals and organizations to protect their information from various types of cyberattacks.

The Internet is an inseparable part of our contemporary lives. This means that protection against threats and attacks is crucial for major companies and for individual users. There is a demand for the ongoing development of methods for ensuring security in cyberspace. A crucial cybersecurity solution is intrusion detection systems, which detect attacks in network environments and responds appropriately. This article presents a new multivariable heuristic intrusion detection algorithm based on different types of flags and values of entropy. The data is shared by organisations to help increase the effectiveness of intrusion detection. The authors also propose default values for parameters of a heuristic algorithm and values regarding detection thresholds. This solution has been implemented in a well-known, open-source system and verified with a series of tests. Additionally, the authors investigated how updating the variables affects the intrusion detection process. The results confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed approach and heuristic algorithm.
