EasyChair Preprint 10059

Abstract

Cybersecurity threats have grown increasingly complicated alongside the development of new technology. This paper examines the current cybersecurity landscape from the perspective of the challenges businesses face and the solutions available to address those challenges. Malware, phishing, ransomware, and social engineering are key cyber dangers we cover. We also discuss state-of-the-art cybersecurity, including firewalls, IDS/IPS, and encryption. Lastly, we highlight the value of training and education in creating a safe workplace. This article looks at the increasing cybersecurity risks and possible solutions in the modern era of high-tech advancements. We look at some of the most pressing concerns, such as AI-driven assaults, Internet of Things vulnerabilities, and supply chain hazards, and investigate the efficacy of potential solutions, including AI-based cybersecurity, zero-trust networks, and quantum cryptography. The purpose is to educate people on the ever-changing nature of cyber threats and to aid in the creation of better defenses.
