Abstract
Cybersecurity is currently a topic of utmost significance in tech sectors. The ever-evolving landscape of this field makes it particularly difficult to navigate. This paper aims to help the reader understand the complexity of network attacks and also show how we may never ‘solve’ the problem of cyber attacks. Our paper may be accessible to the layman, but a basic understanding of networking fundamentals would be desirable. Computer security, cybersecurity, or information technology security may all be used interchangeably throughout the paper. An ‘attack’ will refer to a breach in security to an online system that may cause (but is not limited to) the following: unauthorized information disclosure, theft of technology, or disruption of services.
