Cybersecurity is concerned with guarding the computer against the varied attacks like malware, spyware, worms and viruses. In the worst case scenarios, a combination of malicious infections will shut down and overload the systems and resources. There are some ways in which the viruses get into the users’ machines. For instance, the browsers being used today are not safe at all. They have very weak points that the expert hackers will use to infect a computer with malware, worms, viruses and spyware. They will use the most trusted sites in making the attacks. This is why proficient software developers invest in constant upgrading of their security.  

Phishing attacks are other forms of cybersecurity threats that ask users for financial and personal information. If the user is not aware and gives out the info, these cybercriminals will use it in extracting cash from the account of the users. Cyber terrorism is an intensifying security threat as well.
