Abstract :
Cyber-security is a preventive preparation of protecting sensitive information, information systems, computers, servers, critical infrastructure, mobile devices, and computer networks from unauthorized access or hackers. Now a day digital technology takes the most significant role in growth effectiveness and efficiency in the organization. However, new technologies like mobile technologies (5G), IoT and cloud computing are Coming with new information security threats. Employees still using the old software, they didn’t update the software (operating system), they use a permanent password, they are still using weak and default password (Wife name or her phone number) information security literacy and behavior end users or IT staff. They don’t have awareness about proactive cyber-attacks prevention policies and procedures. Because they have not took short and long term training on most serious cyber-attacks like ransom ware, social engineering, malware, DDoS, and phishing. This article attempts to assess or explore the most common and emerging cyber security threats. That the organizations facing. An in-depth literature review is delivered. The main objective of this article is to create awareness about the emerging and the most serious cyber-attacks occurring in the organization. The findings demonstrate that cybersecurity preparations and trained employees are very low; hackers becoming more sophisticated.
