"Giving yourself to others is the most important thing. When you give, you get something in return."

In the early age when computer are invented, no one think that one day these  computers are became the part of life. It's just because in those day the size of computer are big and expensive.And the most typical problem is, only few person (developers) are know ,how to operate this machine. Till 1970 computers are work on machine language ,which are too difficult to learn. After the development of 'C' language (1971 developed by Dennis Ritchie.) a revolutionary change comes in the area of computer. And computer hacking takes born in this age also. The first case of Cyber crime  comes in 1971.

When John Draper discovers the give-away whistle in Cap'n Crunch cereal boxes reproduces a 2600Hz tone. Draper builds a ‘blue box’ that, when used with the whistle and sounded into a phone receiver, allows phreaks to make free calls. Esquire publishes "Secrets of the Little Blue Box" with instructions for making one. Wire fraud in the US escalates.
A rogue program called the Creeper spreads through early Bulletin Board networks.

Till 1971 to 1990 maximum 20 thousand cyber crime cases registered. In those day, its very difficult to  hack any things. Only few peoples (who has  the deep knowledge of computers) are able to hack system.

Now days Cyber crimes are growing very fast. Every day a new case registered.
Because of this , Cyber security is became a vast area for  career. One of the biggest reason of Cyber crime is ,we are entering in the new world "Digital world " without the good knowledge of this world, crimnals takes advantage of this.

Now days ethical hacker not only provide a security to software company but also they are very important for banking sector. They are provide security in banking transaction. As cyber crime increased ,ethical hacker are became  root of corporate sector.

There are different kind of job available in different companies on the basis of their needs. And company gives a very good package to security expert. There are upto 170 company which are provide a bug bounty program (A program which  legally call the hacker to  search vulnerability in their  company product.)  also reward the hacker who search vulnerability in their product and some times they call the  hacker for job in their company.

High employer demand, fabulous salaries, great promotion prospects – what’s not to love about cyber security? According to data compiled by Burning Glass, postings for cyber security jobs grew 74% from 2007 to 2013 – 2x faster than other IT positions.

According to Forbes cybersecurity market which is expected to grow from $75 billion in 2015 to $170 billion by 2020.

Cybersecurity workers can command an average salary premium of nearly $6,500 per year, or 9% more than other IT workers, according to the Job Market Intelligence: Cybersecurity Jobs 2015 report published by Burning Glass Technologies.

    !! Introduction to cyber risks !!

Cyber risks can be divided into three distinct areas:

Cyber crime:-  Conducted by individuals
                         working alone, or in organised groups, intent on extracting money, data or causing disruption, cyber crime can take many forms, including the acquisition of credit/debit card data and intellectual property, and impairing the operations of a website or service.

Cyber war:-       A nation state conducting
                           sabotage and espionage against another nation in order to cause disruption or to extract data. This could involve the use of Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs).

Cyber terror:-      An organisation, working
                             independently of a nation state, conducting terrorist activities through the medium of cyberspace.

'Organisations that have to consider measures against cyber war or cyber terror include governments, those within the critical national infrastructure, and very high-profile institutions. It is unlikely that most organisations will face the threat of cyber war or cyber terror.'

To make our self safe from these kind of thing , We all have to need security. This kind of  security is called by Cyber security.

Cyber security defined as the protection of systems, networks and data in cyberspace is a critical issue for all businesses.

  Why this is important?

:-Governments, military, corporations, financial institutions, hospitals and other businesses collect, process and store a great deal of confidential information on computers and transmit that data across networks to other computers. With the growing volume and sophistication of cyber attacks, ongoing attention is required to protect sensitive business and personal information, as well as safeguard national security.
