“…This, however, leads to an increase of cyber attacks, potential platform for fraud, and vulnerability for identity theft [2]. As a result, it is crucial for security systems to be up-to-date against scams, malware (malicious software), spam, and phishing attacks [3]. Although one solution can be focusing on detection [4] and classification [5] of the cyber attacks, it will not be sufficient enough considering the fact that these attacks happen globally [6].…”

In this study, we aimed to identify spatial clusters of countries with high rates of cyber attacks directed at other countries. The cyber attack dataset was obtained from Canadian Institute for Cybersecurity, with over 110,000 Uniform Resource Locators (URLs), which were classified into one of 5 categories: benign, phishing, malware, spam, or defacement. The disease surveillance software SaTScanTM was used to perform a spatial analysis of the country of origin for each cyber attack. It allowed the identification of spatial and space-time clusters of locations with unusually high counts or rates of cyber attacks. Number of internet users per country obtained from the 2016 CIA World Factbook was used as the population baseline for computing rates and Poisson analysis in SaTScanTM. The clusters were tested for significance with a Monte Carlo study within SaTScanTM, where any cluster with p < 0.05 was designated as a significant cyber attack cluster. Results using the rate of the different types of malicious URL cyber attacks are presented in this paper. This novel approach of studying cyber attacks from a spatial perspective provides an invaluable relative risk assessment for each type of cyber attack that originated from a particular country.

“…There are different firewalls that work dissimilarly to achieve various effects. Therefore, the independent and depend variables' relationship is affected by an extraneous (control) variable [1]. In this study context, the independent variable is the firewall, and its dependent counterpart is the cyberattack.…”

“…Man in the Middle Attack occurs when traffic through a network is interrupted. This type of attack majorly occurs when the communication protocol is not secured or the attackers manage to go bypass the security, and access data that is transmitted, and access credentials of the user [1]. Code and SQL injection attacks occur when an attacker accesses a website that does not validate inputs and fill out a form or make an API call that enables passing of the malicious code rather than the expected information.…”

“…Most people familiar with daily computer usage over the internet or WI-FI often find notifications from the service provider concerning protection against threats. This refers to firewall protection, which protects users against cyberattacks [1]. Several people have fallen victim of privacy violations online because they lacked firewall protection.…”

Computers and networks serve a host of functions. As they provide the much-needed services, unscrupulous parties also make work difficult by promoting cyberattacks that could lead to sensitive data loss and inability to access a personal computer. The submission explores the use of firewalls in protecting users against network-driven attacks. Firewalls intercept malware attacks, phishing, and identity theft by denying access to certain suspicious sites. However, users must realize that some hardware firewalls cannot protect them from certain web attacks and software firewalls that are in-built fail to detect malicious attacks on some occasions. Therefore, some entities are forced to incorporate both hardware and software to get the desired level of protection. Using an experimental research method, the study explores the effectiveness of firewall protection by presenting more gains that demerits.

“…If a potential cyber attack is discovered, victims should conduct an initial investigation to determine whether the cyber attacks have happened and should take some precautions to prevent this from happening again [19]. So, the important methods used to prevent cyber attack will be explored in this section [20].…”

<span>This article aims to provide an overview of cyber attack awareness and prevention in network security. This article discussed the different types of cyber attacks, current trends of cyber attacks, how to prevent cyber attacks and uum students' awareness of cyber attacks. First, we will go over the different types of cyber attack, current trend, impact of cyber attack and the prevention. The approach entailed comparing and observing the outcomes of 13 different papers. The survey's findings would demonstrate the results obtained after analyzing the data collection which are the questionnaire filled out by respondents after watching the cyber attack awareness video to improve awareness of students through the cyber attack. Depending on the outcome of this survey, we will have a better understanding of current students' knowledge and awareness of cyber attacks, allowing us to improve students' understanding of cyber threats and the necessity of cyber security.</span>
