Secure Cyberspace
Secure Cyberspace Background
- More internet use = More internet attacks
- Cybercrime damages are almost 6 Trillion dollars per year
- Cyber attacks are a dangerous threat to homeland security and the average
American
Problem Statement
- Security threats against online data are increasing.
- One area of concern is protecting individual’s personal data.
- OUR PLAN:
- Increase security on account logins to prevent hacking.
- Zero trust networks - Multi-factor authentications.
Approach
- We want our solution to be economically accessible to all of the public
and not just a select few
- Therefore we want our solution to keep costs down in order to sell at a
lower price or even free!
Objective
- Learn and adapt our knowledge to create a solution regarding current
data breaches.
Design Requirements
Must Haves:
a) A way to provide substantial improvements in data security.
b) Solution must be easily accessible to the public.
Would be Nice:
c) Solution is non-complex, easy to understand.
d) A solution that maintains its presence for long periods of time.
Compromises:
e) None of us have previous experience in this topic, so we will be diving in blind.
f) We are limited by previously existing methods of ensuring security.
Overview of Actions
- Our plan is to research security options that are sustainable, cost-
effective and accessible to the general population.
- We will research potential solutions such as Zero Trust networks, multi-
factor authentication, and general cybersecurity education.
