Abstract

Cyber attacks have become a major concern for organizations and individuals a like, as they continue to evolve in sophistication and scale. In response to this growing threat, information systems security has emerged as a critical area of research and practice. The objective of this study is to investigate and analyze various aspects related to information systems security, detection, and recovery from cyber attacks. The research methodology employed in this study encompasses a comprehensive literature review, case studies, and interviews with experts in the field, in order to identify key concepts and best practices in information systems security. The findings of this research reveal that effective measures for protecting information systems from cyber attacks involve a multi-layered approach, comprising of technical, organizational, and human factors. Technical measures involve the implementation of robust security systems, such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and encryption protocols, to safeguard against unauthorized access. Furthermore, regular system updates and patches are crucial in mitigating vulnerabilities and preventing potential breaches. Recovery from cyber attacks is a critical aspect that organizations should consider. Prompt and effective response is crucial to minimize the impact of cyber attacks and restore normal operations. This study emphasizes the importance of having a well-defined incident response plan, which includes steps for containment, eradication, and recovery. Additionally, regular backups and disaster recovery plans are essential for data and system restoration. This research highlights the importance of information systems security, detection, and recovery from cyber attacks. It provides insights into the various measures and strategies that organizations can adopt to protect their systems and data. The findings of this research contribute to the existing body of knowledge in the field of information systems security and serve as a valuable resource for practitioners and policymakers. Further research in this area is recommended to address the evolving nature of cyber threats and the advancements in security technologies.
