Review of cyber security threats and proposed trustworthy memory acquisition mechanism

Abstract

Due to the major exponential leap in the amount of digital data generated, processed, transferred and stored in a daily life brings challenges to the digital forensic field as like it does in other research and technical area. Digital forensics has become rapidly important as a method to investigate a cyber and mobile-assisted crime. While multiple tools are present and much research & development are being undertaken, but huge uncertainties and challenges exist regarding the future of cyber security. In this literature a detailed survey is discussed on security threats in cyber security and analyzing some network with existing tools and proposes a trustworthy memory acquisition management based security solution. The crucial challenges that exist within the domain, including increased volume of data as per platforms and systems that exist, security mechanism for securing the data on existing systems, analyzing the unwanted cyber threats and forensic investigation on stored database.
