摘要：The Internet is undoubtedly the largest public data network enabling and facilitating both personal & business communications worldwide. Wireless networking has experienced a tremendous growth becoming an integral part of homes, offices & all type of businesses. It provides many advantages, but it is also coupled with many security threats and alters the organizations overall information security risk profile. Although implementation of technological solution is the usual respond to the wireless security threats and vulnerabilities, wireless security is primarily a management issue. Cyber crime is constantly evolving and the growing increase in the number of threats that use social engineering techniques is causing concern for several businesses. All it takes is for one user to click on a malicious link and a firm's network can be brought to a grinding halt. But the early days of cyber threats have gone now. Cyber threats have increased in large number. The volume of effect of these attacks has increased tremendously whereas the transaction time has decreased. The sources of attacks and exploitations are difficult to determine within time frames that enable victims to avoid damage, and any defensive measure is likely eventually to fail given the vulnerabilities of most cyber systems and the incapacities of users. In this paper we review different cyber threats and control mechanisms available and how these are affecting the network world.
