Enhance cybersecurity awareness and survivability for DoD, industry partners, and academia in the face of the ever-increasing threat of cyber attacks. Cybersecurity (CS) includes managing risks related to the use, processing, storage, and transmission of information and the systems and processes used for those purposes, including analog and physical form. CS includes information availability, identification and authentication, confidentiality, integrity, and non-repudiation as well as the economic considerations with respect to selection of CS techniques, CS processes, and industry trends.

Designed to avoid “rule based detection by antivirus scanners,” these apps were concealing themselves (once downloaded) and pestering people with full screen advertisements.
Everybody has a phone nowadays and most people look for use at least some apps. There are those that constantly look for more in order to make their use of technology and their lives more convenient. I would say this is a high-risk area.

We live in a society that is basically controlled by technology because you cannot go anywhere and not find technology. One example is the computer. In today’s world, almost everyone has a computer. Because of computers, many evil peoples such as hackers can create apps and other bad software that can damage other people’s information. People believe that nothing can happen to them until it is too late. Failure of security systems is another concern because hackers can find ways to get around them.By updating these security systems, people would have a lower chance of getting hacked or getting their information stolen from them by these dangerous apps.
