Abstract
Man has reached a long way since inception and during the course of time he has managed to develop and invent technology for his own benefits. One can’t deny the fact that the computer by far is one of the finest creations of the humans. It has become an indispensable part of our life and it has become a very important tool in this information era. Computers with internet connections have enabled the man to perform any job or activity with just one click. Ordering food, online shopping, performing bank transactions, getting any kind of information at any time and at any given place has become very easy, thanks to the internet. So this proves that undoubtedly computers and internet are omnipresent and are linked directly or indirectly in almost every activity we do. Everything has its equal share of pros and cons. And computers and internet networks are no such exception. The internet has been used by many miscreants for all the wrong purposes. The issue of cyber crime has risen considerably in the last decade or so. Many people have fallen prey to the cyber crime. This problem has been in the market since long and since its arrival, methods and strategies are constantly invented on how to tackle the cyber crime. Many security mechanisms have also been developed to avert the cyber crime. This presentation will concentrate on the challenges faced to tackle cyber crime and also briefly discuss about the security mechanisms employed for the same.
