Abstract

The current research scenario shows considerable work on the fundamental considerations for Cybersecurity. The physical world will fuse with the digital world in the future through enhanced technologies. However, there still exists the problem of radical uncertainty, particularly in the form of information theft. In this project we provide an analysis of the critical factors affecting the security of internet-based businesses; we also present a casual model-based security system that affects and helps the central characteristics of contemporary internet-based businesses.
