ANALYSING THE AWARENESS OF CYBER CRIME AND DESIGNING A RELEVANT FRAMEWORK WITH RESPECT TO CYBER WARFARE: AN EMPIRICAL STUDY

Internet users are progressively getting themselves vulnerable to security dangers amid their utilization of the internet. Therefore, the concern can be raised about users' awareness of these issues, and the degree to which they are thus secured and prepared to manage situations they may experience. This paper has provided a survey of contemporary thought on the challenges presented by cybercrime. It began by looking at existing definitions of cybercrime and cyberwarfare and found two problems that needed resolving. Firstly, it was found that there is no widely accepted definition of either cybercrime or cyber warfare. This is problematic since, without an agreed definition, it is difficult to discuss the deeper issues or even recognize when cyber warfare is occurring. It presents outcomes from the study of 325 users to evaluate their view of security issues, their awareness and their dispositions towards the utilization of related software. The findings uncover that in spite of the fact that there is a high level of confidence at a surface level, with respondents asserting to know about the dangers and using a large number of the important protections, more thorough interpretation proposes that there are a few regions in which essential information and comprehension are inadequate. Even though a large portion of the issues was typically intense among fledgeling users, there was additionally outstanding ignorance among users who viewed themselves to have propelled levels of internet knowledge.
