CYBERSECURITY CHALLENGES IN COMPUTER SCIENCE

Abstract

Cybersecurity has emerged as a critical concern in the field of computer science, driven by the increasing sophistication of cyber threats and the expanding digital landscape. This review paper explores the multifaceted challenges that cybersecurity professionals face today, including advanced persistent threats, ransomware attacks, social engineering, and vulnerabilities in emerging technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI). By analyzing recent literature and case studies, this paper highlights the evolving nature of cyber threats and the need for robust, adaptive security measures. Additionally, it discusses the importance of interdisciplinary approaches, integrating insights from computer science, psychology, and organizational behavior to develop comprehensive cybersecurity strategies. The review concludes with recommendations for future research and practice, emphasizing the necessity for continuous innovation and collaboration to stay ahead of adversaries.
