Answer 1

ANSWER :

They are the more common threats to businesses and their networks and data. These can come in the form of a direct attack on a system in the form of hackers, spam, viruses and worms. They can also show themselves in the form of credit card fraud and identity theft from data stolen from companies systems.

A man-made disaster differs from natural disasters. The incident results from hazards involving an element of human intent, negligence or error, or threats involving a failure of a man-made system.

Then my discussion i would tell about a man made threat in which One neighbor tried to burn the crop and house of our other neighbor. the threat was based on intent of attacker to harm the property and make other neighbor to suffer loss because the attacker was jealous of their growth.

Thus steps which attacker take prior to threat is to plan the threat in which he arrange all the material like gasoline, lighter, and make plan to observe when other neighbor sleep at what time, when they go outside and when there is no one in house so that he can get the best opportunity to make his plan in action.

When threat, the attacker see that all the member of family are going to wedding and there is no one in the house so attacker carefully put the gasoline to crops and house and see around there was no and lit the fire and after the threat everything was burned to ground.

Then at this situation could have been handled if the other neighbor put CCTV cameras and water sprinkler in their house also fire alarm so that when there is fire so people or fire fighter can come and prevent the threat from happening.
