CRYPTO

An Amalgamation of Cyber Defense and Ethical Hacking Mechanisms

Prelude

Security on its own is a misnomer in this technological and (for the most part) cybernated era. Cyber-
Security has emerged as a crucial factor in protecting almost every, or atleast the online aspect of human
lives. The preponderance of electronic devices used are computers, including mobile phones, Smart TVs
and even smart watches, all of which contain personal or business data. Cybercrimes take place
ubiquitously, wrecking havoc by causing loss and sometimes even misuse of these information.
According to RiskIQ’s 2019 Evil Internet Minute, cybercrimes cost around $2.9 million dollars to the global
economy every minute. This invokes the necessity to secure data, to prevent it from being stolen or
compromised. It is thus, unerring to assume that cybercrimes are imminent, and hence, preventive
countermeasures are required to be set in place to sail above these turbulent waves of cyber-attacks.
Centralizing this theme, initialised the development of Crypto. The idea involves developing an AI
assistant that is capable of implementing secure policies using built-in security tools and also aid in ethical
hacking operations. For those of you, for whom, on reading the word AI, nightmares of AI world
domination are imminent:
