It is utmost necessary, while working from home one must need to be cyber-active in this era of digitization…. as the number of cases of cyber-attacks are on rise. Protecting the information becomes a job of utmost importance, else the unsecured data could land into the wrong hands.

The need of the hour is to have a secure cyber safety system in place as well as its regular maintenance. Various security companies are providing security strategies and risk management to network as well as penetration tests to secure your infrastructure  and they are  Fortinet, Paloalto, Checkpoint, Sonicwall, Sophos and others.

Researchers say, as technology gets advanced, most of the OEMs products have the backdoors. The backdoor refers to any method by which authorized and unauthorized users are able to get around normal security measures and gain high level user access or root access onto a computer system, network, or software application.

This causes the security professionals collect various types of data, behaviour, pattern and many more things ,which a normal person can’t be able to understand, unless he has a deeper knowledge into cyber security.

Last year, Huawei had proposed to the Indian government that to sign 'no back door' agreement. Now, the question is whether other technology companies either into Hardware/Software business in India, are ready to sign the agreement- No Backdoor agreement.

Now a question is on how many companies would be ready to share their source code with the Government.

Generally, Backdoors are included to allow access to a system by external agencies or third parties.
