1969 - Birth of ARPANET:
ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network), the precursor to the modern internet, was created by the U.S. Department of Defense. Security was not a significant concern at this early stage.
1971 - First Computer Virus:
The first computer virus, known as "Creeper," was created by Bob Thomas. Although it was more of a playful experiment, it laid the foundation for later malware and cybersecurity concerns.
1983 - DNS Introduced:
The Domain Name System (DNS) was introduced, providing a hierarchical and decentralized system to match human-readable hostnames to numerical IP addresses. DNS became a crucial aspect of internet security.
1988 - Morris Worm:
The Morris Worm, created by Robert Tappan Morris, became one of the first well-known malware outbreaks. It highlighted the need for cybersecurity measures to combat malicious software.
1990s - Rise of Commercial Internet:
The 1990s saw the rapid growth of the internet for commercial use, emphasizing the need for security protocols to protect sensitive data and transactions.
1994 - SSL/TLS Protocols Introduced:
Netscape Communications introduced SSL (Secure Sockets Layer), a protocol that provided a secure encrypted connection between web browsers and servers. TLS (Transport Layer Security) succeeded SSL and remains a fundamental part of internet security.
1995 - Windows 95 and Internet Explorer:
The release of Windows 95 and Internet Explorer marked a significant shift, making personal computers more accessible for internet use. However, this also increased the vulnerability to cyber threats.
2000s - Proliferation of Malware and Cyber Attacks:
The 2000s witnessed a surge in cyber attacks, malware, and cybercrime, with notable incidents like the "ILOVEYOU" virus in 2000 and the Code Red and Nimda worms in 2001.
2004 - Facebook and Social Media Security Concerns:
With the rise of social media platforms like Facebook, new security concerns emerged, including privacy breaches, phishing, and identity theft.
