I Reflect on the effectiveness of research methods applied for meeting objectives of the computing research project (P6)

1 Introduction

With the extraordinary headway of Internet innovation over the most recent couple of many years, the refinement of exploits and consequently dangers to PC frameworks has likewise expanded Abuse is performed by noxious programmers who track down weaknesses or shortcomings, which are underlying blunders in the security settings in the

PC framework Normal kinds of weaknesses are mistakes in the plan or setup of organization framework, conventions, media, working frameworks, electronic applications and administrations, information bases, and that's only the tip of the iceberg The endeavor when fruitful prompts security assaults on the PC framework In this way, a danger is a potential peril brought about by a framework weakness, while an assault is an endeavor to play out an unapproved or unsafe activity

Acknowledgment of a danger is regularly inconvenient and is alluded to as an assault Here

we will show the application that our group does to upgrade the infections that attack your

PC

2 Main objectives of the project on computer security

Objective 1: Help keep data safe in the best way

Gatecrashers can't get in where they ought to be - outside of your organization By raising a virtual "divider" against approaching and active traffic, the firewall decides to permit or hinder specific traffic to go through Firewalls and hostile to infection programming are a decent establishment for building your organization's security and making your PC more secure

Objective 2: Do not let others infiltrate your computer

Programmers wrongfully access gadgets or sites to take individuals' very own data, which they use to carry out violations like burglary Many individuals shop, bank and take care of bills on the web Individuals additionally store monetary data, similar to Mastercard numbers or financial balances, on their gadgets A programmer can cause a ton of harm regardless of whether just one record or gadget is compromised To exacerbate the situation, programmers are hard to forestall as they are frequently situated outside of the United States and utilize cutting edge innovation to dodge law implementation and acquire

a lot of information Install Install hostile to infection and against malware programming In case you don't have security programming, introduce firewalls and against infection programming and stay up with the latest There are numerous respectable items that are presented free of charge or have a free time for testing These projects assist with distinguishing the most recent dangers and permit clients to eliminate malware from their gadgets Do your exploration prior to introducing any program and be keeping watch for tricks that stunt you into uncovering your own data or direct you to download programs that might contain malware

Objective 3: Protect your computer away from viruses, computer worms that slow down your computer's performance

Today we use web associated gadgets in all parts of our lives We go online to track down data, shop, bank, do schoolwork, mess around, and keep in contact with loved ones through web-based media Therefore, our gadgets contain a ton of individual data about us This might incorporate banking and other monetary records, and clinical data — data that we need to ensure In the event that your gadget isn't ensured, character criminals and other fraudsters can access and take your own data Spammers can utilize your PC as a "zombie drone" to send spam that resembles it's coming from you Infections or pernicious spyware can be shipped off your PC, dialing it back or obliterating records By utilizing wellbeing measures and great practices to ensure your gadgets, you can secure your and your family's security by introducing a firewall, work area assurance application right on your gadget to ensure your own data in the most ideal way

3 Research methods

3.1 Secondary research

❖ Definition:

Secondary research or desk research is a research method that involves using already existing data Existing data is summarized and collated to increase the overall effectiveness

of research Secondary research includes research material published in research reports and similar documents These documents can be made available by public libraries, websites, data obtained from already filled in surveys etc Some government and non-government agencies also store data, that can be used for research purposes and can be retrieved from them Secondary research is much more cost-effective than primary research, as it makes use of already existing data, unlike primary research where data is collected first hand by organizations or businesses or they can employ a third party to collect data on their behalf

Trang 10

❖ Examples:

- Data available on the internet

- Government and non-government agencies Public libraries

- Educational Institutions Commercial information sources

❖ Advantages of Secondary research:

Most information in this research is readily available There are many sources from which relevant data can be collected and used, unlike primary research, where data needs to collect from scratch

This is a less expensive and less time-consuming process as data required is easily available and doesn’t cost much if extracted from authentic sources A minimum expenditure is associated to obtain data

The data that is collected through secondary research, gives organizations or businesses an idea about the effectiveness of primary research Hence, organizations or businesses can form a hypothesis and evaluate cost of conducting primary research

Secondary research is quicker to conduct because of availability of data It can be completed within a few weeks depending on the objective of businesses or scale of data needed

❖ Disadvantages of Secondary research:

Although data is readily available, credibility evaluation must be performed to understand the authenticity of the information available

Not all secondary data resources offer the latest reports and statistics Even when the data

is accurate, it may not be updated enough to accommodate recent timelines

Secondary research derives its conclusion from collective primary research data The success

of your research will depend, to a greater extent, on the quality of research already conducted by primary research

3.2 Qualitative research

❖ Definition:

Qualitative research is defined as a market research method that focuses on obtaining data through open- ended and conversational communication This method is not only about

<what= people think but also <why= they think so For example, consider a convenience store looking to improve its patronage A systematic observation concludes that the number

of men visiting this store are more One good method to determine why women were not visiting the store is to conduct an in-depth interview of potential customers in the category

❖ Examples:

- One-on-one interview Focus groups

- Ethnographic research Case study research

- Record keeping Process of observation

3.3 Quantitative research

Quantitative research is defined as a systematic investigation of phenomena by gathering quantifiable data and performing statistical, mathematical, or computational techniques Quantitative research collects information from existing and potential customers using sampling methods and sending out online surveys, online polls, questionnaires, etc., the results of which can be depicted in the form of numerical After careful understanding of these numbers to predict the future of a product or service and make changes accordingly

Trang 12

❖ Examples:

Some examples of quantitative research are:

If any organization would like to conduct a customer satisfaction (CSAT) survey, a customer satisfaction survey template can be used Through this survey, an organization can collect quantitative data and metrics on the goodwill of the brand or organization in the mind of the customer based on multiple parameters such as product quality, pricing, customer experience, etc This data can be collected by asking a net promoter score (NPS) question, matrix table questions, etc that provide data in the form of numbers that can be analyzed and worked upon

Another example of quantitative research is an organization that conducts an event, collecting feedback from the event attendees about the value that they see from the event

By using an event survey template, the organization can collect actionable feedback about satisfaction levels of customers during various phases of the event such as the sales, pre and post-event, the likelihood of recommending the organization to their friends and colleagues, hotel preferences for the future events and other such questions

❖ Advantages of Quantitative research:

Collect reliable and accurate data: As data is collected, analyzed, and presented in numbers, the results obtained will be extremely reliable Numbers do not lie They offer an honest picture of the conducted research without discrepancies and is also extremely accurate In situations where a researcher predicts conflict, quantitative research is conducted Quick data collection: A quantitative research is carried out with a group of respondents who represent a population A survey or any other quantitative research method applied to these respondents and the involvement of statistics, conducting, and analyzing results is quite straightforward and less time- consuming

Wider scope of data analysis: Due to the statistics, this research method provides a wide scope of data collection

Eliminate bias: This research method offers no scope for personal comments or biasing of results The results achieved are numerical and are thus, fair in most cases

4 Explanation

The methods that our team used are Secondary Research With the use of secondary research methods, we were able to rely on data and user reviews about current computer security software That is also the security solution that we want to bring Thanks to that,

we were able to analyze the information we collected, and at the same time survey customers' opinions about those security software to be able to offer the best security solution for users
