One of the very first cases of cyber-attack was documented in 1988, when the Morris worm – named after its inventor Robert Tappan Morris, had caused substantial damage on the internet. Since then several cases of such attacks have made history and are still dominating headlines. Hence the need experts who can block these attacks using their highly specialized tools and knowledge to fight from future invasions arose.
