Security threats can be in many forms may be humaninteraction, attacking sites and blogs, hijacking servers and spying on personal information andmails. These threats results in loss of confidential data and sensitive information belonging toany organization.Intruders captureongoing traffic of any business organization and theymanipulates and retrieves confidential information related to business organization. There are somany techniques through which an intruder or attacker may attack any organization or steals datasuch as: social engineering, phishing, cross-site scripting and Denial of Service attack.The mostcommon attacking technique that attackers use is social engineering.Social Engineering is a kindof attack in which detailed information about victim is extracted from personal blogs, sites themvisiting and by following him physically.

Thescanners haveto be updated that can triggers whenever found anyphysical media devices or hard material inside bags, so that security incidents can be prevented.The scanning machines has to be implemented such that they can read codes even on small chipsthat remains undetected in some scanning machines. These electronic chips can store largeamount of data just by attaching them with any storage device using some mediator. The otherthreat is the hiding of drives within shielded plastic case through which scanner cannot scaninside. The second technique that has to be used in order to prevent security threats is thebiometricsystems, whichhas to be implemented to identify physical identity of a person.The simple identity card scanning system can be bypassed using electronic chips, so as tomake sure that the person entering the zone is the authorized individual, biometric system has tobe implemented.These biometric systems haveto be configured in such a way that they canrecognize palm or eyes or any other identity of a person that has already there in the database.There are numerous biometric systems already present in the market like face detection systems,palm reading, thumb detection and eye scanning system and various other biometric systems.These biometric systems has to be triggered in such a way that if any identity of an individual didnot match to the database, then it has to raise an alarm and locks the door of the zone, so thatsecurity incident can be measured and person doing this taken under security.The third technique that has to be done is by implementing firewall within the internaland external network.
