The advancement in technology has led to the interconnectivity of devices referred to as networking. Not only that computers are networked, but the technology also now incorporates all devices giving rise to Internet of Things (IoT). The wide range of connectivity calls for security and protection of data and information as malicious users of the internet have taken advantage of the system. In this paper, we reviewed most of the common threading types of network attack. The paper has x-rayed the different challenges accompanying a network and how they could be detected and handled accordingly. Moreso, the different types of attacks have been looked into with a view to understanding the emerging attacks and how they could be curbed as well. Different security solutions such as cryptography, firewall and blockchain technology were discussed. Obviously, while implementing these security strategies, we are aware that our data and information cannot be fully secured but measures can be put in place to minimize the extent of attack and damages.
