The paper aims to raise awareness in the domain of security and privacy
concerns in network communication that takes place among machines.
Knowing that there are lots of possibilities that an attacker or hacker
may get a slight chance of causing exploits from network vulnerabilities
leads to threats at personal and organizational level. In this paper,
research has been carried out using survey methodology to gather user
viewpoints on general awareness and importance of network security and
privacy. The results will be used to support the overall significance of
how a network should behave and work on behalf of the users. The main
goal as developers and engineers is to prioritize and improve user
satisfaction and data protection standard. Therefore, this paper will
also discuss the methodologies and possible ways to offer the best
strategies for protection against security and privacy attacks.
