What is the difference between cyber forensics and cyber security?

-

Cyber forensics deals with analysing, preserving, extracting and submitting evidence in an permissible format. Cyberforensics extensively deals with investigation of cybercrimes and frauds that happen using technology.
Cybersecurity is a vast field. It deals with finding vulnerbilities(loop holes). Patching those loopholes which might be present in websites, operating system, software etc and thereby imrpoving the entire security so that hacking attempts can be reduced.

Turing test   is one of the influential and widely criticized tests that checks a machine’s intelligence. The concept of the test is to ask two participants a series of questions, trying to determine which one is the human and which one is the machine. If, by the end of the test, it’s still unclear who is who, then the computer passed t...
