CYBER SECURITY

 

    WHATS IS CYBER SECURITY??

• The means by which you protect (secure) the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your people, processes, technologies, and data is cybersecurity

    WHY IS SO IMPORTANT??

• With well over 800,000 cybercrime complaints — and nearly $7 billion in losses — reported to the FBI in 2021, cybersecurity is a must-have for today’s businesses and consumers. And considering that only an estimated 10% of cybercrimes are even reported, the potential impacts on companies and individuals are astronomical.
• The digital era has revolutionized the way we do business, but with that we’ve introduced new types of risk, including cybersecurity

TYPES OF CYBER SECURITY

Application security: This is the process of keeping applications secure by developing, deploying, and testing security features in software. 

• Critical infrastructure security: This aims to limit critical infrastructure vulnerabilities related to servers, data centers, network communications, and IT centers.
• End-user behavior: Providing education and cybersecurity training to end-users on device security, phishing scams, and other potential threats can prevent cyberattacks.
• Information security: Also called InfoSec, information security is the tools and processes used to protect sensitive business information and data from disruption, destruction, and modification.
• Internet of Things (IoT) security: IoT security aims to prevent cyberattacks that target network-connected physical IoT devices — anything with a sensor that can transmit data over the Internet. There will likely be around 75 billion IoT devices by 2025, up from 31 billion in 2020.
• Network security: This type of security protects computer networks from malware and other cyber threats.
