Introduction to Cyber Security
Cyber Security Introduction - Cyber Security Basics:
Cyber security is the most concerned matter as cyber threats and attacks are overgrowing.
Attackers are now using more sophisticated techniques to target the systems. Individuals,
small-scale businesses or large organization, are all being impacted. So, all these firms whether
IT or non-IT firms have understood the importance of Cyber Security and focusing on adopting
all possible measures to deal with cyber threats.
What is cyber security?
"Cyber security is primarily about people, processes, and technologies working together to
encompass the full range of threat reduction, vulnerability reduction, deterrence, international
engagement, incident response, resiliency, and recovery policies and activities, including
computer network operations, information assurance, law enforcement, etc."
OR
Cyber security is the body of technologies, processes, and practices designed to protect
networks, computers, programs and data from attack, damage or unauthorized access.
• The term cyber security refers to techniques and practices designed to protect digital
data.
• The data that is stored, transmitted or used on an information system.
OR
Cyber security is the protection of Internet-connected systems, including hardware, software,
and data from cyber attacks.
It is made up of two words one is cyber and other is security.
• Cyber is related to the technology which contains systems, network and programs or
data.
• Whereas security related to the protection which includes systems security, network
security and application and information security.
Why is cyber security important?
Listed below are the reasons why cyber security is so important in what’s become a
predominant digital world:
• Cyber attacks can be extremely expensive for businesses to endure.
• In addition to financial damage suffered by the business, a data breach can also inflict
untold reputational damage.
• Cyber-attacks these days are becoming progressively destructive. Cybercriminals are
using more sophisticated ways to initiate cyber attacks.
