What is Cyber Security?
Cyber Security is a strategic business approach that involves safeguarding computers, servers, mobile devices, electronic systems, networks, and data from malicious attacks. It’s also referred to as information technology security or electronic information security and is applicable in various contexts, including business and mobile computing.
What are the different types of Cyber Security?
This practice secures computer networks from intruders, whether they are targeted attackers or opportunistic malware or ransomware attacks.
Focuses on keeping software and devices free from threats. Ensuring security starts in the design phase before deploying a program or device to prevent compromising data.
Protects the integrity and privacy of data, both during storage and transmission.
Encompasses processes and decisions for handling and safeguarding data assets. This includes user permissions for network access and procedures governing data storage and sharing.
Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity
Define how an organisation responds to a cyber security incident or any event causing operational or data loss. Disaster recovery plans guide the restoration of operations, while business continuity plans help the organisation operate without certain resources.
Educating users on practices such as avoiding suspicious email attachments and refraining from plugging unidentified USB drives is crucial for organisational security.
