Cybersecurity refers to the practices, technologies, and processes designed to protect digital information, systems, and networks from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction. It encompasses a broad range of measures, including firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention systems, encryption, access controls, and incident response planning. The goal of cybersecurity is to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of digital assets, while also detecting and responding to potential threats and vulnerabilities.
Effective cybersecurity involves a combination of technical, procedural, and organizational controls. This includes implementing secure configurations for systems and applications, monitoring network traffic and system logs, and conducting regular vulnerability assessments and penetration testing. Additionally, organizations must educate users on safe computing practices and incident response procedures, and establish clear policies and procedures for managing and responding to cybersecurity incidents.

It involves a combination of technologies, policies, and procedures to ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data. Authentication and Authorization are crucial elements, ensuring that only legitimate users access systems and data, and that access is restricted to authorized levels.
Cyberattacks, such as malware, phishing, and ransomware, are common threats. To mitigate these risks, cryptography is used to protect data confidentiality and integrity. Incident Response plans are essential for rapid detection, containment, and eradication of attacks. Additionally, Social Engineering awareness and training help prevent human-based attacks. Third-Party Risk Management ensures that vendors and partners adhere to security standards, reducing the attack surface.
