Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting computer systems, networks, and data from cyber threats, such as hacking, malware, data breaches, and other cyberattacks. It involves a combination of technologies, processes, and best practices designed to safeguard digital assets from unauthorized access, damage, or theft.
- Protecting networks from cyber threats like unauthorized access, DDoS attacks, and malware.
- Ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data.
- Securing software and applications from vulnerabilities and exploits.
- Protecting data, applications, and services in cloud environments.
- Securing end-user devices (laptops, mobiles, etc.) from threats.
- Ensuring that only authorized users can access systems and data.
- Protecting internal processes and risk management.
- Ensuring quick recovery after a cyber incident.
- (Viruses, Ransomware, Trojans, Spyware)
- (Fraudulent emails to steal sensitive information)
- (Overloading systems to disrupt services)
- (Intercepting communications)
- (Exploiting database vulnerabilities)
- (Attacks on newly discovered security flaws)
Best Practices for Cybersecurity
- ✔ Use strong, unique passwords and enable multi-factor authentication (MFA).
- ✔ Keep software, operating systems, and antivirus programs updated.
- ✔ Be cautious of phishing emails and suspicious links.
- ✔ Implement firewalls and intrusion detection/prevention systems.
- ✔ Regularly back up critical data.
