What is Cybersecurity?

Cybersecurity refers to the activity of safeguarding essential computer systems and sensitive data from intrusion by digital means. Cybersecurity measures, also known as information technology (IT) security, are meant to counteract attacks against networked systems and applications. These measures are designed to be effective regardless of where the threats originate within an organization or outside.

Various Categories of Cyber Threats

Cyber Security Goals

The protection of sensitive data should be the primary focus of cyber security. The security community offers a triangle consisting of three interconnected tenets to safeguard the data from being breached by cybercriminals. The CIA trio is the name for this fundamental concept. The CIA model is intended to serve as a guide for developing policies for the information security architecture of a company. One or more of these guiding principles has been disregarded whenever a security breach occurs.

Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability are the three components that may be disassembled from the CIA model. People are helped to think about the many different aspects of IT security by using this model, which is truly a security model. Let us explore each element in depth.

Confidentiality

Protecting one’s privacy by preventing illegal access to one’s information is the same as maintaining confidentiality. It requires guaranteeing that the data is accessible by the authorized individuals to use it while simultaneously preventing access to the data for any other individuals. It stops vital information from being shared with individuals who shouldn’t have it. Data encryption is an excellent example of a measure that may be taken to ensure secrecy.

Integrity

 This concept assures that the data is legitimate, correct, and protected against unauthorized alteration by threat actors or unintentional modification by users. It also ensures that the information is protected from accidental and intentional change. If any changes are made, certain precautions should be taken to safeguard the sensitive data from being corrupted or lost and to facilitate a speedy recovery from such an occurrence. In addition, it emphasizes the importance of verifying the information source.

Availability

The information will always be accessible and helpful to the persons permitted to access it. It ensures that a malfunctioning system or cyberattack does not hamper these accesses.

Cloud Protection 

The term “cloud security” refers to developing cloud infrastructures and applications that are safe for use by businesses that employ cloud service providers such as Amazon Web Services, Google, Azure, Rackspace, and so on.

Protection of Data

This subdomain includes the actions, structures, and processes that enable an organization to grant access to its information systems to lawful persons. This subdomain also consists of the individuals who are granted access. Implementing robust information storage procedures that protect the data while they are either in transit or while they are stored on a computer or a server is one of the strategies that fall under this category. In addition, this sub-domain makes increasing use of authentication protocols, whether they be two-factor or multi-factor authentication systems.

Safety of Computer Networks

The term “network security” refers to the hardware and software methods that safeguard the network and infrastructure against interruptions, unwanted access, and other forms of abuse. An efficient network security system protects a company’s assets against various attacks, whether those threats come from inside or outside the business.
