Everything you need to know about cybersecurity basics​

Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting computers, servers, networks, and data from cyberattacks. These attacks aim to access, steal, or destroy sensitive information, extort money, or disrupt business operations. Effective cybersecurity measures include using firewalls, encryption, and secure protocols to defend against these threats.

Network security involves securing a computer network from intruders, both targeted attackers and opportunistic malware. Application security focuses on keeping software and devices free from threats, starting from the design stage. Information security ensures the integrity and privacy of data, both in storage and during transmission. Operational security covers the processes and decisions for handling and protecting data assets.

Disaster recovery and business continuity are crucial for responding to cybersecurity incidents and maintaining operations during disruptions. Educating end-users on best practices, such as recognizing phishing attempts and using strong passwords, is essential for preventing accidental security breaches. With the increasing complexity of cyber threats, a comprehensive approach to cybersecurity is vital for protecting sensitive information and ensuring the smooth operation of businesses and personal systems.
