What is Cybersecurity?

Cybersecurity refers to the practice of protecting computer systems, networks, and data from unauthorised access, theft, damage, or disruption. It involves implementing measures to prevent and detect threats, as well as responding to and recovering from security incidents.

In today's interconnected world, where information is stored and transmitted digitally, cybersecurity has become crucial to safeguarding sensitive information and ensuring the privacy, integrity, and availability of digital assets. It encompasses various technologies, processes, and practices designed to secure computer systems and networks against a wide range of threats, such as cyberattacks, data breaches, viruses, malware, and other malicious activities.

Key aspects of cybersecurity include:

1. Risk Assessment: Identifying potential vulnerabilities, evaluating risks, and determining the impact of potential threats on the system or network.

2. Protective Measures: Implementing security controls and measures to prevent unauthorized access, such as firewalls, encryption, access controls, and intrusion detection systems.

3. Threat Detection: Employing tools and technologies to detect and monitor for potential threats and vulnerabilities, such as antivirus software, intrusion detection systems, and security information and event management (SIEM) systems.

4. Incident Response: Developing plans and procedures to respond effectively to security incidents, including investigating and containing breaches, mitigating damages, and recovering systems and data.

5. Security Awareness and Training: Educating users about best practices for cybersecurity, including password hygiene, social engineering awareness, and safe browsing habits, to help prevent common security risks.

6. Continuous Monitoring and Improvement: Regularly reviewing and updating security measures to adapt to evolving threats, new vulnerabilities, and emerging technologies.
