What is Cyber security?

Cyber security is the protection of information and systems in Cyberspace, which include the interaction of people, processes, and technology.

The practice of cyber security is uniting people, policies, processes, and technologies to protect systems and information from digital attacks. These cyberattacks are usually aimed at accessing, changing, or destroying sensitive information; extorting money from users; or interrupting normal business processes. The attacks can have operational, financial, reputational, and strategic consequences for the organization.

The threat landscape is constantly evolving. Malicious actors are continuously developing. The methods are becoming increasingly innovative and the attackers more sophisticated. This, combined with an increase in organizational and technological complexities, introduces a high degree of risk toward digital vulnerabilities which can be exploited by digital attacks.

A successful cyber security approach has multiple layers of protection spread across the computers, networks, programs, or data that one intends to keep safe. In an organization, the people, processes, and technology must complement one another to create an effective defense from cyber-attacks.
