What is Cybersecurity?
Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting systems, networks, and programs from digital attacks. These attacks are usually aimed at accessing, changing, or destroying sensitive information; extorting money from users; or interrupting normal business processes.
Implementing effective cybersecurity measures is particularly challenging today because there are more devices than people, and attackers are becoming more innovative. there are more devices than people, and attackers are becoming more innovative.
A successful cybersecurity approach has multiple layers of protection spread across computers, networks, programs, and data that an organization wants to keep safe. In a world where cyber threats evolve rapidly, understanding the fundamentals of security is essential for everyone.
Defense in Depth
A layered approach to security that uses multiple defensive mechanisms. If one layer fails, another layer provides protection.
Principle of Least Privilege
Users should only have the minimum levels of access necessary to perform their job functions, reducing potential damage from accidents or attacks.
