Importance of Cyber Security

Cybersecurity is significant because it comprises everything that correlates to protecting our sensitive data, personally identifiable information (PII), protected health information (PHI), personal information, intellectual property, data, and governmental and industry information systems from theft and harm attempted by criminals and adversaries. Cyber warnings can come from any level of your organization. You must inform your crew about simple social engineering scams like phishing and more sophisticated cybersecurity attacks like ransomware attacks (think WannaCry) or other malware designed to steal intellectual property or personal data.

• Mobile security: also known as wireless security functions to conserve laptops, smartphones, and all kinds of portable computing appliances from the threat.
• Network security: this is a rather broader procedure where software and hardware technologies are used to maintain computer networks.
• Application security: security features are put inside the application to make sure that they are free from any cyber-attack.
• Endpoint security: the connectivity of wireless devices such as laptops and phones also maintain risk and is safeguarded by endpoint security.
