Cyber Security

Cyber Security Awareness

Cyber security is, most simply, any protection used to prevent cyber attacks. In the practical sense, cyber security is a combination of technology (hardware and software), processes, and people working together to prevent attacks related to data, processes, or financial extortion.

Cyber criminals are eager to get their hands on sensitive data (to view, change, or destroy it), interrupt a business’ normal processes, or extort money from private individuals or businesses.

Therefore, cyber security uses multiple layers of protection across all vulnerable areas to keep people and their data safe. This applies to consumers, businesses, and governments.

Cyber security is extremely important in our interconnected world. Almost every aspect of our lives is found online or on our devices, and that presents a huge opportunity for cyber criminals to attack us.

For consumers, good cyber security will most importantly help prevent financial losses. This can be either directly, as when criminals demand ransoms for sensitive information, or via identity theft, where credit card or other personal information is stolen and used to buy things, take out loans, apply for credit cards, etc. It can also prevent sensitive data leaks, such as the 2014 iCloud celebrity leak.

For businesses, cyber security can be quite devastating. Cyber-attacks last year were estimated to affect 54% of companies.
