What is cyber security ?

 

Cyber security refers to all aspects of protecting an organization, its people, and its assets from cyber threats. With cyberattacks becoming more common and sophisticated and business networks becoming more complex, it is necessary for various cyber security measures to reduce business cybersecurity risks.

 

Different types of cybersecurity

 

Cybersecurity is a broad field that spans many disciplines. It can be divided into seven main pillars:

1. Network security

Many attacks occur on networks and network security solutions are designed to detect and prevent these attacks. These solutions include access and data management such as data loss prevention (DLP), identity and access management (IAM), network access control (NAC), and NGFW (next generation firewall) application management to enable web usage policies. something.

Advanced, multi-layered network security technologies include IPS (Intrusion Prevention System), NGAV (Next-Gen Antivirus), Sandboxing, and CDR (Content Transfer and Reconstruction). Network analysis, threat hunting, and automated SOAR (Security Orchestration and Response) technologies are also important.

2. Cloud storage

As companies develop the cloud, securing the cloud becomes a top priority. A cloud security strategy includes cybersecurity solutions, controls, policies, and services that help protect cloud assets (applications, data, infrastructure, etc.) from attacks. While many cloud providers offer security solutions, these are not enough to ensure enterprise-grade security in the cloud. Additional, integrated solutions are needed to protect against data breaches and targeted attacks in cloud environments.

 

 3. End protection

The Zero Trust security model mandates the creation of a secure environment around data wherever it resides. One way to achieve this with mobile users is through endpoint security. With endpoint security, businesses can protect end-user devices, such as computers and laptops, with data and network security management, advanced threat prevention, such as anti-phishing and anti-ransomware, and technology that provides forensics, such as endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions.

4. Mobile security

Often overlooked, mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones have access to corporate data, exposing businesses to threats from malware, zero-day attacks, phishing and instant messaging. Phone Security prevents these attacks and protects the operating system and device from rooting and jailbreaking. When integrated with a Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution, it allows businesses to ensure that only supported mobile devices have access to corporate resources.
