Nowadays cyber security has become more important than ever. People face a lot of security incidents or potential vulnerability issues from startups and small companies. You are lucky as we know how to prevent and protect your business against hackers, breaches, and data exposures. Begin establishing security to your organisation with awareness.

What is a Cyber Threat?

First of all, we need to get to know what a cyber threat is. A cyber-treat is an act carried out by hackers to illegally enter into your working systems to corrupt or steal your data, passwords, or other confidential information. A cyber threat might be an intentional breach of a computer in your system to launch any malicious software or use it as a launch point for other attacks. This is the main reason why your systems or work environment requires a tailored cybersecurity strategy.

TYPES OF THREATS

There are three principal cyber threats encountered by cybersecurity.

• Cybercrimes target and threat systems to financially benefit themselves
• Cyber-attacks are usually motivated to gather confidential information
• Cyberterrorism targets weakening a particular organization standard to cause fear and threaten the users to extract data or for other financial gains

Malware, virus, spyware, ransomware, adware, botnets, etc. are very few different types of acts or methods posed by a hacker. This list goes on and on, every new threat discovery adds to the list.

WHAT IS CYBER SECURITY?

A cyber security application is the defence mechanism used by systems, computers, servers, mobile devices, and networks, against any type of malicious and unauthorised threats.

HOW DOES CYBERSECURITY WORK?

Cyber security provides multiple protection layers to all the electronic devices of an organization’s system. This application leverages cryptographic protocols to encrypt data and protect them during transits.

TYPES OF CYBER SECURITY

Application Security

The establishment of multiple defences within corporate software and services to safeguard against a variety of threats is known as application security. This sort of cyber security necessitates the development of secure apps to reduce illegal access and modification. A hacked program may provide access to the data it is supposed to secure.

Information or Data Security

Data integrity and privacy are protected by information security, both in storage and in transit. It is Implemented by robust data storage systems that are specially designed to safeguard information.

Operational Security

The methods and decisions for handling and securing digital assets are included in operational security. This includes the rights that users have when connecting to a network as well as the protocols that govern how and where data may be kept or shared.

Network Security

The focus of network security is to protect a business computer network from both external and internal threats, intruders, targeted attackers or opportunistic malware by using hardware and software systems that have been designed to prevent abuse, disruption and unauthorized access to a business network and infrastructure.

Mobile Security

Mobile devices such as cell phones, laptops and tablets that are used by companies should use mobile security measures to safeguard information held on those devices.

Cloud Security

Cloud applications and system such as AWS, Google, Microsoft, etc. use cloud security measures to protect users against various cyber threats.

Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity

Catastrophic rehabilitation and business continuity explain how an organization responds to an incidence of cyber security or other event causing loss of business or data. Disaster recuperation policies determine how the company returns its functions and data to the same operational capability as before the incident. Business continuity means that when trying to work without certain resources, the company reverts to its strategy.

End-user Education

The most unexpected component for cyber security is end-user education: the people. By failing to follow appropriate safety measures, anybody may incidentally introduce a virus into an otherwise safe system. Teaching users to delete suspect email connections, not plug into unrecognized USB devices and several other crucial lessons are essential for the safety of every company.
