Cyber Security

Cyber security is the practice of protecting systems, networks, and data from digital attacks. These attacks are often aimed at accessing, changing, or destroying sensitive information, extorting money, or interrupting normal operations.

Why Cyber Security Matters

• Protects Personal Data
  Your name, address, passwords, bank details, and photos — all can be stolen or misused.

• Protects Business Assets
  Companies store customer information, trade secrets, and financial data. A breach can mean big losses.

• Maintains Trust
  Customers expect that their information is safe when using a service or website.

• National Security
  Governments protect infrastructure like power grids and military systems from cyber threats.

Core Areas of Cyber Security

1. Network Security – Protects internal networks from intruders.

2. Application Security – Ensures software is secure from threats.

3. Information Security – Safeguards data integrity and privacy.

4. Cloud Security – Secures data stored online (e.g., Google Drive, AWS).

5. Endpoint Security – Secures devices like computers and phones.

6. Operational Security – Controls who can access what data.

7. Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity – Plans to restore operations after a cyber attack.

 Common Cyber Threats

• Phishing – Fake emails or websites tricking users into giving up data.
