  • Information Security: Safeguarding data from unauthorized access or alterations.

  • Endpoint Security: Securing devices like computers and mobile phones.

  • Application Security: Ensuring software is protected against threats.

  • Cloud Security: Protecting data and systems stored in cloud environments.

  • Identity and Access Management (IAM): Controlling who has access to what resources.

  • Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity: Preparing for and recovering from security incidents.

COMMON THREATS

  • Phishing: (fraudulent attempts to obtain sensitive information)

  • Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks

  • Data breaches

  • Insider threats

Cybersecurity is essential for individuals, businesses, and governments to protect sensitive data, maintain trust, and prevent costly disruptions.
