Cybersecurity, or information security, is the practice of protecting computer systems, networks, and digital data from theft, damage, unauthorized access, or other cyber threats. It involves implementing a combination of technologies, processes, and practices designed to safeguard information, ensure data integrity, maintain privacy, and enable the secure operation of computer systems.

Firewalls: Implementing firewalls to control and monitor incoming and outgoing network traffic, blocking or allowing data based on predefined security rules.

Authentication and Authorization: Verifying the identity of users and granting appropriate access permissions based on their roles and responsibilities.

Encryption: Employing encryption techniques to secure sensitive data during storage and transmission.

Educating users and staff about cybersecurity best practices, the risks associated with cyber threats, and how to recognize and respond to potential security incidents.

Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDPS): Monitoring network and/or system activities to identify and respond to potential security threats.

Virtual Private Networks (VPNs): Creating secure and encrypted connections over the internet to protect data during transmission.

Endpoint Protection: Employing security solutions on individual devices (endpoints) such as computers, smartphones, and tablets to prevent and detect malware.

Developing and implementing plans and procedures for responding to security incidents, as well as strategies for recovering from the impact of such incidents.

Establishing and enforcing security policies and procedures to guide the organization in maintaining a secure computing environment.

Implementing a governance framework to ensure that security measures align with business objectives and comply with relevant laws and regulations.

Regularly scanning and assessing systems for vulnerabilities and applying patches and updates to address known security issues.
