Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity encompasses technical and organisational measures designed to protect IT systems, networks, applications and data against digital threats. These include malware, phishing, ransomware, DDoS attacks and unauthorised access. Common security measures include firewalls, encryption, access controls, regular security updates, network monitoring, and backup and recovery strategies. Cybersecurity also covers the detection, analysis and response to cyberattacks, rather than focusing solely on prevention. For businesses, a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy is essential for protecting sensitive data and IT infrastructures while reducing security risks and potential downtime. Cybersecurity therefore provides a fundamental basis for secure and reliable IT operations.
