“Cyber Security is also known as Information Technology Security. It protects computer systems and networks from unauthorised access or theft. It includes the prevention of viruses, malware, and other malicious software infecting computers and devices and protecting sensitive data from being accessed or stolen. Cyber Security is essential for businesses of all sizes and individuals who use computers and the internet.

(…) Basically, Cyber Security protects your computer and network from external attacks like viruses and spam wares. Not only your computer but digital devices like mobile phones, tablets and any other digital device connected to the internet or a public network can be attacked or hacked.

Suppose a device is connected to a public network. In that case, it is more likely to get attacked, and the data is at risk of being stolen, as public networks are more vulnerable to cyberattacks because they don't have proper protection.”

“The three main pillars of Cyber Security

• Confidentiality: Confidentiality is all about protecting the data with proper encryption. And ensuring data is only accessed by authorised persons and not others.
• Integrity: Integrity ensures that the data is not tampered with or manipulated at all stages by unauthorised people.
• Availability: Availability ensures data is accessible to the authorised person at the time of need.”
