What is Cyber Security

• It is the practice of protecting computer systems, networks, data, and digital


assets from various forms of threats, attacks, and unauthorized access. It is a
critical field in the modern digital age, as the increasing reliance on
technology and the internet has made individuals, businesses, and
governments more vulnerable to cyber threats. Cybersecurity plays a pivotal
role in ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of digital
information and resources.
Key Aspects of
Cybersecurity

• Confidentiality
• Integrity
• Availability
• Authentication and
Authorization
• Protection Against Threats
• Incident Response
• Education and Training CIA Trait
• Compliance and Regulations
Confidentiality

• Confidentiality in the context of cybersecurity refers to the protection of


sensitive information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or exposure. It
is one of the three fundamental principles of information security, along
with integrity and availability, often referred to as the CIA triad
Integrity

• Integrity refers to the concept of ensuring that data and information


remain accurate, trustworthy, and unaltered throughout its lifecycle.
Maintaining data integrity is essential because it helps protect against
unauthorized changes, tampering, or corruption, which could lead to
misinformation, system malfunctions, or security breaches
Availability

• Availability refers to the accessibility and usability of information


technology systems, applications, and data when needed by authorized
users. It is one of the three fundamental principles of information security,
often referred to as the CIA triad (Confidentiality, Integrity, and
Availability). Ensuring availability is critical because disruptions to IT
systems or data can result in downtime, loss of productivity, financial
losses, and potential damage to an organization's reputation
