Cybersecurity, also known as “IT security” or “Computer security” is information security applied to computing devices such as servers, computers and mobile devices (as smartphones, tablets), etc., as well as computer networks such as private and public networks, including the whole Internet.
Network outages, data compromised by hackers, social attacks, computer viruses and other security incidents could affect our lives in ways that range from inconvenient to life-threatening. As the number of mobile users and devices, web applications and data networks increase, so do the opportunities for exploitation.
The 3 principles of Information, confidentiality, integrity and disponibility are protected by Cybersecurity.
People is often the weak link in the chain in IT Security. The best technical security efforts will fail if their company has a weak security culture. Companies which want to have a correct IT Security Awareness need to develop a plan to do the rollout of trainning about this awareness.
