Cybersecurity Basics for Beginners
Many firms were forced to close their doors and many others went out of business as a result of attackers hacking their networks and bringing their systems to a halt. With more organizations coming online every day, it has become increasingly more critical to assist them in securing their boundaries and assets before criminals take advantage of their vulnerabilities. Businesses are becoming more aware of the benefits that cybersecurity may provide and are signing up for the services.
Now this brings us to a question. What is cybersecurity?
Cybersecurity is the process or practice of protecting computer systems, network devices, and data from cyber-attacks. It is also referred to as computer security and information security.
The majority of people confuse cyber security with hacking and penetration testing, which are actually two different things. Cybersecurity is a large and diversified topic, and there are many more career options available in the cybersecurity business than you may think.
Some of them are:
- Chief Information Security Officer
- Security Analyst
- Incident Responder
- Penetration Tester
- Security Architect
- Security Specialist/Consultant
