Importance of Cyber Security
In today's interconnected world, cybersecurity is paramount for
individuals and organizations alike. It safeguards sensitive data,
ensures operational continuity, protects financial assets, and
maintains public trust.

individuals and organizations. Understanding
common cyber threats is crucial for building effective
defenses.

How cyber security works ?
• Enabling two-factor authentication for added account
2-Way Authentication security.
Secure Passwords • Using strong, unique passwords for each account.
•
Regular Updates Keeping software and operating systems up-to-date to
patch vulnerabilities.
•
Antivirus Employing antivirus software to detect and remove
malware.
Firewall • Using a firewall to block unauthorized network access.
•
No Phishing Recognizing and avoiding phishing attempts like
suspicious emails.
• Implementing encryption methods to protect data
Cryptography (encryption) confidentiality.
•
Secure DNS Utilizing a secure DNS service to prevent DNS spoofing
and protect privacy.
Network Security Strategies
Securing your network infrastructure is essential to protect your data and systems from cyberattacks. Implementing a multi-layered approach strengthen
1 Firewalls
Firewalls act as barriers between your network and the external world, blocking unauthorized access and malicious traffic.
2 Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS)
IDS monitor network traffic for suspicious activity and alert administrators to potential threats.
3 Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS)
IPS go beyond detection and take active steps to block malicious traffic and prevent attacks.
4 Virtual Private Networks (VPNs)
VPNs create a secure and encrypted connection over a public network, protecting data transmitted between devices.
5 Network Segmentation
Dividing a network into smaller segments can limit the impact of a breach, preventing attackers from gaining access to sensitive data.
Access Control and Identity Management
Access control and identity management are crucial for ensuring that only authorized users can access sensitive da
Authentication
Verifies the identity of users before granting access to systems and resources.
Authorization
Determines which actions a user is allowed to perform within a system or network.
Account Management
Encompasses the creation, modification, and termination of user accounts, ensuring proper access levels an
Password Policies
Establish rules for creating strong passwords, ensuring their complexity and regular rotation.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Requires users to provide multiple forms of identification, such as a password and a security token, to gain
