What ?
Cyber security is the practice of defending computers, servers, mobile devices,
electronic systems, networks, and data from malicious attacks. It's also known as
information technology security or electronic information security. The term applies in a
variety of contexts, from business to mobile computing, and can be divided into a few
common categories.
· Network security is the practice of securing a computer network from intruders,

whether targeted attackers or opportunistic malware.
· Application security focuses on keeping software and devices free of threats. A

compromised application could provide access to the data it’s designed to protect.
Successful security begins in the design stage, well before a program or device is deployed.
· Information security protects the integrity and privacy of data, both in storage and in
transit.
· Operational security includes the processes and decisions for handling and protecting
data assets. The permissions users have when accessing a network and the procedures that
determine how and where data may be stored or shared all fall under this umbrella.
Types of cyber threats
The threats countered by cyber-security are three-fold:
1. Cybercrime includes single actors or groups targeting systems for financial gain or to
cause disruption.
2. Cyber-attack often involves politically motivated information gathering.
3. Cyber terrorism is intended to undermine electronic systems to cause panic or fear.
When & Where?

Data Encryption
It is a method of securing information by transforming it into a coded format
that can only be deciphered by those with the corresponding decryption key
Zero Trust Security Model

It was coined by Stephen Paul Marsh in 1994 in his doctoral thesis. It means that
every user, device, and system must be continuously authenticated and
authorized before being granted access to resources.
National Institute of Standards and Technology
Released in February 2014 it’s a set of guidelines, best practices, and standards
designed to help organizations manage and improve their cyber security
posture.
General Data Protection Regulation

It's a comprehensive data protection and privacy regulation enacted by the (EU)
in 2018 to safeguard the rights and privacy of individuals.
Why?
1. Individuals, nation’s organizations...:

Cyber security is important because it safeguards individuals and organizations
against cyber-attacks and loss of sensitive and confidential information.
So there's 5 principal reasons proves why cyber security is so important
Protects personal data
For businesses or individual users, personal data is super important. Malware or

we can say bad computer stuff can collect personal information and put
employees, customers, or groups in danger. Cyber security protects data against
internal and external threats, whether it's an accident or on purpose, so
employees can use the internet safely without worrying about cyber-attacks
threats.
Helps preserves reputation
Keeping customers happy and loyal takes years to build for any organization.
But if data gets stolen, the company's reputation gets really hurt. So With a
cyber-security system in place, companies can avoid these sudden problems.
Enhances productivity
Viruses negatively impact productivity and mess up how things work by

affecting networks and how tasks get done, which slows everything down. But if
companies use things like automatic backups and better firewalls, they can
improve their productivity.

Cybercrime is a national security threat
Since the entire world is connected to the internet, it is not surprising that cyber
security is a top priority for a country’s administration on every level. If a
country's online systems aren't protected, other countries or terrorists could
break in and get important databases. They may use this information to harm
infrastructure, damage economic functions, and steal secret government things.
2. Engineers:
The main advantages of working in cyber security number one is salaries yes the
salaries for cyber security are really good even for an entry level roles.
The second advantage is the work itself can be interesting, it's not like the
movies it's not an over glorified where you're setting in a dark room and you're
hacking nations although these roles exist within the army and within
intelligence organizations, however these are the exceptions not the norm.
Usually when you work in cyber security you will work for a professional
company, where there is so much you can do, in cyber security you can be a
penetration tester where you try to break into systems and find any weaknesses
to remediate those weaknesses or you can work for example as a network
security engineer to stop attacks from coming to the company from outside,
you can even be a software security specialist where you are a programmer and
you use your skills to write more secure software, there are so many fields and
literally no end to what you can do with cyber security so it's not just one job
where we all do same things so at the end you can say there is room for
everyone if you're someone who like coding there are jobs that needs that, or if
you don't like programming but you like to work with systems there are also
jobs like that, or even if you're someone who don't even like technology and like
the people aspect of it so you can work as a sales engineer selling security
solutions so the work can be so interesting for everyone if you find what you
really like
And the final advantage is if you're someone who enjoys studying and growing
there is always room to grow no one knows everything in cyber security so if
you're someone who enjoys the process of learning this will be a good career
for you.
How?
Balancing convenience and security in the era of big data requires thoughtful
measures. While harnessing the potential of vast datasets for convenience and
innovation, it's crucial to implement robust security protocols to protect
sensitive information. Striking the right balance involves adopting encryption,
strict access controls, and privacy safeguards without compromising the
usability and benefits of big data analytics.
In our daily life we manage data without knowing for example in the latest
course of programing with c language we talked about structures and unions in
the optic we talked about signals OEM there is an information a data to protect
so how could we do that
As a person or a simple user you can download an antivirus you can also avoid
utilizing all kind of strange links or use one of the following strategies
Encryption to safeguard data bout in transit and at rest this ensures that even if
unauthorized access accurse the data remains unreadable this technic had an
incredible success during the WW2 to send information instructions from the
leader to the soldiers
Access control implement strict access controls granting permissions only to
authorized personnel or quite simple to put a password
Data masking anonymization mask or anonymize sensitive information when it
is possible
Regular updates to keep all software and systems up to date with the latest
security patches to address known vulnerabilities
Regular audits by backup and recovery to your data do not allow the
coincidence or the security vulnerability to existe
