The practice of securing systems, networks, and programs from digital threats is known as cybersecurity. These cyberattacks are typically aimed at gaining access to, altering, or destroying sensitive data, extorting money from users, or disrupting normal corporate activities.

The practice of securing systems, networks, and programs from digital threats is known as cybersecurity. These cyberattacks are typically aimed at gaining access to, altering, or destroying sensitive data, extorting money from users, or disrupting normal corporate activities.

Because there are more devices than humans nowadays, and attackers are growing more inventive, putting in place effective cybersecurity measures is very difficult.

 

This Cyber Security Course will teach you how to become an expert in Cyber Security.

 

What is cybersecurity all about?

Multiple layers of protection are dispersed across the computers, networks, programs, and data that one wants to keep safe in a good cybersecurity strategy. To establish a successful defense against cyber threats, an organization's people, processes, and technology must all complement one another. A unified threat management solution can streamline core security operations processes including as detection, investigation, and remediation by automating integrations across certain Cisco Security products.

People

Basic data security practices such as choosing strong passwords, being aware of attachments in email, and backing up data must all be understood and followed by users. Learn more about the fundamentals of cybersecurity.

Processes

Organizations need a plan in place for dealing with both attempted and successful cyber-attacks. You can follow one well-respected framework. It describes how to detect and respond to threats, as well as recover from successful attacks. View a video showing the NIST cybersecurity framework in action (1:54)
