Mastering Cyber-Security Techniques; Hedging against Cyber Attacks

Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting computer systems, networks, and data from unauthorized access, theft, or damage. It involves implementing various measures, like firewalls, encryption, and authentication protocols, to safeguard against cyber threats and ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information. It is the practice of protecting systems, networks, and programs from digital attacks. These cyberattacks are usually aimed at accessing, changing, or destroying sensitive information; extorting money from users; or interrupting normal business processes.

The course consists of various modules and will cover fundamentals, such as IT versus ICS, threats and their sources, authentication, computer access control, cryptography, network security, network firewall concepts, intrusion detection. The participants will get a comprehensive view on security in the cyber space.

The 6 types of cybersecurity measures discussed in this article- network security, application security, information security, cloud security, IoT security, and identity & access management– can help protect organizations and individuals from cyber-attacks.
