What Is Cyber Security?

Cyber security is the practice of protecting computers, data, mobile devices, servers and networks from cyberattacks, hacks or breaches and other malicious activities conducted on electronic or information technology systems.Cyber security strives to protect the confidentiality and integrity of business’s data and electronic systems. It helps protect all your electronic and virtual assets from internal and external cyber threats and attacks.Executing effective and complete cyber security requires shielding multiple electronic and informational systems in a coordinated manner. These systems may include mobile, cloud computing or data storage and transfer.Following are just some of the categories of cyber security:
