Cybersecurity Overview
Understanding Threats, Protection,
and Best Practices
What is Cybersecurity?
• Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting
systems, networks, and programs from digital
attacks. These attacks often aim to access,
change, or destroy sensitive information,
extort money, or interrupt normal operations.
Common Cyber Threats
• • Malware (viruses, worms, trojans)
• • Phishing attacks
• • Ransomware
• • Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks
• • Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attacks
• • Zero-day exploits
Key Cybersecurity Measures
• • Firewalls and antivirus software
• • Multi-factor authentication (MFA)
• • Regular software updates
• • Encryption of data
• • Secure network architecture
• • Employee awareness and training
Cybersecurity Best Practices
• • Use strong, unique passwords
• • Be cautious with emails and attachments
• • Regularly back up data
• • Monitor network activity
• • Limit access to sensitive data
• • Keep systems and software up to date
Emerging Trends in Cybersecurity
• • AI and machine learning in threat detection
• • Cloud security solutions
• • Zero Trust architecture
• • Increasing regulation and compliance (GDPR,
HIPAA)
• • Cybersecurity for IoT and mobile devices
Conclusion
• Cybersecurity is critical to protecting personal,
corporate, and national data. Staying informed
and implementing best practices can greatly
reduce the risk of cyber attacks.
