Cyber security is a vast and diverse field, whether you are setting up a firewall or creating a password
policy.
Your actions impacts all levels of an organization from its technicians to and helpdesk to the cyber
security, and also affects every piece of technology, you know, organization, mobile phones, servers
and even devices like industrial control systems.
If failed, this expense expensive and DB can be a little intimidating when you first enter.
It is especially true if you are trying to learn about cyber security without entering the field.
For example, you might be an I.T. department head who wants to learn more so you can better protect
your organization.
So these course start slow, so we will talk about it.
So it was.
Security is and isn't as real as a difference between White Hat and Black Hat hackers.
What is cybersecurity?
As at its core, cybersecurity has one driving purpose to identify cyber threats in an organization
calculated risk to, uh, to to, uh, related to DOS threats and handle those threats are appropriately.
Not every threat that a company experiences is unusual that cyber security deals with directly, for
example, pandemics or physical damage to a building caused by a tornado or food, of course.
In general, cyber security uses.
I see a thread model to determine which traits are under its previous.
Uh, so.
Some experts debate that, uh, merits of adding elements of a traditional trade to contend with the
new technologies or priorities in cybersecurity.
So on, one element of an added is non-repudiation, so which is the idea that when a person or entity
does something, there must be specific evidence tying them to that action.
So it's impossible for them to deny they did it.
Cybersecurity and privacy.
In recent years, there has been an impressive on the relationship between cybersecurity and privacy
in this situation.
Privacy means the rights and abilities of a person to control how information about them is stored,
shared and used.
Although the topic of privacy extends beyond cyber security, Liberty Security still plays a huge role
in ensuring that an individual's data is secured against malicious jewels.
Their security is also responsible for many of the controls that allow a company to audit its data laws,
ensuring that it will use any necessary rules or regulations going forward.
The protection of a user user privacy will likely become an increasingly integral part of the cybersecurity
field.
What cyber security isn't in a field?
As a large cybersecurity, you are bound to encounter a field distorted ideas about its scope to mitigate
these misconceptions.
It's best to discuss what cyber security isn't doing, so will help to find the field and what it actually
means to do cyber security.
First, cybersecurity isn't synonymous with hacking, so the media would have you believe that all cyber
security professionals do is click away at a keyboard trying to break into system.
Although penetration testing the act of attempting to break into a system you are authorized to attack,
such as your own or clients to discover vulnerabilities from an attacker perspective is a part of cybersecurity.
It's part one section of the field.
So able rarity is a flaw in the system, including how it's set up or how people use it.
For example, having an error in a systems code can cause a vulnerability so attackers create exploits
to take advantage of vulnerabilities.
But just because you don't know how to execute and exploit, using a flaw in a comfortable memory doesn't
mean you can't be an expert in setting up and maintaining firewalls.
So this means that you don't need to understand how every hacking tool works or exactly what the latest
exploit does to contribute to the cybersecurity industry.
Second, cybersecurity isn't such an flipping.
So some people use the term such sleeping to describe what they think.
System engineers or other I.T. professionals do, they just flip switches or configure systems without
understanding the underlying processes that make the system work?
It's true that configuring a system to be secure is vitally important to cybersecurity, but securing
a system can't necessarily be done by following a checklist.
It requires looking at the entire system, noting how every component interacts importantly with the
other components, but also with the other systems to fully understand how to secure a system.
In addition, professionals need deliberation and critical thinking skills to know how to secure a system
in situations where it's impossible to apply best practices.
Third, the cybersecurity doesn't only require technical skills.
Just as important as technical knowledge is the ability to translate that information to tips and resources
that everyone can understand them professionals give presentations or write reports.
Typekit security professionals work with every department in an organization, which means their interpersonal
communication skills are essential.
The only way you or your organization will become more secure is if everyone understands their role
in maintaining security, which means you must communicate that role effectively.
