Use agile practices to break work into smaller, manageable tasks.

Corporations that lack efficient security measures to help manage these changes, face breaching of trust from their customers, stakeholders, and the marketplace while subjecting themselves to ever-increasing risk.

What is Cyber Security?

In the world of the internet, our lives are more dependent on on-line practice such as shopping, banking, and socializing. Due to this we face more aspects in risk of cybercrime. Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting digital systems, networks, and data from unauthorized access, theft, and damage. It involves implementing measures to prevent cyber threats such as hacking, malware, and data breaches.

By following few categories, Organizations can implement comprehensive cybersecurity strategies to safeguard their system, networks, and data from potential threats.

1. Network security: Focus on securing computer networks and preventing unauthorized access, including measures like firewalls, intrusion detection system, and virtual private networks (VPNs).
2. Application Security: Involves protecting software applications from vulnerabilities and ensuring secure coding practices to prevent attacks like SQL injections and cross-site scripting.
3. Data Security: Includes protecting sensitive data from unauthorized access or disclosure through encryption, access controls, and secure data storage.
4. Incident Response: Involves responding to and mitigating the impact of security incidents, such as malware infections, data breaches, or system compromises.
5. Cloud Security: Focuses on securing cloud-based services and infrastructure, ensuring data protection, identity management, and access controls.
6. Mobile Security: Addresses the security risks associated with mobile devices, including secure app development, device management, and data protection on mobile platforms.

Most common cyberattacks:

1. Phishing: A fraudulent attempt to obtain sensitive information, such as passwords or credit card details, by disguising as a trustworthy entity through emails, messages, or websites.
2. Malware: Malicious software designed to damage or gain unauthorized access to computer systems, including viruses, ransomware, and spyware.
3. Denial of Service (DoS) Attacks: Overwhelm a target’s system or network, rendering it inaccessible to legitimate users.
4. Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks: Intercept communication between two parties to eavesdrop, alter, or steal information.
5. SQL Injection: Exploit vulnerabilities in web applications to manipulate databases and gain unauthorized access to sensitive data.
6. Social Engineering: Manipulate individuals to divulge confidential information or perform actions that compromise security.
7. Zero-day Attacks: Exploit unknown vulnerabilities before they are patched, allowing attackers to gain unauthorized access or control.

Understanding these common cyber-attacks can help individuals and organizations take appropriate measures to protect their digital systems and data.

Firewall:

An external network, such as the internet, and a trusted internal network are separated by a firewall, a network security device. According to predetermined security rules, it keeps track of and regulates both incoming and outgoing network traffic. Firewalls help defend networks and systems from online threats and intrusions by filtering and blocking unauthorized access and potentially harmful data.

Application Security:

Application security is the process of defending software programmers against threats, vulnerabilities, and unauthorized access. To identify and address potential risks, it entails putting security measures in place during the development, testing, and deployment phases. Practices like secure coding, vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, and access controls are all part of application security. Organizations can protect sensitive data, avoid unauthorized access, and uphold the integrity and availability of their software systems by making sure that applications are secure.

Incident Management:

The process of locating, responding to, and resolving security incidents is referred to as incident management. Following established protocols and procedures, it entails handling and minimizing the effects of security breaches, such as cyberattacks or data breaches, in order to restore normal operations and minimize damage.

Cloud Security:

Data, applications, and infrastructure stored in cloud environments must be secured. It emphasizes protecting the privacy, availability, and integrity of cloud-based resources, reducing risks, and putting in place the necessary security precautions to stop unauthorized access and data breaches.

Zero-trust Security:

A zero-trust security strategy requires verification for each access request and makes no assumptions about the network’s inherent trust. To prevent unauthorized access and reduce the risk of data breaches, it places a strong emphasis on identity verification, access control, and ongoing monitoring.
