Cyber Security

  How is automation used in cybersecurity? Automation has become an integral component to keep companies protected from the growing number and sophistication of cyberthreats. Using artificial intelligence ( AI ) and  machine learning  in areas with high-volume data streams can help improve cybersecurity in three main categories: Threat detection. AI platforms can analyze data and recognize known threats, as well as predict novel threats. Threat response. AI platforms also create and automatically enact security protections. Human augmentation. Security pros are often overloaded with alerts and repetitive tasks. AI can help eliminate alert fatigue by automatically triaging low-risk alarms and automating big data analysis and other repetitive tasks, freeing humans for more sophisticate d tasks. Other benefits of automation in cybersecurity include attack classification, malware classification, traffic analysis, compliance analysis and more.

  Why is cybersecurity important? With an increasing number of users, devices and programs in the modern enterprise, combined with the increased deluge of data -- much of which is sensitive or confidential -- the importance of cybersecurity continues to grow. The growing volume and sophistication of cyber attackers and attack techniques compound the problem even further. What are the elements of cybersecurity and how does it work? The cybersecurity field can be broken down into several different sections, the coordination of which within the organization is crucial to the success of a cybersecurity program. These sections include the following: Application security information or data security Network security disaster recovery /business continuity planning Operational security Cloud security Critical infrastructure security Physical security End-user education Maintaining cybersecurity in a constantly evolving threat landscape is a challenge for all organizations. Traditional...

  What are some of the cyber security sub-domains? Application Security: Application security  involves implementing various defenses within all software and services used within an organization against a wide range of threats. It requires designing secure application architectures, writing secure code, implementing strong data input validation, threat modeling, etc. to minimize the likelihood of any unauthorized access or modification of application resources.  Identity Management and Data Security: Identity management includes frameworks, processes, and activities that enables authentication and authorization of legitimate individuals to information systems within an organization. Data security involves implementing strong information storage mechanisms that ensure security of data at rest and in transit. Network Security: Network security involves implementing both hardware and software mechanisms to protect the network and infrastructure from unauthorized access, disr...

What is cyber security? Cyber security can be described as the collective methods, technologies, and processes to help protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of computer systems, networks and data, against cyber-attacks or unauthorized access. The main purpose of cyber security is to protect all organizational assets from both external and internal threats as well as disruptions caused due to natural disasters. As organizational assets are made up of multiple disparate systems, an effective and efficient cyber security posture requires coordinated efforts across all its information systems. Therefore, cyber security is made up of the following sub-domains.
