Cyber security encompasses a range of technologies and programs designed to provide data protection, deny access to unauthorized third-party devices, search for vulnerabilities within cyber security systems, scan for potential threats, and more. Each type of cyber security works differently, but they share the same end goal – maintaining the vital functions by eliminating threats to the systems they were designed to protect.
Infrastructure security encrypts critical files, builds robust firewalls, and preserves communication lines
Introducing passwords, user identification, and fingerprint scanners are in the domain of information security
Analyzing access points, developing and utilizing antivirus programs, and controlling access are network security measures.
Ethical hacking, or pen-testing, in all of its forms, is an example of application security
Internet of Things cyber security prevents Denial of Service attacks, fends off botnets, and shields against firmware attacks.
