Cyber Security

Cyber security can be defined as the science and practice of protecting computer systems, networks, software and data from malicious attacks, data leaks and other digital threats. Today, cybersecurity has become an important issue facing individuals, organizations and governments. Here are some key concepts and issues related to cybersecurity:

1. Cyber Threats: Cybersecurity combats a variety of threats posed by hackers, malware developers, ransomware operators and other malicious actors. These threats include risks such as data leaks, phishing attacks, ransomware, DDoS attacks (Denial of Service Attacks), insider threats.

2. Basic Safety Principles:

   • Confidentiality: Sensitive data is only accessible to authorized persons.

   • Integrity: Maintaining the accuracy and integrity of data.

   • Accessibility: Secure access to systems by authorized users.

   • Authentication and Authorization: Authenticating users and granting access only when they have the necessary authorization.

3. Cyber Security Technologies and Tools:

   • Firewalls: Controls network traffic and blocks malicious traffic.

   • Antivirus and Antimalware Software: Protects computer systems from malicious software.

   • Encryption Technologies: Encryption of data to ensure the security of data.

   • Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDS/IPS): Preventing attacks by detecting abnormal activity on the network.

   • Security Information and Event Management (SIEM): Identifying and responding to potential security incidents by analyzing daily data.

4. Cyber Security Strategies:

   • Defense Layers: Reducing security risks by using multiple layers of defense.

   • Awareness and Education: Educating and raising awareness of users on security issues.

   • Security Policies: Establishing and implementing security policies within the organization.

   • Incident Response Plan: Being prepared to respond quickly to security breaches.

5. Legal and Ethical Issues: Cybersecurity is an area that needs to be managed within the framework of legal regulations (such as GDPR) and ethical standards. Issues such as data privacy, users' rights, and processes for responding to security breaches are important.

Cybersecurity is a constantly evolving field and must constantly adapt as technology advances and the complexity of threats increases. Therefore, organizations should invest in cybersecurity, continuously update their security measures and continue to train their employees on security issues.
