Cyber security is the practice of defending computers, servers, mobile devices, electronic systems, networks, and data from digital attacks. It's also known as information technology security or electronic information security. Cybersecurity measures are designed to combat threats against networked systems and applications, whether those threats originate from inside or outside of an organization or those threats that originate from one individual to another. The term applies in a variety of contexts, from business to mobile computing, and can be divided into a few common categories. Cybersecurity is meant to protect against unauthorized access. It also protects digital assets from loss, damage, or destruction. That is referred to as Data Loss Protection (DLP). Personal Cybersecurity addresses the self-needs of an individual. It is applied whether you are at work or at home, or anywhere in between. It involves the protection of personal information, personal devices, and our Personal Area Network (PAN). Effective personal cybersecurity practices require a personal awareness of the environment we are in. By possessing the knowledge and having the necessary resources we can protect our personal devices, our sensitive information, and our lively hood.
