Cyber security or IT security is a set of technologies, processes, and practices that are used to protect networks, devices, applications, and data from unauthorized access, infiltration, and loss.
Organizations are transmitting data across networks containing business-sensitive and personal data in the course of doing business. It is imperative to defend the network against cyber-attacks to remain productive, maintain uptime of critical infrastructure and protect brand reputation.
In order to defend from Cyber Espionage, a risk assessment should be made which identifies the organization’s “critical assets,” identifying the threats and risks facing that asset; and outlining the impact an organization would incur should that data be exposed.
