    Abstract
    This project explores the critical role of cyber security in
    safeguarding personal data in an increasingly digital
    world. With the proliferation of online activities, personal
    information has become more vulnerable to unauthorized
    access, theft, and misuse. This report aims to outline the
    fundamental aspects of cyber security, including its key
    features, working mechanisms, and current applications.
    Through an examination of real-world examples, the
    project highlights how organizations leverage cyber
    security measures to protect sensitive information. It also
    discusses the advantages and disadvantages of cyber
    security practices, along with the challenges and
    limitations faced in implementation. Ultimately, the
    findings underscore the significance of robust cyber
    security strategies in maintaining privacy and trust in
    digital environments.
    Introduction
    ▪ What is Cyber Security?
    Cyber security encompasses the practices, technologies, and
    processes designed to protect networks, devices, and data from
    unauthorized access or damage. As digital landscapes expand,
    cyber security has become crucial for individuals and
    organizations alike.
    ▪ Importance of Cyber Security
    In today’s interconnected world, where personal data is
    routinely shared online, the importance of cyber security cannot
    be overstated. Data breaches can lead to financial loss, identity
    theft, and erosion of trust. Effective cyber security measures are
    essential to protect sensitive information and maintain privacy.
    Objectives of the Report
    • To explore the working mechanisms and components of cyber
    security systems.
    • To analyze current applications and their implications for personal
    data protection.
    • To identify the advantages and disadvantages of existing cyber
    security measures.
    • To discuss the challenges faced by organizations in implementing
    effective cyber security strategies.
    Background and Overview of Cyber Security
    • History
    The field of cyber security has evolved significantly since
    the advent of computers and the internet. Early efforts
    focused on basic protective measures, but with the rise of
    sophisticated cyber threats, a more structured approach
    emerged in the 1990s.
    • Basic Concepts
    Key concepts in cyber security include encryption,
    firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and security
    protocols. Understanding these fundamentals is essential
    for developing effective defense strategies against cyber
    threats.
    • Key Features
    The main features of cyber security include
    confidentiality, integrity, availability, authentication, and
    non-repudiation. These principles guide the development
    of security policies and practices aimed at protecting
    personal data.
    Working Mechanism
    ➢How Does It Work?
    Cyber security works through a multi-layered approach
    that includes preventive measures, detection systems,
    and response strategies to mitigate risks.
    ➢ Components
    Key components of cyber security include:
    • Hardware: Firewalls, routers, and security
    appliances.
    • Software: Anti-virus programs, encryption tools, and
    security monitoring applications.
    • Algorithms: Cryptographic methods for data
    protection.
