    Cyber security involves protecting information from unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction in order to maintain confidentiality, integrity, and availability. It is crucial because as the world becomes more connected through technology, cyber threats are also increasing. Cyber security objectives include ensuring information is only available to authorized individuals, has not been altered without permission, and can be accessed when needed. Government agencies work to secure cyberspace and respond to cyber attacks, which are malicious attempts using digital means to cause harm, steal property or data, or alter information without approval. Common cyber security problems include viruses, hackers, malware, Trojan horses, and password cracking.

    Cyber security

    What is Cybersecurity?
     The term cyber security is used to refer to the security
    offered through on-line services to protect your online
    information.
     Cyber Security and Information Security differs only in its
    response and Reduction/Prevention.
     Cyber security encompasses all aspects of security viz.,
    Physical, Technical, Environmental, Regulations and
    Compliance including Third Parties involved in delivering
    an objective
     With an increasing amount of people getting connected to
    Internet, the security threats that cause massive harm
    are increasing also
    Why Cybersecurity Is Important ?
    • Our world today is ruled by technology and we can’t
    do without it at all. From booking our flight tickets, to
    catching up with an old friend, technology plays an
    important role in it.
    • However, the same technology may expose you when
    it’s vulnerable and could lead to loss of essential
    data. Cyber security, alongside physical commercial
    security has thus, slowly and steadily, become one of
    the most important topics in the business industry to
    be talked about.
    • Cyber security is necessary since it helps in securing
    data from threats such as data theft or misuse, also
    safeguards your system from viruses.
    Why Cybersecurity is Important?
     Cyber security becomes important as Business
    are being carried now on Network of Networks.
    Computer networks have always been the
    target of criminals, and it is likely that the
    danger of cyber security breaches will only
    increase in the future as these networks
    expand, but there are sensible precautions
    that organizations can take to minimize losses
    from those who seek to do harm.
    Cyber Security Objectives
    Confidentiality
     the property that information is not
    made available or disclosed to
    unauthorized individuals, entities, or
    processes
    Confidentiality

     Confidentiality refers to protecting information


    from being accessed by unauthorized parties.
    In other words, only the people who are
    authorized to do so can gain access to
    sensitive data.
     A failure to maintain confidentiality means that
    someone who shouldn't have access has
    managed to get it, through intentional
    behavior or by accident. Such a failure of
    confidentiality, commonly known as a breach
    Integrity
    the property of safeguarding the accuracy
    and completeness of assets
    Integrity
     Integrity refers to ensuring the authenticity of
    information—that information is not altered,
    and that the source of the information is
    genuine.
     Imagine that you have a website and you sell
    products on that site. Now imagine that an
    attacker can shop on your web site and
    maliciously alter the prices of your products,
    so that they can buy anything for whatever
    price they choose. That would be a failure of
    integrity, because your information—in this
    case, the price of a product—has been altered
    and you didn't authorize this alteration
    Availability
     The property of being accessible and
    usable upon demand by an authorized
    entity
    Availability
     Availability means that information is
    accessible by authorized users.
     Information and other critical assets are
    accessible to customers and the
    business when needed. Note,
    information is unavailable not only when
    it is lost or destroyed, but also when
    access to the information is denied or
    delayed
    Cyberspace as a Battleground?
    Each day, there is an increase in the number of threats
    against our nation's critical infrastructures.
    These threats come in the form of computer intrusion
    (hacking), denial of service attacks, and virus
    deployment.
    In India DEITY-Dept., of Electronics & Information
    Technology operating under MCIT-Ministry of
    Communication & Information Technology is responsible
    for Cyberspace security other than delivering Govt.,
    services online and promoting the IT Sector.
    The National Information Board (NIB) a policy making
    body for cyber security operates independently and
    is chaired by National Security Advisor (NSA)
    CERT-In performs emergency cyber security functions and
    releases annual reports on security incidents
    Cyber attack
    A malicious attempt, using digital
    technologies, to cause personal or
    loss or damage, and/or steal or property
    alter confidential personal or organizational
    data
    Major security problems
     Virus
     Hacker
     Malware
     Trojan horses
     Password cracking
