Cybersecurity – Simple and Complete Summary

Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting computers, networks, and data from digital attacks.
These attacks aim to steal information, damage systems, or stop services from working.
Cybersecurity is important for individuals, businesses, and governments.

1. Information Security
Information security focuses on protecting data. It ensures confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
This means that only authorized people can access the data, the data cannot be changed without
permission, and it is available when needed. It protects both digital and physical information.

2. Network Security
Network security protects data during transmission across networks. It prevents unauthorized
access and cyber attacks using tools such as firewalls, antivirus software, and intrusion detection
systems. These tools help stop hackers, viruses, and worms.

3. Cyber Security
Cyber security is a broad field that includes information and network security. It protects
internet-connected systems like computers, smartphones, and servers from online threats such as
malware, phishing, and ransomware.
