Every organization is responsible for ensuring cyber security . The ability to protect its information systems from impairment or even theft is essential to success. Implementing effective security measures will not only offer liability protection; it will also increase efficiency and productivity.

Before developing and implementing security measures to prevent cyberattacks, you must understand basic concepts associated with cyber security and what cyberattacks are. The method(s) of cyber security that a company uses should be tailored to fit the needs of the organization.

”Malware” is the shortened form for malicious software, which is intrusive software, used to perform actions such as interrupting computer operations and obtaining sensitive information. Acquiring access to private computer systems and brandishing unsolicited advertising are also characteristic of Malware.

Cyber security breaches are the result of secure information being released to a treacherous environment. Whether the data is released intentionally or unintentionally, the consequences can have long-lasting effects, from harassment to identity theft.

Cyber attacks are orchestrated by individuals or groups to destroy the information systems, networks, etc. of others. From installing Spyware on a computer to obliterating a company’s entire infrastructure, cyber-attacks can have devastating effects on many.
