Security :
Security is a fundamental need that ensures
our well-being and protects us from harm.
It encompasses safeguarding our personal
information, data, devices, and overall
digital presence from various threats and
vulnerabilities.
 INTRODUCTION OF CYBERSECURITY

• Cyber Security is a process that's designed to protect networks and devices from external
threats. Businesses typically employ Cyber Security professionals to protect their confidential
information, maintain employee productivity, and enhance customer confidence in products
and services.
 DEFINITION OF CYBERSECURITY:
• Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting systems, networks, and
programs from digital attacks. These cyberattacks are usually
aimed at accessing, changing, or destroying sensitive information;
extorting money from users via ransomware; or interrupting
normal business processes.
 HISTORY OF CYBER SECURITY:
The Creeper in the 1970s:
The Cybersecurity checking began in the 1970s when researcher Bob
Thomas created a computer program called Creeper that could move
across ARPANET's network. Ray Tomlinson, the innovator of email,
wrote the program Reaper, which chased and deleted Creepers.

GOALS OF CYBERSECURITY

 Confidentiality:

 Integrity

 Availability
GOALS OF CYBERSECURITY
 Confidentiality:
•Protection of Data: Confidentiality involves keeping sensitive information private
and protected from unauthorized access. It ensures that only authorized individuals or
entities can access and view certain data.

•Encryption: Data encryption is a common method used to maintain confidentiality. It

transforms data into a coded format that can only be deciphered by individuals with
the proper decryption keys.
 GOALS OF CYBERSECURITY

 Integrity:
Data Integrity: Integrity ensures that data remains
accurate and unaltered during storage, processing, and
transmission. Any unauthorized or accidental changes to
data should be detected and prevented.
 GOALS OF CYBERSECURITY

 Availability:
Availability focuses on ensuring that
systems and services are available and
operational when needed. Downtime due to
cyberattacks or system failures can lead to
significant disruptions.
 IMPORTANCE OF CYBERSECURITY

• Protection from Cyber Threats

• Data Protection
• Business Continuity
• Financial Protection
• Protection of Intellectual Property
• Preservation of Trust
• Global Economy and National Security
 CONCLUSION

Cybersecurity is critical because it helps to protect

organizations and individuals from cyber attacks.
Cybersecurity can help to prevent data breaches, identity
theft, and other types of cybercrime. Organizations must
have strong cybersecurity measures to protect their data
and customers.
