Introduction to
Cyber Security
Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting digital
systems, networks, and data from unauthorized access,
theft, or damage. It encompasses a wide range of
technologies, processes, and best practices designed to
safeguard organizations and individuals in the digital age.
Cyber Threats and
Vulnerabilities
1 Malware
Malicious software designed to infiltrate, damage, or
gain unauthorized access to computer systems.
2 Phishing
Fraudulent attempts to obtain sensitive information or
credentials through deceptive communication.
3 Unpatched Vulnerabilities
Software flaws that can be exploited by attackers to
gain access or disrupt systems.
Cybersecurity Frameworks and
Standards

for managing cyber risk.
Network Security
Fundamentals
1 Firewalls
Hardware or software that controls and monitors
incoming and outgoing network traffic.
2 Intrusion Detection and Prevention
Systems that monitor networks for suspicious activity and
take action to prevent attacks.
3 Encryption and VPNs
Techniques to secure data in transit and provide secure
remote access to networks.
Identity and Access Management
Authentication
Verifying the identity of users, devices, or systems before granting access.
Authorization
Controlling and managing the permissions and privileges of authenticated entities.
Multi-Factor Authentication
Requiring multiple forms of identification to enhance the security of access control.
Single Sign-On
Allowing users to access multiple applications with a single set of credentials.
Incident Response and Disaster
Recovery
Preparation
Developing comprehensive plans and procedures to respond to security
incidents.
Detection and Analysis
Identifying, investigating, and understanding the scope and impact of an
incident.
Containment and Eradication
Stopping the immediate damage and eliminating the root cause of the
incident.
Recovery and Lessons Learned
Restoring normal operations and implementing improvements based on the
experience.
Emerging Trends in Cybersecurity
Cloud Security
Protecting data and applications in cloud computing environments.
IoT Security
Safeguarding the growing number of connected devices and smart systems.
AI-Powered Security
Leveraging machine learning and artificial intelligence for threat detection and response.
Quantum Computing Security
