The significance of cybersecurity cannot be overemphasized. Information security has been a big concern ever since computers were invented. According to a recent
Forbes article,
Cybersecurity Ventures expects that there will be a new cybersecurity attack every two seconds. This amounts to more than 43 thousand attacks per day and almost 16 million attacks per year.
Cybersecurity Ventures also estimate the cost of Ransomware to reach $265 Billion by 2031.
An effective cybersecurity approach ensures that authorized users have secure access to information. This is achieved by applying proven IT security principles and standards. Information security practices vary and come in numerous shapes and forms. They cover various areas from identity management and access control to data encryption, deploying network security devices such as firewalls, and more.
