Cybersecurity and Data breach

Cybersecurity, computer science or information security is basically the protection of computer networks and systems from unauthorized access, theft of data, or manipulation of their services and products. The protection of networks and systems from such attacks are done by a variety of techniques. Some of these techniques are Intrusion Detection System (IDS), where software will determine if intruders have entered the system and tried to gain access or destroy important information. Some of these systems are called network intrusion detection and prevention systems. Intrusion detection systems are usually set up outside of businesses and used by network administrators and IT staff to detect if intruders have intruded into a business’s computer network. In some cases, Intrusion Detection System can be set up inside a business’s computer network to protect company information from hackers.

Another great option for combating the issue of cybersecurity and protecting confidential information is identity theft prevention and defense. Identity theft involves stealing another person’s personal information such as credit card number, social security card number, driver’s license number, or even passwords. Personal information is very precious because personal information is supposed to be kept confidential, only accessible by authorized personnel. Because of this, hackers are able to access companies’ confidential data, steal them and use them for illegal activities such as opening new accounts in your name, opening loans in your name, and using your personal information to file false tax claims in your name.

There are several measures that can be taken to protect yourself against cyber Criminals, but the most important measure to take is to prevent or mitigate data breach. Preventing data breach involves using strong passwords and other security options on all of your important data and making sure that you and your employees understand the risks of storing confidential data online. As an added measure of preventing and protecting your company from cyber criminals, you should also take steps to backup all of your data regularly and securely.
