Types of Cyber Security

  • Network security: The process of protecting the network from unwanted users, attacks and intrusions.
  • Application security: Apps require constant updates and testing to ensure these programs are secure from attacks.

  • Endpoint security : Remote access is a necessary part of business, but can also be a weak point for data. Endpoint security is the process of protecting remote access to a company’s network.

  1. Data security :  Inside of networks and applications is data. Protecting company and customer information is a separate layer of security.

  • Identity management: Essentially, this is a process of understanding the access every individual has in an organization.

  • Database and infrastructure security: Everything in a network involves databases and physical equipment. Protecting these devices is equally important.
  • Cloud security: Many files are in digital environments or “the cloud”. Protecting data in a 100% online environment presents a large amount of challenges.
  • Mobile security: Cell phones and tablets involve virtually every type of security challenge in and of themselves.
  • Disaster recovery/business continuity planning: In the event of a breach, natural disaster or other event data must be protected and business must go on. 
  • End-user education:
  • Users may be employees accessing the network or customers logging on to a company app.
  • Educating good habits (password changes, 2-factor authentication, etc.) is an important part of cybersecurity.
