What is Cybersecurity?
Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting computers, servers, mobile devices, electronic systems, networks, and data from digital attacks. It’s your business’s shield in the online world.
Common Cybersecurity Threats:
- Malware: Malicious software that can harm your computer or steal data. This includes viruses, worms, and ransomware.
- Phishing: Fraudulent attempts, often via email, to steal sensitive information by posing as a trustworthy entity.
- Man-in-the-Middle Attack: When a hacker secretly intercepts and possibly alters communication between two parties who believe they’re directly communicating with each other.
- Denial-of-Service Attack: An attempt to make a machine or network resource unavailable by overwhelming it with traffic, disrupting normal operations.
Why Cybersecurity Matters
Venturing alone is risky business. Here’s what’s at stake:
- Your reputation (it takes years to build, seconds to destroy)
- Your clients’ trust (once lost, nearly impossible to regain)
- Your hard-earned profits (cyber attacks can be financially devastating)
Essential Cybersecurity Measures:
- Use strong, unique passwords and consider using a password manager
- Keep software updated regularly
