Basic Concepts of Cybersecurity
摘要
In a nutshell, cybersecurity is the protection of information assets from harm. Information assets can be devices, applications, networks, data and even users. With the migration of most business processes to digital online platforms, all these information assets become exposed to potential cyber threats from anywhere. The numerous high-profile attacks being reported in the press clearly demonstrate how cyberthreats cause serious material impacts that organization struggle to prevent and deal with. For this reason, cybersecurity has become a critical concern for the global economy, for politics and national security, for organizations as well as for individuals. While cybersecurity has traditionally been a technological discipline only, mature cyber governance is now seen as a critical condition for having effective cybersecurity programs.
