2. Cybersecurity
Cyber security is the practice of
defending computers, servers,
mobile devices, electronic systems,
networks, and data from malicious
attacks. It's also known as
information technology security or
electronic information security.
3. The COVID-19, also known as the coronavirus pandemic, was an
unprecedented event that altered the lives of billions of people globally
and greatly increased the risk of cyber-attacks. The pandemic pushed
organizations to adopt remote working method and forced employees
to work from their homes, which bring new security risks. Due to this
new working model, personnel computing devices have been
extensively utilized for work purposes. Video conferencing tools have
become the primary environment for meeting, reliance on remote
connectivity services, and corporate VPNs have augmented, and cloud
services have justified their usefulness, which generate an increased
risk of data breaches and expose the companies’ critical IT systems to
malicious content.
