Elizabeth Denham argues that we will all need to change how we think about data protection. The internet has become highly globally connected, making systems vulnerable to viruses, worms, and cyber attacks that can access, alter, or destroy sensitive data. To ensure security, individuals and organizations should use precautions like strong passwords, encryption, firewalls, and anti-malware software to protect against common cyberattack types such as phishing, spoofing, malware, and denial of service attacks.

Cybersecurity ?
• Cybersecurity is the protection of systems, networks, applications and
programs from cyber attacks.
• These Cyber-attacks tend to access, change or even destroy sensitive
information to the extent of extorting money from users or causally interrupt a
normal business process.
In a very simple manner –
Cybersecurity = security of

Who Breaches into security ?
• Non-malicious hackers who
attempt to break into a
company’s or organization’s

• Hackers without any affiliation to a
company that attempts to break into
a company’s network but risks the
law by doing so.
• Malicious hackers who break
into computer systems and
networks without authorization
or permission.
