3. What is Cybersecurity?
Cybersecurity refer to the practice of protecting
systems network, and programs from digital attacks .
These attacks often aim to access change or destroy
sensitive information.
A cybersecurity threat , also known as a cybersecurity
threat, is a term used to refer to the possibility of a
cyber attacks occurring. Any threat related to
cybersecurity that has the potential to cause harm to a
system, device.

4. Evolution of Cybersecurity
Historical Perspective
Historically, cybersecurity began as
simple safeguards against virus and
small –attacks , evolving over the
decades into a multifaceted defence
mechanism against sophisticated and
varied threats.
Modern Developments
Modern development in cybersecurity
include advanced encryption, artificial
intelligence-driven threat detection,
multi-factor authentication and
comprehensive security protocols aimed
at mitigating complex cyber threats.
Future Trends
Future trends in cybersecurity are
likely to include advancements in
quantum cryptography, increased use
o machine learning for predictive
threat analytics, and enhanced global
cooperation to combat cybercrime.

5. Type of Cybersecurity
jj
Protects networks from cyber
threats like hackers, malware,
and unauthorized access.

detection/prevention systems
(IDS/IPS), and encryption
Network Security
knk
Focuses on protecting sensitive data
(personal, financial, and business
information) from breaches.Uses
encryption, access controls, and secure
data storage.
Focuses on protecting
sensitive data (personal,
financial, and business
information) from breaches.
Uses encryption, access
controls, and secure data
storage.
Information
Security (InfoSec)
Secures data, applications, and
services stored in cloud
environments (e.g., Google
Drive, AWS, Microsoft
Azure).Uses encryption, multi-
factor authentication (MFA),
and cloud security policies.
Cloud Security

6. Endpoint Security
Operational Security
(OpSec)
Protects internal business
operations from cyber threats
.Includes employee
cybersecurity training, secure
access control, and
monitoring systems .
Application Security
Protects devices like
computers, smartphones, and
IoT devices from cyber
threats. Uses antivirus
software, firewalls, and
endpoint detection and
response (EDR).
Ensures software and apps
are secure from
cyberattacks and
vulnerabilities. Uses secure
coding, software updates,
firewalls, and
authentication measures.

Malware
Malware is
malicious
software
designed to
harm ,exploit or
disable
computer,
network or
services. It
includes
viruses, worms ,
and trojans.
Phishing
Phishing is a
cyber attacks
that uses
disguised
emails or fake
website to
trick
individuals into
revealing
sensitive
information,
such as
passwords.
Ransomware
Ransomware is
a type of
malware that
encrypts a
victim’s files,
demanding
payments for
the decryption
key to restore
access to the
data.
Denial of
services
It is a attacks
aim to shut
down ,damage
or otherwise
inhibit certain
essential
function of the
victim’s
computer
Social
Engineering
It manipulates
people into
breaking normal
security
procedures to
gain
unauthorized
access to
system, often
via phone or
phishing scams

9. How Cybersecurity Protects Data?
Security controls
• Use access controls, firewalls, and intrusion detection systems to limit access and monitor
network traffic
Encryption
• Convert data into an unreadable format to protect confidentiality
Regular Backup
• Use antivirus and intrusion prevention to protect against malware and unauthorized access
Patch Management
• Regularly updating software and operating systems with security patches to address known
vulnerabilities.
Anti- Malware Software
• Programs that detect and remove Malicious Software like viruses, ransomware etc.
