CYBER SECURITY - A need of an hour..

Cyber Security :

It is in fact protecting your personal information or any kind of digital asset stored in your computer or in any digital storage device.Cyber Security includes all the necessary activities to protect the information over the network from unintended or unauthorized access, change or destruction. It also includes protection from unplanned events and natural disasters.
  

Principles Of Cyber Security :

  • Information Availability 
 Information must be available at any time so that the one who needs it can use it.
  • Information Confidentiality 
Sensitive information must remain confidential and be shared with only authorized users.
  • Information Integrity
 Information must retain its integrity and not be altered from its original state. 

 

  Importance Of Cyber Security :

The increasing volume and sophistication of cyber security threats including targeting phishing scams, data theft, and other online vulnerabilities demand that we remain vigilant about securing our systems and information.
The average unprotected computer (i.e. does not have proper security controls in place) connected to the Internet can be compromised in moments. Thousands of infected web pages are being discovered every day. Hundreds of millions of records have been involved in data breaches.New attack methods are launched continuously. These are just a few examples of the threats facing us, and they highlight the importance of information security as a necessary approach to protecting data and systems. 

 

Global Cyber Security Market :

The global cyber security market is expected to grow from $63.7 billion in 2011 to $120.1 billion by 2017, at an estimated CAGR of 11.3% from 2012 to 2017.

This significant growth is further fuelled by a surge in the number of cyber attacks, the pressure of austerity measures on Western defense budgets, and the relentless advancement in cyber-crime technologies.
