Cybersecurity Legal, Ethical, and Professional Practice
- Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting systems, networks, and data from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction.
- Cybersecurity is important for several reasons, including protecting sensitive data (PII), preventing cyberattacks, maintaining business operations, and protecting privacy.
- Cybersecurity professionals must adhere to legal, ethical, and professional practices (CLEPP).
- CLEPP is important because it ensures that cybersecurity professionals act responsibly and ethically.

- Application security focuses on preventing attacks like SQL injection and buffer overflow.
- Information security protects data from unauthorized access and theft.
- End-user security focuses on user awareness, strong passwords, and avoiding phishing.
Legal Considerations of Cybersecurity
