Cybersecurity Regulations

The purpose of a cybersecurity regulation is to force companies and organizations to protect their systems and information from cyberattacks.

Some examples of cyberattacks that cybersecurity regulations aim to prevent are viruses, worms, Trojan horses, phishing, denial of service (DOS) attacks, unauthorized access (stealing intellectual property or confidential information), and control system attacks.

Some measures available to prevent cyberattacks include firewalls, anti-virus software, intrusion detection and prevention systems, encryption, and login passwords.
