Study Notes
What is Cyber Security?
- Cyber security is the combination of technologies, standards, policies, and management practices used to protect digital information.
Why is Cyber Security Important?
- Organizations increasingly rely on information systems in today's technological environment.
Basic Cyber Security Concepts
- Confidentiality: Protecting information from unauthorized access.
- Integrity: Ensuring information remains accurate and unaltered.
- Availability: Guaranteeing access to information when needed.
Cyber Security Breach
- Accessing sensitive files on a web server, even unintentionally, constitutes a cyber security breach.
Authenticity

Plan-Protect-Respond Cycle
- Planning: Developing strategies and procedures for cyber security.
- Protection: Implementing measures to mitigate threats.
- Response: Recovering from incidents and mitigating damage.
Stages in the Plan-Protect-Respond Cycle
- The planning stage usually consumes the most time.
Protection
