Cybersecurity is an approach to
protect data from advanced cyber threats. It entails a set of security
technologies and solutions, policies, guidelines, risk management approaches,
and professional and managed services, to protect data from cyber attacks. Endpoint
security, application security, cloud security, wireless security, network security,
and others (database security and web security) are some of the major areas
covered in cybersecurity. Organizations can put an end to security breaches and
help reduce business costs with proper cybersecurity
software solutions.
Both public and private
organizations process large volumes of confidential data that is prone to cyber
threats and needs to be secured. Additionally, with the increase in the
sophistication in cyber attacks, the demand for comprehensive cybersecurity
solutions is growing. Security vendors have begun developing advanced
intelligence-based cybersecurity solutions to provide proactive, holistic
security for critical business applications.
