`What is Cybersecurity?`

Cybersecurity is the collective process of protecting computer systems, networks, and programs from cyberattacks.

CISA defines it as "Cybersecurity is the art of protecting networks, devices, and data from unauthorized access or criminal use and the practice of ensuring confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information." It seems that everything relies on computers and the internet now—communication (e.g., email, smartphones, tablets), entertainment (e.g., interactive video games, social media, apps ), transportation (e.g., navigation systems), shopping (e.g., online shopping, credit cards), medicine (e.g., medical equipment, medical records), and the list goes on. How much of your daily life relies on technology? How much of your personal information is stored either on your own computer, smartphone, tablet or on someone else's system?

Cybersecurity, computer security, or information technology security (IT Security) is a very important part of the cyberspace.

Cyberspace is a larger term than the internet. It refers to digital environments in which the exchange of electronic information takes place—that includes private networks and online services beyond the public internet. The role of cybersecurity has only become more important for the modern enterprise and increasingly for the individual. Cybersecurity is unlike any other technology sector. It’s an industry that thrives on human fear, not greed. The sector isn’t a revenue driver for businesses neither can its cost-saving impact always be empirically measured.

Security is a $200B industry growing over 11% each year, making it one of the largest and most mission-critical technology sectors.

Today, The field of cybersecurity can be categorized into ten (10) main domains:

-  Access Control
-  Telecommunications and Network Security
-  Information Security Governance and Risk Management
-  Software Development Security
-  Cryptography
-  Security Architecture and Design
-  Operations Security & Threat Intelligence
-  Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Planning
-  Legal, Regulations, Investigations and Compliance
-  Physical (Environmental) Security
