FAQ

What is cybersecurity?

Cybersecurity refers to the specialization of computer network security that consists of technologies, policies, and procedures that protect networked computer systems from unauthorized use or harm. Broadly speaking, cybersecurity topics can be subdivided into two complementary areas: cyber-attacks, which are essentially offensive and emphasize network penetration techniques; and cyber defenses, which are essentially protective and emphasize countermeasures intended to eliminate or mitigate cyber-attacks. Cybersecurity Forum, 2021.

What is a cyber-attack?

Cyber-attacks can take aim at the enterprise, government, military, and other infrastructural assets of a nation, companies or its citizens, where these assets can include physical infrastructure (e.g., power grids, nuclear reactors) as well as computational infrastructure (e.g., computers, networks). Cyber-attacks can be classified by their participating actors (states vs. non-states) and their attack mechanisms (e.g., direct attack, malware, exploits). Cyber-attacks can also be employed on end user devices such as mobile phones and tablets. Cybersecurity Forum, 2021.

Why do we need cybersecurity?

According to the Verizon Data Breach Report for 2020, the financial market for cyber-attacks is US$13B globally. The increasing reliance of information-age economies and governments on cyber (computer-based) infrastructure makes them progressively more vulnerable to cyber-attacks on their computer systems, networks, and data. In their most disruptive form, cyber-attacks target the enterprise, government, military, or other infrastructural assets of a nation or its citizens, usually for a monetary gain. Both the volume and sophistication of cyber threats (cyber warfare, cyber terrorism, cyber espionage, and malicious hacking) are monotonically increasing, and pose potent threats to enterprise, government, military, or other infrastructural assets around the world. Knowing that to be forewarned is to be forearmed, we are well advised to effect strong Cybersecurity defenses that will thwart rapidly evolving cyber threats. Cybersecurity Forum, 2021.
