Cyber Security Training

Cyber security is the practice of defending computers and servers, mobile devices, electronic systems, networks and data from malicious attacks. It is also known as information technology security or electronic information security.

The threats countered by cyber-security are three-fold: Cybercrime, which includes single actors or groups targeting systems for financial gain; Cyberwar, which often involves information gathering and is politically motivated; and Cyber terror, which is intended to undermine electronic systems and cause panic or fear. 

Common methods used by attackers to control computers or networks include viruses, worms, spyware and Trojans. Viruses and worms can self-replicate and damage files or systems, while spyware and Trojans are often used for surreptitious data collection. 

The average user typically comes in contact with malicious code via an unsolicited email attachment or by downloading programs that look legitimate, but in fact carry a malware payload.

Cybersecurity is a very broad category which encompasses numerous hardware and software technologies, and can be applied on any level, including personal, corporate or governmental devices or networks.

Scope & Feature:

• A cybersecurity plan is critical for any company with highly sensitive information. Many companies now appoint a chief security officer (CSO) or chief information security officer (CISO) to oversee their cybersecurity.
• The cyber security market is expected to grow to around $232 Billion by 2022 according to a report. Domestic IT giants like Infosys and even global players like CISCO have been betting big in the cyber security domain.
• The growth in cloud-based security solutions and tools, and increase in adoption of big data analytics to gather cyber threats data among other trends are creating humongous opportunities in the area of cyber security.
