“Cyber security is the implementation of processes and controls to protect systems, networks, hardware, software, data and devices from online cyber threats. Cyber attacks involve data theft, unlawful data access, sensitive data being leaked and compromised networks. Cyber security threats come in many different forms, some examples include phishing, malware, ransomware, password attacks, network breaches and insecure Wi-Fi access.

Businesses that fall victim to cyber-attacks experience significant losses to data and disruptions to networks and IT infrastructure. As a result of this, cyber security is a practice that should be taken seriously.”
