Cyber Security is a process that\u2019s designed to protect networks and devices from external threats. Businesses typically employ\u00a0Cyber Security professionals<\/a>\u00a0to protect their confidential information, maintain employee productivity, and enhance customer confidence in products and services.<\/p>

The world of Cyber Security revolves around the industry standard of confidentiality, integrity, and availability,\u00a0or\u00a0CIA<\/a>. Privacy means data can be accessed only by authorized parties; integrity means information can be added, altered, or removed only by authorized users; and availability means systems, functions, and data must be available on-demand according to agreed-upon parameters.<\/p>

The main element of Cyber Security is the use of authentication mechanisms. For example, a user name identifies an account that a user wants to access, while a password is a mechanism that proves the user is who he claims to be.<\/p>
