Networks and Cyber Security

Cyber security is about the protection of electronic information from unauthorized access. Cyber security covers all aspects of the computer system to prevent unauthorized access, change or destruction of electronic information, and at the same time to ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the information for authorized users. Understanding computer networks, computer operating system, and data storage are crucial in the prevention of cyber attacks since these are the most vulnerable points for intrusion.
