Cyber Security

WHAT IS CYBER SECURITY
 Ensures that the data of any organization is safe from the
hackers
 Encompasses the body of the technologies, practices,
structures and processes
 Protects the computers, programs, data and network from
any damage or unauthorized access (Craigen, Diakun-
Thibault & Purse, 2014)
 Ensures the data confidentially, integrity and availability

IMPORTANCE OF CYBER
SECURITY
 To protect from the security breaches
 Preventing the hackers from accessing to the system or
network (Tarter, 2017)
 Protecting the information of organization as well as the
information of customers and employee.
 Securing the network and system

CYBER SECURITY IN
ORGANIZATION
 Contains the set of security management tools with the
inclusive risks management strategies and wide security
awareness program (Kuypers, Maillart & Paté-Cornell,
2016)
 Identifies the potential risks and will also pertain the cost
of those risks
 Helps in preventing the risks before they occur
 Helps in assessing the tactical plan in the organization

CYBER SECURITY
GOVERNANCE
 Helps in controlling and directing the IT security
 Pertains who is the right and authorized person for
making the decision (De Bruin & Von Solms, 2016)
 Provides the oversight and specifies the accountability
 Ensures that the security strategies are properly aligned
with the objectives of the business

LEGAL IMPLICATIONS OF
CYBERSECURITY ON
BUSINESS
 Legal policies include the wide range of the legal
measures and consideration
 Combating and preventing the cybercrime in the
organizations
 Required areas including the jurisdiction, criminalization,
internet service, International Corporation and procedural
powers (Rothrock, Kaplan & Van Der Oord, 2018)
 Legal factors and laws of the cyber crimes are the
frequent concern of the criminalization

POLITICAL IMPLICATIONS OF
CYBERSECURITY ON
BUSINESS
 Prioritizing the cyber security as the national issue
 Strengthening the international collaboration
 Furnace the public-private partnerships (Cavelty, 2014)
 Evolution of Inclusive National Cybersecurity Ingenuity
 Developments to the better information sharing
 Working to the passage of main cyber security bill

CYBERSECURITY POLICIES
 Spyware and Virus Protection policy
 Intrusion Prevention policy
 Device and Application Control (Alotaibi, Furnell & Clarke,
2016)
 Firewall Policy
 Host Integrity policy
 Exceptions policy
 Live Update policy

CYBERSECURITY STANDARDS
 Published materials and attempt for protecting the cyber
environment of the organization
 Includes the users, software, networks, data, devices,
processes, applications, services and data storage
 Main objectives is to mitigate the risks by mitigating and
preventing the cyber attacks
 Regulations and standards are the generic set of the
prescription for the ideal execution of the proper
measures (Collier et al., 2014)

CONCLUSION
 Most of the large organizations with the significant
resources and top talent devoted.
 More highly skilled employees in the cyber security roles
can help the nation or the organization for responding
more robustly.
 This will help the organization to prevent the cyber
security by applying proper regulation and policies.
