Reader’s Guide
● The art of war teaches us to rely not on the likelihood of the enemy's not coming, but
on our own readiness to receive him; not on the chance of his not attacking, but rather
on the fact that we have made our position unassailable. —The Art of War, Sun Tzu

access.

information system.
What is Cyber Security?
● Cyber security is the protection of Internet-connected systems, including hardware,
software, and data from cyber attacks.
● It is made up of two words one is cyber and other is security.
○ Cyber is related to the technology which contains systems, network and
programs or data.
○ Whereas security related to the protection which includes systems security,
network security and application and information security.
Why Cyber Security is important?
● Cyber attacks can be extremely expensive for businesses to endure.
● In addition to financial damage suffered by the business, a data breach can also inflict untold
reputational damage.
● Cyber-attacks these days are becoming progressively destructive. Cybercriminals are using
more sophisticated ways to initiate cyber attacks.
● Regulations such as GDPR are forcing organizations into taking better care of the personal
data they hold.
Because of the above reasons, cyber security has become an important part of the business and
the focus now is on developing appropriate response plans that minimize the damage in the event
of a cyber attack.
