Cyber Security Expert Learning Path
Introduction
Cyber security is the practice of protecting systems, networks, applications, sensitive data, computing devices and financial assets from cyberattacks that usually come in the form of ransomware attacks or computer viruses.
Cyberattacks typically aim to disrupt normal business processes, extort money, or access, change or destroy sensitive information, and so cyber security refers to any approach taken to prevent them or diminish their impact.
Attacks are becoming more frequent and attackers are becoming more innovative, and so it is essential for businesses to implement effective cyber security measures to protect themselves from the threat.
