Protecting you from virtual attacks!

Monday, 24th of September 2018

Cyber Security has evolved drastically since its beginning. While commonly associated with computers, it has in fact a broader application than just this. The first instance of a cyber-attack was in 1903, when magician Nevil Maskelyne disrupted John Ambrose Fleming’s demonstration by sending insulting Morse code messages that were projected onto the auditorium’s screen. Since then, hackers have grown by leaps and bounds, and are now capable of unimaginable feats. With the growth and development of tools and methods, is now much easier to attack a business or an individual by hacking into a system.

Protection from Cyber Attacks

Professionals working in cybersecurity engineering go by a number of different titles/ Popular titles are Application/Web security engineer, Cybersecurity engineer, Data security engineer and IA/IT security engineer. Regardless of the title, it is understood that the role is vital. However, as an upcoming area information assurance engineering is still defining the specific role it will play in information security. Until a consensus is reached, information assurance engineering remains a bit ambiguous. The ambiguity of the role, however leads to certain benefits such as flexibility of the job and its tasks. For example, if the employer hasn’t clearly defined the role, newly recruited employees will likely have an opportunity to practice a wide variety of skills that will define the role in broad terms. However, even as of now, many organizations have a more constrained definition of the role that has been established internally in terms of only certain role-specific tasks. The professional through a series of algorithms and security procedures, strengthens the organization virtually, preventing it and its vulnerabilities from attack. Lack of cyber security leads to issues such as identity theft or leaks of confidential information.
