                       What is Cyber Safety?

Digital security is implemented to protect your network/ security from any malicious digital cyber-attacks. Cyber Safety can be implemented in organizations and in individual systems/ networks. It is usually generated against cyber-attacks that are caused through a publically accessible internet connection, phishing emails, suspicious links, downloadable documents or apps, and more of similar nature.

Additionally, Cyber Safety protects the computer/ network from cyber attack’s consequences as well. This is exceptionally helpful when cyber-attacks are generated in such a way that the attack leaves a lasting impression on the organization’s overall functionality.

“Information security” is used quite interchangeably with the term “Cyber Safety”. However, it is to be noted that information security is a part of Cyber Safety and not a separate aspect. Information security usually comprises research data or personal data. Cyber Safety is implemented in various organizations to protect data. This protection is known as information security. Primarily, information security is deployed in areas where digital data is stored and is highly vulnerable to attacks. This includes information systems, apps, and websites.
