Cyber Threat Intelligence Cybersecurity & Data Protection

Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting the operation of computer systems and networks. Cybersecurity is commonly the domain of information technology (IT) specialists who work to secure computer systems and Internet, WiFi, and other networks.

Cybersecurity services include assisting individuals or organizations with securing their computer systems and networks from vulnerabilities that often impact those areas. They may include protection against malware, spoofing, phishing, virus attacks, hacking, and reverse engineering.

There are a variety of cyberattacks. The most common include:

1. Email phishing, where malicious email senders gain access to computers through deceptive email messages
2. Malware, where viruses and spyware are downloaded, unintentionally, onto computers
3. Ransomware, the practice of gaining access to a computer or network for the purpose of locking users out unless a ransom is paid
4. Botnets, which can drive a range of cyberattacks, including denial-of-service attacks

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requirements, a component of EU law, include a list of guidelines to help tech companies better handle user data. The main requirements include lawful and transparent processing, data subject rights, consent, privacy by design, data transfers, limitation of purpose, and data and storage.
