Cyber security is how individuals and organisations reduce the risk of cyber attack. Cyber security’s core function is to protect the devices we all use (smartphones, laptops, tablets and computers), and the services we access – both online and at work – from theft or damage.

A Cybersecurity specialist works to oversee organisations’ data security operations and keep the entire IT infrastructure, including software systems, networks and data centers, secure. At the same time, ensures other cybersecurity team members and internal employees adhere to current security policies.
