Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity aims to reduce risks to systems, information and business continuity.

How it works

It combines prevention, detection and response through updates, least privilege, stronger authentication, logs and incident procedures. Controls depend on the risks and need verification.

Hypothetical small business example

A business could remove unused accounts, limit administrator permissions and test recovery of a critical service.

Benefits and limitations

Reduce some opportunities for incidents and improve recovery readiness.

No tool guarantees that attacks will never happen. Compliance or certification should only be claimed with applicable evidence.

Common question

Does an audit guarantee security?

No. It covers a defined scope at a particular time. Remediation, monitoring and reassessment are still needed.
