Types of Cyber Security

Cyber Security is classified into the following:

• Information security – Information security protects your information from unauthorized access, identity theft and protects the privacy of information and hardware that use, store and transmit data. Examples of Information security: Authorization of user and Cryptography.
• Network security – Network security protects the usability, integrity and safety of a network, associated components, connection and information shared over the network. When you secure a network, potential threats are identified and nullified from entering or spreading on the network. Examples of Network Security: Anti-virus and anti-spyware, using Firewall to block unauthorized access to your network and using Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) for a secure remote access.
• Application security – Application security protects applications from threats that occur due to the flaws in application design, development, installation, upgrade or maintenance phases.
