Cybersecurity Quotes
Cybersecurity is the process or practice of protecting systems, networks, and programs from digital and cyber attacks. These cyberattacks are usually aimed and their major goal is at accessing, changing, or destroying sensitive information; extorting money from users via ransomware; or interrupting normal business processes.
It is the process of protecting computers, servers, networks, mobile devices, electronic systems, and data from malicious attacks. It’s also known as information technology security, digital security, computer security or electronic security.
Cybersecurity Threats
Cybersecurity Threats is the lacking or opportunities for an attacker or hacker, which can be used to compromise a computer system, network, or IoT devices.
Types of Cybersecurity Threats
There are a number of cybersecurity threats, as nothing is completely uncompromised. Every Computer System, Network, or any device which has ICs inside it, is vulnerable and is not completely protected. Some Common Cybersecurity Threat is mentioned below;
Phishing
Phishing is process or practice of stooling information with the help of emails, links and messages. In this method, the hacker or the attacker creates a phishing links via different tools and OS. This Phishing links are then converted into a good links email or link, and adjusted to work into open network. These links and emails are then shared to the victims via different platforms like WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram, Gmail etc. When the victims click on these emails and links, there information is transferred directly to the attacker.
Social Engineering
Social Engineering is a tactic in which the attacker can steal you information as well as he can also get access on your digital devices. It is similar to phishing and link sharing tactic. In this method, the attacker create a payload or a virus, which he injects on an application, file, image or video etc. When the user had download and install that application, then application connects with the attacker’s system at the backend. In this way, all control of your digital devices is transferred to the attacker or the hacker.
Malware
Malware is software that works similar to that of infected application or a software. With the help of this, the attacker can get unauthorized access of your devices.
Cybersecurity Quotes
Cybersecurity is the huge world of technical security. That’s why it is very important and crucial. Let me give you some heroic cybersecurity quotes.
Ramsés Gallego, ISACA
“Organizations must have a Recovery Time Objective as well as a Recovery Point Objective”
Recovery Time Objective (RTO) is the maximum acceptable amount of time for restoring a network or application and regaining access to data after an unplanned disruption and Recovery Point Objective is a time-based measurement of the maximum amount of data loss that is tolerable to an organization.
Abhijit Naskar, Himalayan Sonneteer
“Never post family pictures online, There’s no such thing as privacy settings. It is a total jungle out there, In every corner predators are lurking.”
Cybersecurity is the name of protecting your privacy, but everything links to internet can be compromised. So prefer not to post your personal and family pictures on internet, as it give opportunity to attackers.
Stephane Nappo
“Cyber-Security is much more than a matter of IT.”
It’s really true that Cybersecurity is much more than that of Internet Technology. Let me give you one example, you heard about cars that have a remote to lock and unlock the car. This feature can be compromised using applications of cybersecurity.
Mark Zuckerberg (CEO of Facebook)
“Hacking just means building something quickly or testing the boundaries of what can be done.”
Hacking involves quick decision, as there can be any situation while performing a cyber attack. For example; if someone is performing attack on the google server, then google cyber team, which are performing cyber duties. These ethical hackers performs attempts to stop the cyber attack and also to locate the attacker. In this case, the attacker has to make quick decisions to maintain its own security. This is a huge duty, that’s why Ethical hacking is a high paying jobs.

“Companies that are leveraging technologies the best, leveraging the best practices in order to mitigate their risk, they should see that reflected in the terms and conditions that they are offered by the market.”
Noel Pearman openly said that the companies who are getting benefits from internet and technologies, sometimes they violates the privacy the users. In my opinion, it is correct sometimes, therefore, be alert while using internet.
Conclusion
In the end, I want to add that the demand for cybersecurity will increase tremendously in the future. Be alert! Cybersecurity is not only the security of our networks and system, it’ a wall between attacker and a victim.
