INTRODUCTION TO CYBER SECURITY
In this chapter, we will discuss what exactly cyber security is and how it affects
our day-to-day work lives. But before we dive into the details, let's consider an
example:
In an office, one day Quinn is following his daily routine, working on his computer
and trying to crunch some numbers. However, in the background, there is a hacker
who is trying to access the confidential files located on Quinn's computer through a
vulnerability. The hacker successfully accesses the files and transfers them to their
own computer. This scenario can lead to various legal ramifications, such as loss of
company secrets, leakage of information, or even industrial espionage.
So, what are we going to discuss in this video? Let's start with the basics:
• What is cyber security?
• Why is cyber security necessary in today's world?
• How does cyber security work?
• Who is a cyber security expert?
• What are the required skills and certifications?
