IT & Cybersecurity​ FAQs

Anyone responsible for building, operating, or protecting technology and data—IT administrators, network engineers, software developers, SOC analysts, cloud/DevOps teams, data protection officers, compliance and risk managers, helpdesk teams, and business leaders who approve budgets and policies.

 

Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting information, systems, networks, applications, and cloud services to ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability. It combines governance and risk management with technical controls such as identity and access management, network and endpoint protection, secure software development, vulnerability management, incident response, and business continuity.
