What is cyber security?

Cyber security includes measures to protect IT systems, networks and data. These include access controls, identity and rights management, encryption, monitoring, vulnerability management and emergency and incident response processes. The aim is to ensure the availability, integrity and confidentiality of digital information and to effectively reduce risks from attacks, data loss or misuse.

What is the difference between IT security and cyber security?

IT security refers to the protection of traditional information and communication technology, such as servers, networks or end devices. Cyber security goes further: it also takes cloud, mobile applications, networked production systems and IoT into account. The term thus encompasses technical, organizational and human factors that are required for holistic protection in increasingly digital and networked environments.

What does OT security mean?

OT security (Operational Technology Security) refers to the protection of production and control systems in industry, energy supply or transportation. This includes machines, sensors, control systems and IoT devices. The aim is to ensure the availability and security of critical processes, prevent manipulation or failures and thus reliably protect people, systems and supply chains from cyberattacks.

What types of cyberattacks happen most frequently?

The most common cyberattacks include phishing emails, ransomware attacks, malware, brute force attempts on passwords and attacks on unpatched systems. They are often aimed at stealing access data or encrypting data. Social engineering also plays a major role, as people are often the most vulnerable point in the security structure.
