A:Cybersecurity sounds very complicated, but what exactly are we protecting?

B:In simple terms it involves ensuring important data is not leaked, altered or suddenly inaccessible

A: I see, so it’s not just about stopping hackers, it’s also about ensuring systems operate normally

B:Making sure personal data, passwords, and company information are all protected, as it can create all kinds of problems if such information is leaked or maliciously altered. The point is to protect the confidentiality, integrity and useability of data

A:In other words, the focus of cybersecurity is security, accuracy and being able to operate normally

B:That’s right! In addition, cybersecurity also includes:

•Network security: Preventing data leaks, system crashes, identifying theft, fraud
•System security: Computer or website system vulnerabilities can result in attacks; scanning for weaknesses and introducing patches reduces the risk
•App security: Attackers may use app vulnerabilities to steal private data and assets; Pay attention to an app’s source, updates, and security checks
•Data encryption and identity authentication: In addition to storing data, it is also necessary to prevent theft and ransomware. •Encryption and authentication can protect data from being read
•Cloud security: Cloud environments must simultaneously address security for networks, systems, apps and encryption

5大必知風險 資訊安全威脅與防護必備要素

A:資安聽起來很複雜,到底在保護什麼?

B:簡單說就是保護重要資訊不被偷、不被改,也不會突然用不了

A:原來不只防駭客,還要讓系統正常運作

B:像個資、密碼、公司資料都要顧得好,不然被外流或亂改都很麻煩,保護機密性、完整性和可用性

A:所以資安重點就是安全、正確、還要能正常使用

B:沒錯!另外,資訊安全還包括:

•網路安全:如資料外洩、系統癱瘓、身份盜用、詐騙等
•系統安全:電腦或網站系統可能因漏洞被攻擊,弱掃與修補可降低風險
•應用程式安全:攻擊者可能透過APP漏洞竊取隱私與財產,重視來源、更新與安全檢測
•資料加密與身份認證:除了存放資料,也要防竊取及勒索,加密或驗證可保護資料不被解讀
•雲端安全:雲端需同時兼顧網路、系統、應用與加密等安全要素
