With increasing digitalization, the IT sector is
undergoing continuous expansion. There has been
increasing use of computers, the Internet, and
wireless networks or devices (Bluetooth and
Wi-Fi), smart devices (smartphones, smart
electronics, smart systems, and gadgets), and
various tiny devices that constitute the Internet
of Things. Both large and small medium
enterprises process large volumes of data using a
digital platform. Hence, cybersecurity
software has become essential to protect computer
systems and their components from unauthorized
access or attacks.Elements of
CybersecurityCybersecurity software is designed
in a way that makes it possible to maintain the
confidentiality, integrity, and availability of
data across organizations. Elements of
information security include the

• The cybersecurity framework is developed for use
  across sectors such as banking, communications,
  defense, energy, government, corporate,
  financial, and medical.
• Best Cybersecurity software involves multiple
  layers of protection across networks. There are
  three approaches of data security controls
  people, processes, and technology it is
  necessary that these complement one another to
  maintain an effective defense for cyberattacks.
• People
• Every employee needs to be aware of and must
  understand and comply with basic data security
  practices such as choosing strong passwords,
  being wary of attachments in email, and backing
  up data. Users must have the knowledge of
  preventing and reducing cyber threats and remain
  updated with the latest cyber risks, solutions,
  and qualifications, to be able to mitigate and
  respond to cyberattacks effectively.

• Processes
• Processes are important in communicating the
  organizations cyber security process. A
  well-structured process should also clearly
  define roles and responsibilities and specify
  procedures to be followed. The framework can
  explain how one can identify attacks, protect
  systems, detect respond to threats, and recover
  from successful attacks. Processes need to be
  regularly reviewed to counter the latest cyber
  threats and responses as the cyber framework
  undergoes constant changes.
• Technology
• Technical controls are important when providing
  organizations and individuals the computer
  security tools to protect themselves from
  cyberattacks. From access controls to installing
  antivirus software, technology can be positioned
  to mitigate cyber risks to endpoint devices
  (computers, smart devices, and routers),
  networks, and the cloud. The common technology
  used to protect these entities include
  next-generation firewalls, DNS filtering, malware
  protection, antivirus software, and email
  security solutions. These three approaches
  help top cybersecurity companies protect
  themselves from organized and opportunistic
  attacks and common internal threats.
