Cybersecurity Defined

Cybercrime is a modern day menace threatening business growth, halting customer service, and damaging a business’ reputation. Cybercrime comes in many forms including: malware, phishing, spyware, unintentional exposure of confidential information, alteration of software applications, compromised or stolen customer records, and more.

Cybersecurity is the preventative strategies implemented to protect information from being stolen, compromised, or attacked.
