The basics of cyber security

Why attack an unhackable firewall when you can trick a very hackable person?

Cyber Security is a complex and unfathomable area of the computer industry cloaked in mystery that nobody understands. Well, yes and no. It can certainly be complex and the vast areas the term “cyber security” covers leaves many wondering where to start becoming secure. Indeed, “where do I start?”, is often the first question I am asked when consulting with customers and doing audits. If this question is not answered correctly, then that is where problems can really start.

Common thinking is that to fix cyber security in an organisation, money must be spent on technology, the more the better, and the job is done. The expensive firewall, the cutting-edge intrusion detection, the latest anti-malware solution are all products and technology promising to protect us from the latest threats and those with malicious intent.
