Cybersecurity FAQ
Cyber security or IT security is the protection of systems, networks, programs, devices and data using technologies and controls that are directly implemented to combat cyber attacks.
Anitmalware software is a program specifically designed in the detection, prevention and removal of malicious software.

For full protection you want to implement all three of these methods.
IT Security monitoring is the collection and analysis of information on your network, designed to track behaviour or unauthorised changes on your network. It defines what actions trigger alerts and what subsequent measures will be taken.
Vulnerability takes an inventory of the network. Devices, virtual machines, containers, firewalls, switches and printers etc are al logged. For each of these devices further information about them including operating system, software installed and any other relevant attributes is stored. Using this inventory each item is then checked against vulnerability databases to monitor if they are subjectable to an attack. It’s an essential part of a business’ operation that vulnerability scanning is addressed on a regular basis.
