ICT SECURITY
ICT Security, also known as Information and Communication Technology Security, focuses on protecting digital systems, networks, and data from unauthorized access, cyber threats, and vulnerabilities. Here's an outline of a typical description:
- Foundations of ICT Security: Introduction to cybersecurity principles and the importance of safeguarding information and communication systems.
- Network Security: Methods to secure networks, including firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and virtual private networks (VPNs).
- Data Security: Protecting sensitive information through encryption, access controls, and secure storage methods.
- Cyber Threats and Attacks: Understanding types of attacks such as phishing, malware, ransomware, and denial-of-service (DoS).
- Risk Management: Identifying, assessing, and mitigating security risks in ICT environments.
- Security Policies and Compliance: Development of security policies, adherence to regulations, and best practices in cybersecurity.
- Incident Response and Recovery: Preparing for and responding to security breaches, and ensuring continuity of operations.
- Emerging Technologies: Cybersecurity challenges and solutions in areas such as cloud computing, IoT (Internet of Things), and AI.
- Ethical Hacking and Penetration Testing: Exploring ways to assess and enhance security through simulated attacks.
