Types of Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity is a broad field with various types designed to protect different aspects of digital environments. Here are some key types:

​

• Network Security – Protects networks from cyber threats like hackers, malware, and unauthorized access.

• Endpoint Security – Secures individual devices (computers, mobile phones) from cyber attacks.

• Application Security – Ensures software and apps are free from vulnerabilities that attackers can exploit.

• Cloud Security – Focuses on securing cloud-based infrastructure, data, and applications.

• Data Security – Protects sensitive information from breaches, leaks, and unauthorized access.

• Identity & Access Management (IAM) – Ensures only authorized users have access to systems and data.

• Operational Security – Involves policies, risk management, and processes to safeguard digital assets.

• AI-Powered Security – Uses machine learning to detect, prevent, and respond to cyber threats in real time.
