What is Cybersecurity?
Answered by:
Cybersecurity is the proactive approach to securing your network and data. Too often do I hear people say "my modem from [insert ISP here] already has a firewall built in to it, doesn't it?"
A firewall is only part of the solution. You have other things like Virus Protection, SPAM/Phishing Filters, Application Control, etc. to consider when implementing a cybersecurity plan.
Then you have the human factor to contend with. Especially with BYOD being very popular. I install what I call "Gateway Security Appliances" for my customers. It is much more than a firewall and it inspects every packet moving in and out of their network. Those packets can then be allowed or denied based on specific rules that are sometimes set on a per-company basis.
The more valuable your data is, the more secure you need your network to be.
