Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting digital systems, networks, devices, software and data from unauthorized access, disruption, theft, manipulation or destruction. It includes measures such as access controls, encryption, network monitoring, vulnerability management, incident response and employee training. In business and supply chain contexts, cybersecurity also covers risks created by third-party vendors, cloud platforms, connected equipment and operational technology. Strong cybersecurity helps organizations maintain operational continuity, protect sensitive information, reduce financial and regulatory risks, and improve resilience against cyberattacks such as ransomware, phishing, data breaches and supply chain compromises.
