WHAT IS CYBER SECURITY?
Cyber security is one of the most up and coming industries in the world. With tech becoming bigger than ever and always evolving it’s helpful to understand what it is and how it can influence your business. It is the sole protector of all devices and services from unauthorized access to the extensive amounts of personal information we store on them and online.
HOW HAS IT MADE REVOLUTIONS IN TECH?
Nowadays nearly everything can be done online especially when it comes to buying things – the world of e-commerce is forever growing, and this can be one of the biggest downfalls to technology as there is so much sharing of personal information; your name, address, your email address, your phone number and most scarily your bank details! Giving out these details online can be super scary because you never know who can access that information – In 2020 UK consumers lost £479 million to financial fraud and in April of that year the NCSC shut down 139,522 fake shops.
HOW CYBER SECURITY INFLUENCES YOUR BUSINESS
Cyber security plays a critical role in protecting businesses from digital threats that can disrupt operations and compromise sensitive data. At CSP® we believe that protecting sensitive data is one of the most important your business should protect, this includes all customer data such as personal details and payment information especially if you’re operating an online payment system for businesses such as e-commerce.
LATEST TRENDS
We can’t talk about Cyber security without talking about the biggest revolution in tech – Artificial Intelligence, more commonly referred to as AI. AI has undoubtedly started to get everyone talking; talking about its ability to look and sound like real-life humans as well as create scenarios, images, text and much more, just by being given a brief prompt. But that’s just the tip of the AI iceberg, with companies using AI to detect peoples’ age, race and gender or the ability to understand sign language. Some schools are even using AI to create personalised learning plans based each individual student’s data. AI can be a fantastic addition to save time and money, but it doesn’t come without risk!
