Cyber security is centered around cyberattacks and the process of protecting and recovering networks, devices, and programs from malicious tendencies. Attackers at all cost use a sequence of steps that is likely to produce a result that exceeds the cost of the efforts. An organization must institute a layered approach to security and controls to address and mitigate every known and unknown security loophole. Information security and information assurance in today’s organizations focus on the entire security process which is not central to its hardware and software being retrieved and used but on the data that is processed by them during the data lifecycle

Cyber security regulation is to force companies and organizations to protect their systems and information from cyber-attacks. Demanding policies that include least-privilege to network resources and limit rights and permissions to employees as the best standard security practice.
