Are your systems safe?

Cyber security in Egypt comprises technologies, processes and controls that are designed to protect systems, networks and data from cyber attacks.

Effective cyber security reduces the risk of cyber attacks, and protects organizations and individuals from exploitation of systems, networks and technologies.

The most difficult aspect of cyber security is the rapidly changing nature of security risks. The traditional approach focused resources on protection against the bigger known threats not protecting systems against less dangerous risks.

•  Using social interaction & tricking users into violating security procedures to gain discerning & protected information.
• Where fraudulent emails are sent that resemble emails from reputable sources; however, the intention of these emails is to steal sensitive data, such as credit card or login information is known as Phishing
