In general, cyber security solutions are tools used to protect networks, computers, programs, and data from unauthorized access or attack. This can be done through various means, including firewalls, intrusion detection, and prevention systems, encryption, etc.

When it comes to business, however, the term “cybersecurity solution” is often used more broadly to encompass a range of services and products that help organizations protect their critical information assets. This can include everything from malware protection and detection to email security and data loss prevention. As TX Security Solution, we offer a comprehensive suite of cybersecurity solutions to help your business stay safe in the ever-changing digital landscape.

The five types of cybersecurity are:

1. Application security: This type of security focuses on protecting the software applications used in an organization. This can include everything from web-based applications to mobile apps. Application security includes measures such as code review, application hardening, and application firewalling.

2. Data security: Data security focuses on protecting the data stored within an organization. This can be done through various means such as encryption, access control, and data backup.

3. Cloud security: Involves a set of policies and application control to protect virtualized IPs, networks, and applications running on a cloud platform. It has proved fruitful in today’s business world as organizations develop a comprehensive cloud security strategy.

Cisco Meraki Go is a cloud-based security solution that offers a variety of features to protect your business, such as firewall protection, intrusion detection and prevention, web filtering, and more. Cisco Meraki Go is easy to set up and manage, making it a great choice for small businesses.

Symantec Endpoint Protection is a comprehensive security solution that offers protection against malware, viruses, and other threats. It also includes firewall protection, intrusion prevention, and web filtering. Symantec Endpoint Protection is available in both on-premises and cloud-based versions.

4. Infrastructure security: This type of security focuses on protecting an organization’s physical infrastructure. This can include everything from the network hardware to the servers and workstations. Infrastructure security includes measures such as physical security, access control, and disaster recovery.

5. Internet-of-Thing (IoT) security: Involves the protection of internet-connected devices such as smart TVs, security cameras, and home assistants. IoT security includes measures such as device hardening, strong authentication, and secure data storage.

There are seven types of cyber security threats, which have one thing in common- they all exploit weaknesses in security systems to gain unauthorized access, steal sensitive data or wreak havoc:

1. Malware: They are malicious software designed to disrupt, damage, or gain unauthorized access to a system.

2. Phishing: This is a fraudulent activity in which attackers masquerade as trustworthy entities to obtain sensitive information such as login credentials or financial information.

3. Social Engineering: It is an attack that exploits human psychology rather than technical vulnerabilities.

4. Denial of Service (DoS): Is an attack that renders a system or network unavailable to its intended users by flooding it with requests.

6. Brute Force Attacks: They are attacks that use automated tools to guess passwords or other authentication credentials.

7. Man-in-the-Middle Attacks: They are attacks in which the attacker intercepts and manipulates communications between two parties who believe they are communicating with each other directly.

8. SQL injection: It is an attack that enables attackers to execute malicious SQL code on a database.

9. Cross-Site Scripting (XSS): They inject malicious code into a web page, executing the code by unsuspecting users who visit the page.

10. Buffer Overflow: This attack occurs when more data is written to a buffer than it can hold, resulting in the overwriting of adjacent memory locations.

There are three primary cyber security strategies: prevention, detection, and response.

Prevention Approach

Prevention is the first line of defense against a cyber attack. It includes measures taken to stop an attack from happening in the first place, such as implementing strong password policies and using firewalls. Individual and organization users can also take steps to prevent attacks, such as encrypting their data and being aware of phishing scams.

Detection Approach

Detection is the second line of defense against a cyber attack. Once an attack has occurred, it is important to have systems to detect it as quickly as possible. This includes having intrusion detection systems and activity logging.

Detection systems can be either host-based or network-based. Host-based intrusion detection systems (HIDS) are installed on individual computers and servers, while network-based intrusion detection systems (NIDS) are installed on routers and other network devices.

Activity logging is another important part of detection. This involves keeping track of all activity on a computer or network, including failed login attempts, file changes, and other suspicious activity. This data can be used to identify an attack after it has occurred.

Response Approach

The response is the third line of defense against a cyber attack. It is a critical part of any incident response plan. Once an attack has been detected, it is important to have a plan in place for how to respond. This includes containing the attack, eradicating it, recovering from it, and then improving.

Containment
Containment is the first step in response. This involves isolating the affected systems from the rest of the network to prevent the spread of the attack. Other measures, such as shutting down services and applications, may also be taken.

Eradication
Eradication involves removing the malicious code or activity from the affected systems. This may involve reformatting the hard drive and reinstalling the operating system. Usually, this is done in consultation with a computer forensics expert. At TX Solutions, we are a team of elite computer forensics experts with a robust experience in the field.

Recovery
This involves restoring lost data and getting the affected systems back up and running. Experts may need to be brought in to help with this process.

Improvement
After an attack has occurred, it is important to review the incident and make changes to improve the security of the system. This may involve implementing new security measures or changing existing ones. It is also important to train users to identify and avoid phishing scams and other attacks.
