What Is Digital Security?
Digital security is the set of best practices and tools that safeguard your online identity, such as password managers, antivirus software and parental controls. It also encompasses strategies to help protect sensitive information, including the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act limiting the disclosure of financial data and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act protecting medical records.
Companies and individuals collect enormous amounts of data on a daily basis. Managing and protecting this data effectively is not just important for digital security, it’s often a legal requirement under laws such as POPIA or GDPR in South Africa, the UK or Europe.
Cyber attacks can take many forms, from phishing scams and ransomware to malware, cryptojacking, DDoS (distributed denial of service) attacks and formjacking, which injects malicious code into web pages. Attacks can result in a variety of impacts, including financial losses and damage to business reputation.
