What are the different concepts in cyber security

Cybersecurity is a broad and constantly evolving field, but here are some of the key concepts and areas of focus in cybersecurity: 

1.  Confidentiality: This refers to the protection of sensitive data from unauthorized access. 
     Examples include encryption, access controls, and data classification. 

2.  Integrity: This refers to the protection of data from unauthorized modification.
     Examples include digital signatures, checksums, and version control. 

3.  Availability: This refers to the availability and accessibility of systems and data to authorized users.   
     Examples include redundancy, backups, and disaster recovery planning. 

4.  Authentication: This refers to the process of verifying the identity of a user or system. 
     Examples include passwords, biometrics, and two-factor authentication. 

5. Authorization: This refers to the process of granting access to specific resources based on the user's
                               identity and privileges. 
    Examples include role-based access control and attribute-based access control.

6. Vulnerability management: This refers to the process of identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities 
                                                     in systems and applications. 
    Examples include vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, and patch management. 

7. Incident response: This refers to the process of responding to cybersecurity incidents,
                                     such as breaches or attacks. 
    Examples include incident detection, investigation, and containment. 

8. Threat intelligence: This refers to the process of gathering and analyzing information about
                                       potential  cybersecurity threats.
    Examples include threat modeling, threat hunting, and security information and event management
    (SIEM).

 9. Risk management: This refers to the process of identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks to an
                                       organization's systems and data.
     Examples include risk assessments, risk analysis, and risk treatment planning. 

 These are just some of the key concepts and areas of focus in cybersecurity, and there are many more to explore and understand as you delve deeper into the field.
