Cyber Security: Secure Your Network with Intelligence 
 
At present, cyber security is playing a vital role in the digital world and it is also known as a 
standard technology use for the protection of cyber environment of an individual or any 
organization. It is mainly known for security culture which includes user network, drives, 
software process, information storage, application security and system support which is 
directly or indirectly connected to the network. The prime objective of cyber security is to 
reduce continuously growing cyber risks and cyber threats. 
Cyber security technology consists of a collection of tools, policies, security concepts, risk 
management, actions, and training. The technology tracks protected networks, data security 
from data attack, along with cyber security and physical security. The core functionality of 
cyber-security is based on techniques involved protecting information and system from 
cyber threats. 
How Cyber Security came into Existence?   
As with the history, cyber security has huge network background with its own findings and 
technology aspects. In the early 1990s, a research on information security and policy was 
been introduced where information was in the form of accuracy and based on system 
awareness. Under 2016 survey, 70% of the organizations in the US were adopted by US 
Security survey which is comprised of NIFT (National Institute of Standards and Technology) 
Cyber-security framework. 
Origins of Cyber Security Platform 
Cyber security is defined as a package of safety solutions which provides major security 
processes. There are many sectors which are consuming cyber security platform as its major 
functionality for web service network. The fundamentals of cyber security process are, 
1. Application Security 
2. Information Security 
3. Network Security 
4. Operational Security 
5. Application security is covered with technology that measures the feasibility of the 
application by finding, fixing and preventing security exposers. There are different 
techniques which are being used as security platform to emphasize safety at 
different stages of the application cycle. Application cycle includes different 
segments such as design, development, deployment, upgrade, and maintenance. 
The standard of security process is consequently changing and application cycle has 
also a different process with different standardization. 
Techniques used in application security are mainly focused on its exposer of the application 
security. Whitebox security is used for reviewing the source code and noticing security flaws 
of the application through manual functionality. Blackbox security audit is used for testing 
security functions where source code is not needed. 
Design review is used as an application of threat model, and works before the code is 
written. And Tooling is the technique which includes automated tools that test security 
flaws with higher positive rate. 
2. Information security is a core source of information which is confidential, integrated 
and easily available. The primary focus of this security process is to the stable data 
protection while maintaining a focus on efficient policy application. Risk 
management process is achieved by identifying assets, threat sources, and 
vulnerabilities and is also followed by the effectiveness of the risk management plan. 
Information security mainly works on confidential information which is highly 
entitled to the process. 
3. Network security sets a variety of computer networks, used in both public and 
private sector. It also includes conducting transactions and build communications 
among businesses, government agencies, and individuals. All networks are divided 
into two sections, private network and public network. 
Private networking is used within the company and public network access relates to the 
open source network. This security culture is highly involved in most of the companies, 
enterprises, and other types of institutions. It is mainly used for protecting and overseeing 
the operations. The network resource is relatively protected by assigning a unique name 
and a corresponding password. The process is concerned with authentication of username 
and password which implements its security concept. 
4. Operational security is a process that identifies information which is critical and easy 
to determine by competitor intelligence. It protects individual piece of data that 
could be grouped together to give a proper set of information. It includes critical 
information essential for military commanders, senior leaders, and higher 
management. The whole process also includes technical and non-technical measures 
such as, use of email encryption software, taking precautions against spying data and 
securing confidential information not to be shared on social media platform. 
Operational security is a five-step process which assists any organization to specify required 
information, 
1. Identification of critical information 
2. Analysis of threats 
3. Analysis of Vulnerabilities 
4. Assessment of Risk. 
Securing Organization Processes 
Cyber security process plays a crucial role to impact information security of the 
organization. It also explores the "Relationship between Organization Culture and 
Information Security Culture" and contributes into the organization's protection as well as 
maintains all kind of information. Security process is a never-ending process in which 
information is used as a resource tool to manage statistics security culture. 
The security process served five-step processes including pre-evaluation, strategic planning, 
operative planning, and implementation. The pre-evaluation process identifies the 
awareness of information security within employees in the organization.  Strategic 
Planning offers healthier awareness program where target gets sets according to the 
grouping of people. Operative Planning provides good security process which can be 
established based on internal communication, security awareness, and a training 
program. Implementation is four stage process used as security process to implement 
information. The process is used for management, communication with organizational 
members, and current employees. 
Enhancing Future with Cyber Security 
Cyber security is aggressively contributing to the IT field concerned with reducing 
organization's risk and data break. According to research in 2016, 46% of organizations carry 
"problematic shortage" of cyber security, and is increased by 28% compared to 2015. Also, 
government, commercial and non-governmental organizations use cyber security for better 
and secure platform. 
The demand for cyber security is increasing rapidly as professional security worker in all 
industries are managing the volume of consumer data of finance, healthcare, and retail. 
However, the use of the term "cyber security" is more popular in all industrial areas that will 
help organizations with security process culture. 
Conclusion 
Cyber security is equally important for local, state, and central government as these 
organizations maintains a huge amount of confidential data and records concerning the 
country and its citizens. Yet there are many government and commercial organizations that 
face difficulties in protecting the confidential data due to lack of inadequate secured 
infrastructure, and lack of security awareness.
