Mk cartoons – Creative people's brains

In recent decades, technology has become an intrinsic part of life. Everything we do is via technology and everything is stored in technology.There is no doubt in the fact that it is an easily accessible and affordable data storing service. However, this also means a growing risk of the data being accessed and misused by someone. In recent times, there have been reportedly high cases of cyber attacks. These have not only occurred on the clouds of private companies but also government websites. Therefore, there are well-developed cyber security services in Singapore.

Cybersecurity and its need:

Cybersecurity is a process that can recover a computer system, services or related programmes after a cyber attack. Once a site is attacked, the files and system can get corrupted and you may not be able to access it. Cybersecurity helps here. Since our society is increasingly becoming dependent on technology, cyber security services in Singapore are important to:

• Avoid economic costs that the organization may have to bear after a breach of its data.
• Avoid data loss. If you are a company that has personal data of the citizens under regulation, any kind of misuse or data loss of people can land you into legal work.
• Avoid damage to your reputation. Well, money loss is something that can still be recovered. However, losing a reputation as a reliable firm can have long term damage.

Witnessing the recent increase in cyber attacks, organizations have started resorting to cybersecurity providers. In Singapore, many security providers are specializing in vulnerability assessment, penetrating test, host hardening, threat modelling, along with many others.
