Cybersecurity is the art of protecting networks, devices, and data from unauthorized access or criminal use and the practice of ensuring confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information. It seems that everything relies on computers and the internet now—communication (e.g., email, smartphones, tablets), entertainment (e.g., interactive video games, social media, apps ), transportation (e.g., navigation systems), shopping (e.g., online shopping, credit cards), medicine (e.g., medical equipment, medical records), and the list goes on.

Sometimes these are combined to be "Purple" team, where you are acting as an internal resource to both identify and exploit vulnerabilities and implementing or collaborating with others to implement remediations to prevent these attacks.

Under these areas there is a huge list of specialty areas that you should be familiar with. Those areas include (Source):

  • Cloud Security
  • Data loss Prevention
  • Application Security
  • Incident Response and Forensic Analysis
  • Network Defense
  • Endpoint Protection
  • Penetration Testing
  • Internet of Things (IoT) Security
