Cybersecurity Types

  • Security Analysis: The process of analyzing and assessing the security of a system, network, or application to identify vulnerabilities and potential weaknesses that could be exploited by cybercriminals.
  • Penetration Testing / Ethical Hacking: A form of security analysis that involves simulating an attack on a system, network, or application to identify vulnerabilities and potential weaknesses that could be exploited by cybercriminals. This is typically done with the permission and cooperation of the system owner, and is also known as ethical hacking.
  • Security Engineering: The practice of designing and building secure systems, networks, and applications that are resistant to cyber attacks and other security threats.
  • Incident Response: The process of responding to a security incident, including identifying and containing the attack, assessing the damage, and restoring normal operations as quickly as possible.
  • Security Consulting: The practice of providing expert advice and guidance to organizations on a range of security-related issues, including risk management, compliance, and incident response.
  • Cybersecurity Management: The practice of managing an organization's cybersecurity program, including developing policies and procedures, training employees, and overseeing the implementation of security measures.
  • Security Architecture: The design and structure of an organization's security systems, including hardware, software, and network architecture.
  • Risk Assessment and Management: The process of identifying, analyzing, and prioritizing potential security risks to an organization, and developing strategies to mitigate those risks.
  • Vulnerability Assessment and Management: The process of identifying, assessing, and prioritizing vulnerabilities in an organization's systems, networks, and applications, and developing strategies to mitigate those vulnerabilities.
  • Compliance and Auditing: The practice of ensuring that an organization is in compliance with industry regulations and standards related to cybersecurity, and conducting audits to assess the effectiveness of the organization's security measures.
  • Security Operations Center (SOC) Analyst / Engineer: A security professional responsible for monitoring an organization's security systems and networks for potential threats, and responding to security incidents as they occur.
  • Network Security: The practice of securing an organization's network infrastructure, including firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDPS), and secure remote access.
  • Cloud Security: The practice of securing an organization's cloud-based data and networks, including cloud access security brokers (CASB), cloud encryption, and secure cloud gateways.
  • Application Security: The practice of securing an organization's applications, including web applications, mobile applications, and desktop applications, against cyber attacks and other security threats.
  • Endpoint Security: The practice of securing an organization's endpoints (e.g. laptops, desktops, mobile devices) against cyber attacks, including antivirus, antimalware, and endpoint detection and response (EDR).
  • Data Security: The practice of securing an organization's data, including encryption, data loss prevention (DLP), and backup and recovery.
  • Identity and Access Management (IAM): The practice of managing user access and permissions to systems, applications, and data, including single sign-on (SSO), multi-factor authentication (MFA), and privileged access management (PAM).
  • Mobile Security: The practice of securing mobile devices used by employees, including mobile device management (MDM), mobile application management (MAM), and mobile threat defense (MTD).
  • Industrial Control Systems (ICS): ICS are computerized systems that are used to control and monitor industrial processes, including manufacturing, power generation, and transportation. These systems are often critical to the functioning of the infrastructure they support and can be vulnerable to cyber attacks that could result in physical harm or damage.
  • Supervisory Control: SCADA is a type of ICS that is used to monitor and control industrial processes.
  • Data Acquisition (SCADA) Security: The practice of securing ICS and SCADA systems, which are used to control and monitor critical infrastructure such as power grids, water treatment plants, and transportation systems.
  • Internet of Things (IoT) Security: The practice of securing IoT devices and networks, including IoT device management, IoT security monitoring, and IoT vulnerability assessment.
