The 3 Fundamental of Cybersecurity are :
Confidentiality - any important data you have should only be accessible to people or by systems to who you have given permission.
Integrity - the assets themselves and information they contain must continue to be complete, intact and uncorrupted.
Availability - all systems, services and information must be accessible when required by the business or its clients.
To achieve and maintain these goals, good cyber security requires:
Determining the assets that are so important to the business that they need to be kept secured at all times .
