CYBER SECURITY
Information technology security (IT security) is the protection of computer systems from the theft of or damage to their hardware, software, or electronic data, as well as from the disruption or misdirection of the services they proved.
What is Cyber Security?
The field is becoming more important due to increased reliance on computer systems, the Internet[2] and wireless network standards such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, and due to the growth of “smart” devices, including smartphones, televisions, and the various devices that constitute the “Internet of things”. Owing to its complexity, both in terms of politics and technology, cybersecurity is also one of the major challenges in the contemporary world.

One use of the term “computer security” refers to technology that is used to implement secure operating systems. In the 1980s the United States Department of Defense (DoD) used the “Orange Book”[120] standards, but the current international standard ISO/IEC 15408, “Common Criteria” defines a number of progressively more stringent Evaluation Assurance Levels.
Secure coding
Within computer systems, two of many security models capable of enforcing privilege separation are access control lists (ACLs) and capability-based security. Using ACLs to confine programs has been proven to be insecure in many situations, such as if the host computer can be tricked into indirectly allowing restricted file access, an issue known as the confused deputy problem.
Connectivity
In software engineering, secure coding aims to guard against the accidental introduction of security vulnerabilities. It is also possible to create software designed from the ground up to be secure. Such systems are “secure by design”. Beyond this, formal verification aims to prove the correctness of the algorithms underlying a system;[123] important for cryptographic protocols
