Study Domain Focus: Cyber Security

CyberSecurity is defined as the art and science of protecting communication and data transfer via the Internet media so that properly authorized persons and organizations can share data in a secure environment. Considering the web-like structure of the Internet, CyberSecurity includes the security of the data and the transfers at the origin and destination and at every intermediate junction or transfer point. CyberSecurity is closely allied with digital forensics which is the science of tracking and solving crimes after they are perpetrated. CyberSecurity is associated with legal defenses in a relatively loose way as the global nature of the Internet makes it almost impossible for any one country to bring to justice violators of CyberSecurity in another country.
