Collection: Cyber Security

Cybersecurity includes the technologies and processes used to protect digital devices and networks from digital attacks, hacking attempts, and unauthorized access.

What is Mobile App Security?
 

Mobile app security protects data on a mobile device from malicious actors. This includes ensuring that apps are secure during installation, monitoring any suspicious activity, and updating the device with the latest security patches. Mobile app security also involves educating users about identifying and avoiding malicious apps and training them to use two-factor authentication for their accounts. Finally, mobile devices must be updated with the latest security updates, as these updates often contain fixes for newly discovered vulnerabilities.

Building a Cybersecurity Toolkit

Building a cybersecurity toolkit is critical in protecting mobile devices from malicious actors. It should include a variety of tools and resources that allow users to detect and prevent malicious apps and receive updates on the latest security issues. For example, they can use antivirus software, firewalls, and virtual private networks (VPNs) to protect devices connected to the internet. They should also be cautioned against downloading apps from unknown sources and using two-factor authentication for their accounts.

The best course for beginners to begin their cyber security education is CompTIA A+ and/or CompTIA Security+.

The best advanced-level course in Cyber Security is CompTIA Network+ or CISSP.
