Cybersecurity › Information Sharing

Cybersecurity is a term used to describe methods and systems for protecting sensitive information in the electronic sphere. As more financial, business, and personal information becomes exclusively maintained and stored electronically, the risks of attacks, leaks, and disclosures become more pronouced. The concept of Cybersecurity encompasses a broad array of issues, including governmental regulations to ward off cyber terrorists, industry data collection and maintenance practices, and consumer advocacy to ensure the privacy of individuals' personal and medical information.
