Cyber security
Cyber security is how individuals and organisations reduce the risk of a cyber attack. The main focus is to protect devices and services from theft or damage. Whereas information security aims to protect both digital and physical information, cyber security only focuses on digital protection (National Cyber Security Centre, n.d).
