General Information about Cybersecurity for Meeting Planners and Prospective Clients.

Cybersecurity – also known as computer security or IT security – is the protection of computers or internet networks from attacks, information disclosures, data theft, or software/hardware damage caused by various individuals, organizations, or even automated computer programs. Since the emergence of the Internet, there has been an increasing number of various types of cyberattacks, such as phishing, backdoor, eavesdropping, spoofing, malware, and multi-vector or polymorphic attacks. Due to the fact that individuals, businesses, industries, and governments are increasingly dependent upon digital tools, the risks associated with cyberattacks have increased exponentially in the past years.

Nowadays, cybersecurity is necessary for all individuals, businesses, and organizations that are using digital devices connected to the internet. Since many cyberattacks are automated and aim to exploit common vulnerabilities such as personal data visibility, rather than to target specific websites or organizations, cybersecurity is becoming a critical issue for society at large.

The General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018 require organizations to implement adequate security measures in order to protect the personal data of their employees. Many organizations are now intent on building a robust cybersecurity culture through regular training to increase personnel awareness, as well as the acquisition of state-of-the-art protective devices and software.
