Cybersecurity encompasses the technologies, processes, and practices designed to protect networks, devices, programs, and data from attack, damage, or unauthorized access. It includes preventive measures like encryption, access controls, and firewalls, as well as detective measures like intrusion detection systems and monitoring. In software development, cybersecurity involves secure coding practices, vulnerability assessments, compliance with standards like SOC2 and HIPAA, and implementing defense-in-depth strategies. Modern applications must consider security throughout the development lifecycle.
