There is no perfect security, physically or electronically; that’s what keeps us employed as security engineers

The world is facing an ever ever-growing and increasingly complex cyber threats, cybersecurity becomes burgeoning concern in the globe; data breaches, phishing scams, ransomware attacks targeting organisations and customers on daily basis, they are resulting from technological vulnerabilities, weak security frameworks, and human errors. This chapter provides an overview of modern cyber security engineering technologies and cybersecurity frameworks.

Security engineering

Security engineering is the practice of designing and implementing systems that remain secure even when faced with malicious attacks, errors, or mishaps. It involves creating hardware and software and produce only the expected results, despite potential threats.

Security and usability

Security and usability are two aspects of interface design that affect how users interact with your system. As a system designer, you take the control over how to balance the security and usability depends on various factors. Usability refers to the ease of use, efficiency, and satisfaction of your users when they use your system. Ideally, you want to design an system that is both secure and convenient to use, but sometimes you may have to compromise or trade off one for the another.
