Cyber ​​incidents and strategies for their prevention

In today’s digitally connected environment, cyber incidents are becoming increasingly frequent, more sophisticated, and more damaging for both organisations and individuals. Preventing incidents requires a systematic, proactive approach that includes technical, organisational, and educational measures.

The aim of this topic is to explore external literature sources in order to gain a deeper understanding of strategies for preventing future cyber incidents. The focus will be on implementing strong security policies, providing continuous education for all participants in the educational process, regularly testing and assessing security measures, applying advanced data‑protection technologies, and planning and developing procedures for effective incident response.

With the help of the analysed sources, the goal is to build awareness of the importance of cyber resilience and to acquire practical knowledge that will help you recognise threats, improve security practices, and ensure a safe and reliable digital environment.
