Three main types of cyber security
Cloud Security: The obligation to keep the data on the cloud safe, encrypted and hack free is known as cloud security.

Network Security: Whenever the need for cyber security arises, network security always comes to the fore. Because the Internet itself is a network made up of many networks. LAN, WAN and MAN type of network combinations are found in all the organization of the world including India and if one differentiates this network then one can easily get the important data of any organization of the world.As a result numerous network security techniques are used to prevent such malicious activities and secure the network by allowing only authorize users to access the network. Also, network security is monitored for a period of 24*365 to prevent cyber attacks.
Application Security: The concept of application security is usually implemented before the application is launched in the public domain and once the application is launched, efforts are made by organization to keep the application continuously updated and secure by running a 'bug bounty' program.Along with application security, security measures like strong password, two factor authentication and multi factor authentication are followed and encryption matters are also taken care of for the safety of user data.
