About this lesson
This video covers the nature of cyber risks—from data breaches to ransomware—and explores how organisations categorise sensitive information as either personal or commercially sensitive. You'll discover the four cybersecurity objectives: availability, confidentiality, integrity of data, and integrity of processing, and understand how they work together to protect business operations and reputation. Relevant to E1 Managing Finance in a Digital World and strategic business modules, this foundation helps you recognise cybersecurity as a business-critical issue that touches every part of the organisation.
