About this lesson
This video covers the four key objectives of cyber security—availability, confidentiality, integrity of data, and integrity of processing—and explores the main threats your organisation faces, including malware, DDoS attacks, and social engineering. You'll also discover the practical defences you can implement, from policies and firewalls to encryption and business continuity planning, and understand how best practice frameworks like ISO 27001 help manage cyber risk effectively. This is essential material for P3 Risk Management, where cyber security accounts for 25% of the marks. Understanding how to balance security with business needs, recognise different types of threats, and explain the controls that protect organisational data will strengthen your exam answers and prepare you for real-world risk management conversations at board level.
