Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity refers to the practice of protecting systems, networks, and data from digital attacks, unauthorized access, damage, or theft. In the context of human resources, it encompasses the policies, procedures, and technologies implemented to safeguard sensitive employee information, such as personal identification details, payroll data, and health records. Cybersecurity in HR is essential to ensure compliance with data protection regulations, maintain employee trust, and mitigate the risks of breaches that could lead to financial loss or reputational damage. It involves training employees on safe digital practices, implementing security measures like encryption and firewalls, and establishing protocols for responding to potential cyber incidents.
