No ☐
No ☐
    A.
Critical infrastructure in cybersecurity describes cyber and physical system debilitating the impact on economic and physical security. It is the area of concern that surrounds the protection of network, assets and system with continuous operation according to demand for the system.
B. In the communication sector, the use of edge devices, end user services and core network elements can be the target of hackers. It is important to provide protection to highly sensitive information like financial data, address and name. It also targets the house of router from internet service provider.
In the financial sector, cyber security is requiring for avoiding backdoor hacking. This can be the concern and it can help in providing better communication. It is required for protecting from DDoS attacks that can increase the bandwidth during the process of transaction. It can help in avoiding critical vulnerability.
C. It is the area of concern for protecting the network, assets and system for continuous operation that is deemed necessary for ensuring security of the given economy. It can help in avoiding security issues and it can be the effort for providing security along with saving the infrastructure from random attacks.
