I strongly believe knowledge is a priceless attribute for any individual. In my opinion knowledge in any form is a blessing but needs to be shaped in the right way. This section covers the main domains within cybersecurity with some information around each domain. These include Security operations, security architecture, threat intelligence, risk management, frameworks and standards.

Each domain is analogous to the organs of a human body. Though the brain might end up controlling the entire body, every organ plays a key role in the normal functioning. Similarly, all these domains have a pivotal role to play and equally important for an efficient security. For cybersecurity, to be a successful factor for safeguarding information, all these departments have to function efficiently and communicate effectively.

I was scrolling through some articles when I came across a cybersecurity map which can be considered as a visual representation of almost all domains in the cybersecurity world. Based on the mind map, I’ve tried to compose the knowledge base.

“Real knowledge is to know the extent of one’s ignorance.” Confucius

“Share your knowledge. It is a way to achieve immortality.” Dalai Lama
