Cyber security is defined as the collection of tools, policies, security concepts, security safeguards, guidelines, risk management approaches, actions, training, best practices, assurance, and technologies that can be used to protect the member organization's information assets against internal and external threats. 
 
The general security objectives comprise the following: 
 
Confidentiality - Information assets are accessible only to those authorized to have access (i.e., protected from unauthorized disclosure or (un)intended leakage of sensitive data).
 
Integrity - Information assets are accurate, complete and processed correctly (i.e., protected from unauthorized modification, which may include authenticity and non-repudiation).
 
Availability - Information assets are resilient and accessible when required (i.e., protected from unauthorized disruption).
