Cyber TSCM
Cyber TSCM
So….there’s a new buzz word in the TSCM marketplace. CYBER TSCM. Let’s look at what this new buzzword is all about.
We all know what Cyber Security is right? Well, according to Kaspersky the definition looks like this:
“Cyber-security is the practice of defending computers, servers, mobile devices, electronic systems, networks, and data from malicious attacks.”
Great….So what is TSCM?
“The protection of protectively marked, commercially sensitive or private information from hostile gathering by technical attack methods leading to loss or unauthorised disclosure of data or information, through the detection, identification, location and denial of technical surveillance attacks.”
Technical is the key word in that.
TECHNICAL = Involving or concerned with applied and industrial sciences.
So, a method concerning applied and industrial sciences thereafter used to defend servers, mobile devices, electronic systems, networks and data from malicious attack. That’s the whole definition using those mixed sources.
Confused?
Well I wouldn’t blame you if you were. There seems to be a myriad of suppliers now popping up from the lower end of the security industry, making a whole host of miraculous claims in CYBER TSCM, most preying on potential client’s fears.
