CIT410: Introduction to Cyber Forensics
Both professionals and governments have increasingly utilized the term "Cyber Security" over the last several years. As with many modern slang expressions, there seems to be little understanding of what the phrase implies in actuality. Using the term casually won't cause any complications; using it for business purposes, though, or in agreements with other governments across the globe may.
