The term cyber is derived from French, meaning "the art of governing". Cyber security as we know is the process of securing software and electronic networks from malicious attacks. Cyber security is a collective phrase and can be divided into different common categories and domains like information security. Most importantly cyber security has become essential for maintaining confidentiality and integrity. Vulnerabilities briefly defined are the backdoors, a weakness in the developed software or IT application that can be exploited to harm our software's integrity and disclose our confidentiality. Cybersecurity deals with these vulnerabilities as they seriously threaten critical information. As for how the security software resolves such issues is that they maintain a database, and a record of vulnerabilities and threats which were previously addressed and resolved, using them as a reference we scrutinize the software thoroughly to know if there are any known vulnerabilities or any other malware of similar origin.
