This is the first introduction of "Cyber Security" in the series of knowledge sharing articles to be published. A year has gone by under the fear of systems being affected and servers being hijacked due to  ransomware . Not merely fear of safeguarding our own infrastructure was running on our minds but the thought of  " what if our customers are affected ?  " did bother us.
