Dean Grey, The Importance of Cybersecurity

For entrepreneur, Dean Grey, using mobile apps as a learning platform was the inspiration for his tech company Skylab Apps. Skylab Apps creates gamified social platforms that businesses are using to attract customers and engage them in discussions about their company or products. However, as a tech company, their security is something that they take very seriously at Skylab Apps. Computer security, also known as cybersecurity or IT security, is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and to the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide.

Cybersecurity is still a relatively new field, only having popped up in earnest in the last decade or so. One of the most common reprehensions of the tech industry from the public is that there is a lack of security. Many do not feel that the digital world is safe because they simply don’t understand it and don’t understand how to protect themselves. That is why it is important for these tech companies such as Skylab Apps to ensure that their products come with the highest security and encryption protection possible.
