  Prevention of damage to, protection of, and restoration of computers, electronic communications systems, electronic communications services, wire communication, and electronic communication, including information contained therein, to ensure its availability, integrity, authentication, confidentiality, and nonrepudiation. For example, PNT data is generated by cyber systems. Protection of the devices and systems used to generate PNT data should be considered part of cybersecurity.
