Cybersecurity involves protecting computers, networks, data, and digital systems against unauthorized access, attacks, or damage. It comprises a variety of processes, technologies, and systems, to protect sensitive information from cyber threats like hacking, malware, phishing and ransomware.
In other words, cybersecurity acts as a digital barrier, preventing cybercriminals from taking advantage of weaknesses in your systems. It supports confidentiality (keeping data confidential), integrity (keeping data correct), and availability (keeping systems available when needed).
With the growth of cloud computing, remote work, and AI tools, the need for strong cybersecurity has never been greater. Companies, governments and individuals all use cybersecurity to protect financial data, personal data, and intellectual property.
