Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity refers to the protection of digital devices, networks, and data from unauthorized access, theft, damage, and other malicious activities. Cybersecurity measures are implemented to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of digital assets. With the increasing reliance on technology, cybersecurity has become a critical issue for individuals, organizations, and governments worldwide.

Cybersecurity encompasses a range of strategies and practices, including network security, endpoint security, application security, data security, and cloud security. It involves identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities and threats to digital assets through various measures, such as firewalls, antivirus software, intrusion detection and prevention systems, access controls, and encryption.

Cybersecurity also includes education and awareness programs to train users on safe digital practices and to prevent social engineering attacks, such as phishing and pretexting. Cybersecurity professionals, such as ethical hackers, security analysts, and incident responders, play a crucial role in implementing and maintaining cybersecurity measures to protect against cyber threats.
