How Do We Define Cybersecurity?
Cybersecurity refers to the practice of protecting computer systems, networks, data, and digital information from unauthorized access, attacks, damage, or theft. It involves implementing measures, protocols, and technologies to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of digital assets, as well as mitigating potential risks and vulnerabilities associated with cyber threats. Cybersecurity aims to safeguard computers, servers, mobile devices, electronic systems, and the interconnected infrastructure against malicious activities such as hacking, malware, data breaches, phishing, and other cybercrimes. Its goal is to establish a secure environment for individuals, organizations, and societies to utilize and interact with digital technologies safely and with confidence.
