What is Cybersecurity?
Cybersecurity is the practice of defending computer systems, networks, and data from malicious digital attacks from internal and external sources. Cybersecurity refers to the body of technologies, processes, and practices designed to protect networks, devices, programs, and data from attack, damage, or unauthorized access. Cybersecurity may also be referred to as information technology security.
Cybersecurity is extremely important because governments, military, corporations, financial, and medical organizations collect, process, and store unprecedented amounts of data on computers and other devices. Attacks may be done to extort money (ransomware) or for data (identity theft as an example). Professionals working in information security face no shortage of challenges. As mentioned earlier, it is one of the hottest areas of employment in information technology today.
