Cybersecurity is the discipline dedicated to actively protecting computer systems, networks, programs, and data from cyber threats, including unauthorized access, attacks, damage, or theft. The need for robust digital measures has become critical as individuals, businesses, and governments rely on digital resources to handle sensitive information and maintain operational integrity.
Cybersecurity involves a wide range of practices, tools, and technologies aimed at protecting computer systems. It involves safeguarding not just hardware and software but also data integrity, confidentiality, and availability.
The field of cybersecurity is extensive and diverse, incorporating elements of information technology (IT), network security, application security, operational security, risk management, and incident response, among others.
