Cybersecurity is the practice of defending computers, servers, mobile devices, electronic systems, networks, and data from malicious attacks. It is also known as information technology security or electronic information security. Cybersecurity refers to all aspects of protecting an organization and its employees and assets against cyberthreats. As cyberattacks become more common and sophisticated and corporate networks become more complex, diverse cybersecurity solutions are required to mitigate corporate cyber risk.
If you're doing something online (homework, shopping, banking, or connecting with friends), it's important to think about cybersecurity.
