What is Cybersecurity?

Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting systems, networks, and data from digital attacks. These “cyberattacks” are usually aimed at accessing, changing, or destroying sensitive information; extorting money from users; or interrupting normal business processes.

Think of it as the digital equivalent of a high-security vault. It isn’t just about one lock; it’s a combination of physical hardware, sophisticated software, and human intelligence working together to keep “the bad guys” out.
