Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting digital systems from unauthorized access, attacks, or damage, safeguarding personal information, financial accounts, and online identity.
Global cybercrime costs are expected to reach $10.5 trillion annually by 2025, with individuals, businesses, and governments all being targets of cyberattacks.
Key principles of cybersecurity include the CIA Triad, guiding the security of personal devices and corporate networks.
Actionable steps to enhance cybersecurity include using strong passwords, enabling two-factor authentication, keeping software updated, being cautious with emails and links, securing Wi-Fi, backing up data, educating about social engineering, and using antivirus software.
