Cybersecurity is like the digital armor for your online presence; it's a set of techniques and practices designed to protect networks, devices, programs, and data from attack or unauthorized access. Its purpose is to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information, which is crucial because let's face it, nobody wants their personal details broadcasted on the evening news or their bank account emptied by a stranger. In our hyper-connected world where data is as valuable as currency, cybersecurity keeps the bad guys out and lets you sleep a little easier at night.
