Cyber security are tools and technologies that help protect
computers, computer programs and networks from unauthorized access and
modification. It is very important in the modern world. Nowadays, the majority
of the people have their personal information stored in the internet, including
their credit card number, address and phone number. If a website, like say Amazon or EBay, was
hacked, hundreds of thousands of its users' personal information could be
exposed to the hackers.
Cyber security is extremely important in businesses. If a
company's network was hacked, it could
losing tens of thousands of dollars because of its data loss.
A country's safety also involves cyber security. It prevents the
attacker from attacking the country's important information in regard to its national security.

When cyber security was first introduced in the 90s, it
wasn't being focused upon by people as it is now. Twenty years ago, the cyber
attacks were mostly done by amateur hackers, but now the most of the hackers
are a part of an organization and are
professional. The demand for cyber security is much higher now.
It is very important to utilize
cyber security as it will protect you from cyber crimes. There are many
antivirus and antimalware software available for free on the internet.
