Cyber Security

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.
