Cyber Security Fundamentals
What is Cybersecurity?
Cybersecurity is a comprehensive set of measures designed to protect computer systems, networks, and data from unauthorized access, attacks, and damage. In an increasingly digital world, it is essential for ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information.
Why do we need cybersecurity?
Cybersecurity is essential due to increasing cyber threats like malware and phishing. Without it, individuals and organizations risk unauthorized access, financial losses, operational disruption, and reputational damage. Inadequate cybersecurity can result in data breaches, identity theft, and compromised critical systems, posing significant challenges to privacy and overall digital security.
What harm can happen if you don't follow cybersecurity rules?
Let's discover one notable cyber attack in the USA: the 2013 Target data breach.
Hackers gained unauthorized access to Target's computer network, compromising the personal information of around 40 million credit and debit card users. The breach also exposed personal details of over 70 million customers. The incident resulted in financial losses for Target, legal repercussions, and significant damage to its reputation. This case underscores how cyber attacks can have far-reaching consequences for businesses and the individuals they serve.
