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.

Cybersecurity is essential due to increasing cyber threats like malware and phishing.

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.
