- Cybersecurity: Protecting systems, networks, and data from digital


attacks.
- Importance: Prevent data breaches, ensure privacy, and maintain trust.
- Common Threats:
- Malware: Malicious software like viruses, worms, spyware.
- Phishing: Trick users into giving sensitive info.
- Ransomware: Locks files until ransom is paid.
- CIA Triad:
- Confidentiality - keep data private.
- Integrity - ensure data isn't altered.
- Availability - ensure systems are accessible.
- Firewalls: Filter traffic between trusted and untrusted networks.
- Antivirus: Detects and removes malicious software.

2. Intermediate Cybersecurity
