### <b>What is Cyber Securtiy?</b>
|
|
"Cyber security is the practice of protecting systems, networks, and programs from digital attacks. These
|
|
cyberattacks are usually aimed at accessing, changing, or destroying sensitive information; extorting money
|
|
from users; or interrupting normal business processes.
|
|
|
|
Implementing effective cyber security measures is particularly challenging today because there are more
|
|
devices than people, and attackers are becoming more innovative." - CISCO<br>
