Cyber security is the application of technologies, processes, and controls to protect systems, networks, programs, devices and data from cyber attacks. It aims to reduce the risk of cyber attacks and protect against the unauthorised exploitation of systems, networks, and technologies.

Cybersecurity is important because it protects sensitive data from theft, prevents financial losses from breaches, maintains trust and reputation, ensures compliance with regulations, supports business continuity, and mitigates evolving cyber threats. It's essential for safeguarding both personal information and critical infrastructure.

Cybersecurity encompasses the practices, technologies, and processes designed to protect systems, networks, and data from cyber threats. Here's a deeper dive into its main aspects:

Cyber Security Importance points -

1-  Protection of Sensitive Data: Safeguards personal, financial, and confidential business information from unauthorized access and breaches.

2-  Prevention of Cyber Attacks: Helps defend against threats like malware, ransomware, and phishing attacks that can compromise systems and data.

2-  Maintaining Trust: Builds customer and stakeholder trust by ensuring that their information is secure, which is vital for business reputation.

4-  Regulatory Compliance: Ensures adherence to laws and regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, and others, avoiding legal penalties and fines.

5-  Operational Continuity: Minimizes downtime and disruptions caused by cyber incidents, ensuring that business operations run smoothly.

6-  Cost Savings: Preventing data breaches and cyber incidents can save organizations significant costs related to recovery, legal fees, and lost revenue.


These points underscore the importance of a robust cybersecurity strategy in today's digital landscape.
