Introduction
This presentation explores the concept of
cybersecurity, its importance in protecting data
and systems, the types of cyber threats we face,
and practical ways to stay safe online. Real-world
examples of cyberattacks and emerging trends
will highlight the growing need for strong
cybersecurity measures.
What is
cybersecurity?
Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting computers,
networks, and data from unauthorized access,
attacks, or damage. It involves using tools,
techniques, and policies to prevent cyber threats like
hacking or malware. The goal is to keep sensitive
information safe and ensure systems work properly.
Why is it important?
Protects Personal Information – Keeps sensitive data like
passwords, bank details, and personal files safe from hackers.
Prevents Financial Loss – Avoids costs from fraud, ransomware, or
recovery after a cyberattack.
Ensures Privacy – Stops unauthorized access to private
communications and data.
Safeguards Businesses – Protects companies from data breaches
that can harm their reputation and operations.
Defends Critical Systems – Helps secure essential services like
healthcare, banking, and national infrastructure from cyber threats

sensitive information like passwords or credit card numbers.
