 What is Cybersecurity?

A great deal of the work that goes into making the internet a safe place happens behind the scenes. Ever wonder what is keeping your online bank account safe? The answer is Cybersecurity.

Cybersecurity is the protection of servers, data, and computers from unwanted attacks or attempts at access. Similar to how your home has locks or gates to prevent unwanted access; Cybersecurity prevents unwanted access to your online life. You likely have some experience with Cybersecurity with the use of passwords (Or Pass Keys) for online accounts. Those security measures are put in place to ensure only you have access to your important information.
