"The future of cybersecurity"

"Cybersecurity, also known as IT security, is the practice of defending computers, servers, mobile devices, electronic systems, networks, and data from malicious attacks. It's also known as information technology security or electronic information security. The term applies in a variety of contexts, from business to mobile computing, and can be divided into a few common categories."

"Malware is software designed to gain unauthorized access to computer systems, while ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts a user's files and demands payment to restore access. Phishing is a type of cyber-attack that involves tricking people into giving up their personal information, while hacking involves gaining unauthorized access to a computer system or network."

"Cybersecurity is important because governments, military, corporations, financial institutions, hospitals, and other businesses collect, process, and store unprecedented amounts of data on computers and other devices. A significant portion of that data can be sensitive information, whether that be intellectual property, financial data, personal information, or other types of data for which unauthorized access or exposure could have negative consequences."
