What is Cyber Security

Cyber Security refers to the principles, practices, and technologies that support secure and responsible engagement in online environments. It encompasses the protection of personal information, the safeguarding of digital identities, and the prevention of unauthorised access to data and systems. Effective digital safety also involves recognising and mitigating risks such as phishing attempts, malware, identity theft, misinformation, and other forms of online harm.

In addition to technical protections, Cyber Security includes informed decision-making understanding how data is collected and used, evaluating the credibility of online content, and managing one’s digital footprint. By applying these measures consistently, individuals and organisations can maintain the confidentiality, integrity, and reliability of their digital activities while reducing exposure to potential threats.
