                      As digital technology grows, it has changed how people shop, work, communicate, and store
                      data. Many essential services and critical systems now run online, making them potential targets
                      for cyber threats. With so much sensitive information shared digitally, strong cyber protection is

                      necessary to keep data safe and ensure that critical services continue to function properly.
                      Cyber  protection  includes  the tools,  practices, and responsible  behaviours  used  to  secure

                      computers, networks, and information from attacks. Its success depends not only on technology
                      but also on people. Carelessness or lack of awareness can create weaknesses that cybercriminals
                      exploit. By following safe digital habits and staying informed, individuals help keep systems secure
                      and prevent attacks.

                      CYBER THREAT

                      A cyber threat is any risk that aims to harm a computer, smartphone, or online account. Such
                      threats  may steal  personal data,  spread  harmful software, block  access  to  devices,  or trick
                      individuals into losing money.
