    A Modern Necessity

                                        “Read the story of Megha, a class 8 student who excels in her studies.”

                     One morning, when Megha wakes up, she immediately checks her phone. She replies to her friend’s
                     message, then opens a social media app. There she clicks on a link to a “free game” her friend sent
                     her. By the afternoon, strange messages start going out from her social media account to all her

                     friends, and she is no longer able to log in.
                     Does this sound familiar? The above could happen to anyone: you, your friends, or even your
                     parents. In today’s interconnected society, the digital world has become an essential part of our

                     daily life. Whether we are checking emails in the morning or making online payments at night, digital
                     interactions take place continuously. With this convenience also comes an important challenge,
                     which is the need to protect our data, privacy, identity, devices, and systems from digital threats.
                     Cybersecurity  has  therefore  become  a  vital  field  for everyone,  including  governments,  large
                     organisations, and individual users who depend on smartphones, laptops, and cloud services.

                                                                                                   A Modern Necessity  7
