                               A cyber threat is any risk that aims to harm a computer, smartphone, or online account.
                               Understanding  different types  of cyber  threats  helps in preventing, preparing for,  and
                                responding to attacks more effectively.
                                Malware is  malicious  software  intentionally  developed  to  infiltrate,  damage,  or disrupt
                                computer systems without the user’s informed consent.
                                Social Engineering is a psychological manipulation technique used to deceive individuals into
                                divulging confidential or sensitive information.
                                Protection against cyber attacks refers to methods, tools, and practices that safeguard digital
                                devices, networks, data, and online services from unauthorised access, misuse, damage, or
                                disruption.
                                Cyber attackers use various techniques such as malware, phishing, ransomware, and social
                                engineering to exploit weaknesses in systems.
