                        1.                  is a collection of technologies, controls, procedures and policies designed to
                            protect data, applications and infrastructure

                        2.                  computing represents a major potential shift in future cybersecurity.
                        3.                  attacks involve hackers locking data or systems and demanding money to
                            release them.

                      A UNITED FRONT: GLOBAL COLLABORATION IN CYBERSECURITY

                      Cybercrime does not stop at a country’s borders. Since the Internet connects the entire world, a
                      hacker operating from one country can easily attack computers or networks in another. Because
                      of this, fighting cybercrime requires global cooperation. Just like countries work together to solve
                      worldwide issues such as climate change or pandemics, they must also collaborate to keep the
                      digital world secure.

                      Countries participate in international platforms, such as the United Nations (UN) and INTERPOL’s
                      cybercrime programs to discuss and establish norms for responsible behaviour in cyberspace.

                      They work on forming international cyber laws, agreements and frameworks that help identify,
                      investigate and take action against cybercriminals regardless of where they are located.
                      Additionally, nations and their cybersecurity agencies regularly share threat intelligence. When
                      a country detects a new virus, ransomware strain or unique hacking technique, it immediately

                      informs other nations. This helps everyone stay alert, improve their defences and respond quickly
                      to emerging cyber threats.
