CYBER SECURITY
                 Security is crucial for modern information systems. Cybersecurity involves protecting computer

                 resources, including networks, devices, programs, and data, from unauthorised access, damage,
                 or attacks.
                 It’s essential to safeguard confidential data and privacy, as well as protect systems from theft or
                 disruption. Unfortunately, cyber crimes are increasing globally due to several factors:
                    Growing use of the Internet
                    Lack of awareness
                    Multi-pronged attacks

                    Existing software loopholes
                    Untrained Internet users
