Description
Overview
Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting computer systems, networks, and data from unauthorized access, attacks, damage, or theft. It’s a critical field in our increasingly digital world, as businesses and individuals store and transmit sensitive information online. The field of cybersecurity encompasses a wide range of practices, tools, and methodologies aimed at ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information. Ethical hacking, also known as penetration testing or white-hat hacking, involves simulating cyberattacks to identify vulnerabilities in systems, applications, and networks. The goal is to find and fix security weaknesses before malicious hackers can exploit them.
