“Oh no! The hackers are attacking! What do we do?”
﻿
Cybersecurity is without a doubt, a necessity of the internet. Without cybersecurity, it would be extremely  easy for anyone, even someone with basic knowledge, to gain access to things they aren't suppose to, or to change the original message that is being sent. But what exactly is preventing Hackers, Hacktivists, or cybercriminals from not being able to see confidential information? That is what we will discover, HOW does cybersecurity protect the internet, and the methods that are used in order to do so. Additionally, we will also discover what threats exist, and how people are allowed to get into certain places of the internet. So to requote my previous question.
﻿
“Oh no! The hackers are attacking! What do we do?”
﻿
By the end, you’ll understand the tools, strategies, and best practices to defend against cyber threats, and you’ll know exactly what to do when attacks happen.
