Cybersecurity is the practice of defending computers, servers, mobile devices, electronic systems, networks, and data from malicious attacks. It encompasses a range of techniques and strategies designed to protect the integrity of our digital spaces. Whether it’s safeguarding your personal data from identity theft or ensuring that community services run smoothly without disruption, cybersecurity touches every aspect of our digital lives.
