Importance of cybersecurity

 Cybersecurity is a set of preventive actions to prevent cyber attacks on devices. With this, it assists information security (which has a more strategic bias), operationalizing technical development actions to mitigate failures.


With the emergence of IoTs and the constant evolution of technological devices involved in people's daily lives , cyber security is essential for companies to guarantee the confidentiality, integrity and availability of their information .


But it is inevitable to remember that, in personal life, cybersecurity also plays an important role.


Educating people about the precautions needed to prevent an attack can protect adults and children from dangerous and scary situations.


Top cybersecurity threats

Cybersecurity prevents cyber attacks. The most common types, for example to clarify understanding, are:


Virus

The virus is a program that, when executed, is able to infect all computers connected on the same network, stealing data, corrupting files and sending spam to e-mail contacts (amplifying the attack), or even controlling the computer completely. .


Worms

Older, worms arrive as attachments to an email. Unlike the virus, it does not need any user action (except opening the email).


Adware

Have you ever entered a suspicious website and skipped several commercial ads on the screen? Or, before you start that pirated movie, do you open a screen asking you to install a program to allow the movie to play?
