Cybersecurity refers to the practice of protecting computer systems, networks, devices, and data from unauthorized access, cyberattacks, and other digital threats. It encompasses various technologies, processes, and practices aimed at ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information and resources in cyberspace. Cybersecurity measures include implementing robust security measures such as firewalls, encryption, antivirus software, intrusion detection systems, and access controls, as well as conducting regular security assessments, audits, and training programs to mitigate risks and vulnerabilities. With the proliferation of digital technologies and the increasing interconnectedness of systems and devices, cybersecurity has become a critical concern for organizations, governments, and individuals worldwide, as cyberattacks continue to evolve and become more sophisticated.

- Snippet from Wikipedia: Computer security
Computer security (also cybersecurity, digital security, or information technology (IT) security) is a subdiscipline within the field of information security. It focuses on protecting computer software, systems and networks from threats that can lead to unauthorized information disclosure, theft or damage to hardware, software, or data, as well as from the disruption or misdirection of the services they provide.
The growing significance of computer insecurity reflects the increasing dependence on computer systems, the Internet, and evolving wireless network standards. This reliance has expanded with the proliferation of smart devices, including smartphones, televisions, and other components of the Internet of things (IoT).
As digital infrastructure becomes more embedded in everyday life, cybersecurity has emerged as a critical concern. The complexity of modern information systems—and the societal functions they underpin—has introduced new vulnerabilities. Systems that manage essential services, such as power grids, electoral processes, and finance, are particularly sensitive to security breaches.
Although many aspects of computer security involve digital security, such as electronic passwords and encryption, physical security measures such as metal locks are still used to prevent unauthorized tampering. IT security is not a perfect subset of information security, therefore does not completely align into the security convergence schema.
