What are common types of cybersecurity threats?
Common threats include malware, phishing attacks, ransomware, social engineering, and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. These threats can cause significant damage to systems and data if not properly managed.
How can I protect myself from cyber threats?
Basic measures include using strong, unique passwords, enabling two-factor authentication, keeping software up to date, avoiding suspicious emails and links, and regularly backing up your data.
What career opportunities are there in cybersecurity?
Cybersecurity offers a wide range of career paths, including roles such as security analyst, ethical hacker, security consultant, incident responder, and more. These roles involve protecting organizations from cyber threats and ensuring data security.
