What is Cyber Security?

Cyber security's core purpose is to protect the devices we all use like laptops, smartphones, tablets and computers and the services we access - both online and at work – from any theft or damage.

It's also about avertingunauthorized access to the huge amounts of personal or confidential information we store on these devices, and on different online storage media’s.

Why is it important?

Cyber security is very important in this digital era because smartphones, computers and the internet are now such a basic part of our modern life that it's challenging to imagine how we'd function without them. From online banking and shopping, to email and social media, it's more important than ever to stake steps that can prevent cyber criminals getting hold of our accounts, confidential data, information and devices.
