In this fast track world the need of cyber security is increasing rapidly. Now many of us have a question about what is cyber security?

So its basically implementation of technology to protect and secure our devices and data from cyber attacks . The main goal of cyber security is to save our systems from unauthorized access or to make it inaccessible. To understand it even better ,we can say that hacking, identity theft, cyberstalking, online scams are like corona virus, and cyber security is like a vaccination, which is a must for our well being.

So if you are using a mobile application or a website which is infected and that is connected to the main network of the organization, then it will directly have access to your personal data and it will be misused. As a student we can avoid all this, sometimes we get a pop up message on our PC’s or mobile phones that to increase the security of your device click on certain link and then they will ask for your email address and OTP which will be like a helping hand for the hacker, so at primary level it can be avoided easily. We need to be updated about the cyber security system and learn about it in detail, it’s not just for people who are in technical fields, but for every person who owns an electronic device. We need to strengthen the security system and get to know about it’s importance, the biggest challenge we face when it comes to cyber security is qualified personnel , therefore many reputed organizations has started courses in AI, machine learning, Iot and many more, as a student we need to understand that taking interest in this field will open many doors of opportunities and also for the betterment of humankind.
