3. WHAT IS CYBER SECURITY?
• Cyber security, also known as information technology
security (IT security), is the practice of protecting systems,
networks, and programs from digital attacks.
• It uses technologies, processes, and practices to protect
against damage, attack, or unauthorized access to devices,
programs, networks, and data.

4. THREE PILLARS OF CYBER SECURITY
• People are the key components to consider when
you administer and protect a company or
individual’s assets by driving the cyber security
process, from multiple angles.
• Process and policy help provide the framework for
governance and also define procedures that can be
measured over time.
• Technology is the hardware and software that
departments use to achieve reliable cyber security.
They are the mechanisms IT people build processes
around to prevent compromises to an IT
infrastructure.

5. KEY CONCEPTS OF CYBER SECURITY
• Confidentiality refers to processes organizations
take to protect data from unauthorized use. This
helps keep sensitive information secure.
• Integrity has to do with maintaining accurate
and complete information by protecting it from
unauthorized alterations.
• Availability, covers data's accessibility to
authorized viewers. This means that those who
have the authority to view or change information
can do so.

16. CONCLUSION
Demographic Information:
• Age: The majority of respondents fall within the 18-24 age group, followed by
25-34 and 35-44.
• Education Level: Most respondents have at least a Bachelor's degree.
• Employment Status: The respondents include students, employed individuals,
and a few unemployed and retired individuals.
Cybersecurity Awareness:
• Most respondents use the internet multiple times a day and are confident in
recognizing phishing emails.
• However, a significant portion has not received formal cybersecurity training,
indicating potential gaps in knowledge and awareness.
• While many respondents use strong, unique passwords, a notable number are
not familiar with or do not use two-factor authentication (2FA).

17. Security Practices:
• A considerable percentage of respondents have not experienced a cyber
attack or data breach, and were nor very much aware about it.
• Regular data backup practices vary among respondents, with some backing
up data weekly or more frequently, while others do so rarely or never.
• Precautions taken when using public Wi-Fi vary, with some always using a
VPN and others not taking specific precautions and some don’t even know
what kind of tool a VPN is.
General Perception:
• Respondents generally express varying levels of concern about online
privacy and security, with some being very concerned and others less so.
• Sources relied upon for cybersecurity information include social media,
news websites, and online security blogs. Some are dependant on friends
and family.

18. Online Behavior:
• Many respondents admit to using the same password across multiple online
accounts, indicating a potential security risk.
Knowledge Assessment:
• Knowledge of identifying secure websites and actions to take when suspecting
malware infection is very poor among most respondents.
Emergency Preparedness:
• Knowledge about steps to take in the event of a cybersecurity incident varies
among respondents, with some having a plan and others being unsure.
Education and Awareness:
• Respondents have different sources of learning about cybersecurity best practices,
including school, workplace training, self-research, and friends and family.
• Perceptions about the effectiveness of current educational efforts vary.
Future Concerns:
• Respondents express varying levels of concern about the increasing use of
artificial intelligence and its potential impact on cybersecurity.
• Views on the future of online security also vary, with some expecting
improvement and others expressing uncertainty and some are not sure that how it
will impact them.

19. The data shows that only handful amount of people are doing well with
cybersecurity, but others and most of them need to improve a lot. We
should teach different groups how to stay safe online through targeted
campaigns. Since cyber threats keep changing, we need to keep learning
and updating our security measures. By doing this, we can better protect
ourselves and make the internet safer for everyone. This can be done with
the efforts of each and every individual.
By combining proactive education efforts with vigilant monitoring and
adaptation, organizations and individuals can better protect themselves
against cybersecurity threats and contribute to a safer online environment
for everyone.
