Cyber security refers to technologies and processes designed to protect computers, networks, and data from unauthorized access and cyber attacks. It addresses issues like data protection, prevention of unauthorized access, and safeguarding from viruses. Cybercrime involves criminal acts using computers and the internet, such as hacking, phishing, credit card fraud, and child pornography. Major security problems include illegal access, interference with systems or data, fraud, and misuse of devices. Cyber security associations and government bodies work to address these issues and develop best practices. Careers in cyber security are growing and involve roles like security analyst, engineer, architect, and administrator.
