Description:

There is no question that our daily lives are digitized at every level. We engage with technology when shopping, working, studying, tracking our health, managing money, developing social connections, and even using kitchen & home smart appliances! Can you think of all the ways that digitization influences your day-to-day living?

However, despite the proliferation of technology in our personal and professional lives, most of these technologies are not safe from criminal exploitation. Moreover, such reliance on technology has made us and our places of work more vulnerable to cyber-attacks. Therefore, Cybersecurity has quickly become one of the most urgent needs in our digital age.

What is Cybersecurity? Cybersecurity is the practice of keeping systems, networks, and programs safe from digital attacks. 

While cyberattacks aim to steal information through any means possible, including damage, manipulation, and disruption of networks and hardware, Cybersecurity focuses on protecting computers, networks, and information from unauthorized access or attack. Essentially, if a device connects to the Internet, it is vulnerable to attacks and needs protecting. 

Today, many organizations and nations must employ cybersecurity practices. Data breaches can occur at any time within any organization without warning. And research and current events suggest that the severity of data breaches is increasing. In addition, the rise of cyber warfare, the attacking of national information systems, has made Cybersecurity particularly critical.

Attackers do not only target organizations. Communities and individuals are just as vulnerable to cyberattacks. You might think that you don't have anything of value for hackers to seize and that there's no reason they'd go after you. On the contrary—hackers love to target the unsuspecting!

In today's world of data privacy and digital living, cybersecurity threats are considered one of the biggest existential threats. So we need to be thinking about it at all levels—individual, organizational, national, and global. Therefore, there is no better time than now to educate yourself in Cybersecurity and enter the prosperous career of being a cybersecurity professional!  

Contrary to popular belief, a career in Cybersecurity is not limited to the uber genius. It's actually the complete opposite. Since the field of Cybersecurity is so broad and diverse, it needs people from all professional and educational disciplines. Just like there is a need for people with technology backgrounds in Cybersecurity, there is an equal need for people with humanities knowledge.
