What Is Cybersecurity?
Welcome Message :
Hi there! Imagine your tablet or computer is like your house. You lock the doors and close the windows to keep your things safe, right?
Cybersecurity is the lock and key for your digital house. It keeps out people who might want to peek, steal, or break things online.
Read & Explore:
- Cybersecurity means using passwords, software, and smart habits to protect our information.
- It helps make sure that what you send, play, and create stays safe.
- Every time you log in, share, or click, you’re opening a “door.” Good cybersecurity is checking who’s allowed to come in.
