Cyber security, is the security of the internet, all electronic foot print inter connected to the data that are passing and stored through it. (computers, networks, programs and data from unintended or unauthorized access, change or destruction).

Why Is Protecting you PC, Network

important to your businesses Governments, military, corporations, financial institutions,

hospitals and businesses collect, process and store a great deal of

confidential information on computers and transmit that data

across networks to other computers. With the growing volume

and sophistication of cyber attacks, ongoing attention is required

to protect sensitive business and personal information, as well as

safeguard national security.

During a Senate hearing in March 2013, the nation's top

intelligence officials warned that cyber attacks and digital spying

are the top threat to national security, eclipsing terrorism.
