Vulnerabilities: Weak spots in your computer system that could be attacked. For example, using an old software version or a weak password.
Risk: The chance of a threat causing harm. Understanding risks helps us know which problems to fix first.
Protection Measures: Things you can do to keep your information safe, like using strong passwords and installing antivirus software.
Why Should You Care?
Cybersecurity affects everyone. Whether it’s keeping your personal information safe or protecting your work data, understanding cybersecurity helps you avoid problems like identity theft or losing important files.
