What is cyber security?
Cyber security is the system of protections, actions, devices, and techniques that protect computers, data, networks, programs, and facilities from harm or misuse that comes from electromagnetic energy. It also deals with creating software that would or could provide protection to passwords or information being transferred online.
What are some safety tips for preventing hackers?
The first thing that you can do is not to click on links from unknown sources. Always make sure that you use a strong password, and avoid using personal information in your passwords. There also are great apps that you can download for your phone that will help prevent hackers from getting access to your device.
Which safety tips do you follow on your own devices?
Make sure you uninstall ALL unnecessary software. They track what you do and say online, and slow down your device's performance even more! Delete anything that can't be deleted. Read through your CC agreement before agreeing to it.
