Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting computers, networks, applications and data from unauthorized access, attacks and damage. It covers everything from securing a home Wi-Fi network to defending global enterprises, and spans areas such as network security, web application security, digital forensics, incident response, malware analysis and cloud security.
