Now, more than ever, cybersecurity is becoming essential to our everyday lives.  We depend so heavily on computers and other electronic devices to store our important information, causing us to feel stranded and vulnerable when a breach occurs.  Cybersecurity should be taken seriously as it protects our computers, networks, and electronic devices from unauthorized access, theft, and damage. Data breaches can result in the loss of millions of private records and sensitive data, affecting everyone whose personal information may have been stolen.

The top 5 reasons cybersecurity is important:

  1. Cyberattacks harm people since so much of our lives are connected to computers
  2. Technology changes quickly
  3. Cyberattackers are getting smarter
  4. Loss of jobs
  5. Identity theft
