Cyber Security

Cyber Security is the study of how the computer systems and networks can be protected from theft or damage to their hardware, software, or electronic data, and also the disruption of the services that they provide.

The study of Cyber Security plays an important role because the use of social media is in demand these days, and there should be control over the data that is shared by people.

The Cyber Security course teaches the students how to identify the computer system vulnerabilities, to recognize digital exploitation, and also prevent damage such as loss of data, and loss of money through viruses.

The individuals in the cybersecurity field are taught how to not only avoid cyber-attacks but also how to implement security measures to prevent such an attack preemptively and counterattack against a cyber threat.
