Cybersecurity refers to the practice of protecting computer systems, networks, and data from unauthorized access, cyberattacks, and data breaches. 

Cybersecurity is crucial because it safeguards sensitive information, prevents financial losses, protects privacy, maintains the integrity of systems and networks, and ensures business continuity.

Common cyber threats include malware (viruses, worms, ransomware), phishing attacks, social engineering, insider threats, DDoS attacks, and vulnerabilities in software and hardware.

You can protect your devices and data by using strong, unique passwords, keeping software up to date, using antivirus software, being cautious of suspicious emails and links, enabling firewalls, and implementing multi-factor authentication. 

If your device is infected with malware, you should immediately disconnect it from the internet, run a full system scan with antivirus software, and follow any instructions provided by the software. In severe cases, you may need to seek professional assistance.
