Questions about Cyber Awareness

What is the importance of cyber awareness?

Cyber awareness holds utmost importance as it enables individuals and businesses to comprehend the potential risks and threats in the digital realm. This knowledge empowers them to identify, prevent, and respond to cyber attacks, thereby safeguarding sensitive information and ensuring a secure online environment.
