Cybersecurity is like a digital shield that protects your online life.

Imagine your home needs protection from intruders. You lock your doors, use alarms, and maybe even have security cameras. Cybersecurity is similar, but it's for your digital life—your computers, phones, and all the things you do online.

Here's how it works:

Why it's important:

Everything you do online—sending emails, shopping, using social media—leaves a digital trail. Cybersecurity ensures that this trail stays safe and private, just like you'd want your home and personal things to be secure in the real world.

So, cybersecurity is all about staying safe and secure in the digital world, protecting your information from the bad guys, and making sure your online life runs smoothly and safely.
