IBM recently published “What is Cybersecurity?”, a quick read for students, parents, teachers, and anyone else looking for a concise and easy-to-understand description of the subject matter.
Cybersecurity is important because cybercrime has the power to disrupt, damage or destroy businesses, communities and lives, according to IBM. Successful cyberattacks lead to identity theft, personal and corporate extortion, loss of sensitive information and business-critical data, temporary business outages, lost business and lost customers and, in some cases, business closures.
Cybersecurity Ventures predicts that cybercrime will cost the world economy $10.5 trillion USD per year by 2025, and global spending on cybersecurity products and services will exceed $1.75 trillion total during the years 2021 through 2025.
IBM breaks down the various types of cybersecurity including AI security, critical infrastructure security, network and endpoint security, application security, cloud security, mobile security, and more.
