Cyber security and data protection are essential in today’s digital world. Cyber security refers to the practices and technologies used to protect systems, networks, and data from cyber threats like hacking, malware, and phishing. It helps ensure that sensitive information remains confidential, secure, and available only to authorized users.
Data protection focuses on safeguarding personal and organizational data from unauthorized access, loss, or corruption. This includes following legal regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA), which require organizations to handle personal data responsibly.
Together, cyber security and data protection help build trust, prevent financial losses, and ensure business continuity in the face of increasing cyber threats.
