Guided by the CIA Triad—Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability—cybersecurity protects digital assets from unauthorized access and damage. It defends against a landscape of threats including malware, phishing, and ransomware through protective measures like complex passwords, Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), and encryption.
