Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity is the body of technologies, processes and practices designed to protect networks, computers, programs and data from attack, damage or unauthorized access. In a computing context, security includes both cybersecurity and physical security. Cybersecurity problems and attacks cause billions of dollars in losses every year. Beyond having an economic impact, they also have an impact in our daily lives as our technology dependence continues to grow. According to Forbes, the global cybersecurity market reached $75 billion for 2015 and is expected to hit $170 billion in 2020.
