Lesson 1: Introduction to Cybersecurity

Welcome to your cybersecurity journey, Digital Defender!

What is Cybersecurity?

Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting computers, networks, and data from digital attacks. Think of it as building shields and defenses for the digital world, just like how ancient African warriors protected their kingdoms!

🛡️ The Three Pillars of Cybersecurity

  • Confidentiality: Keeping information secret from unauthorized people
  • Integrity: Ensuring information is accurate and hasn't been tampered with
  • Availability: Making sure information is accessible when needed

In African culture, we have always understood the importance of protecting our communities. Cybersecurity is the modern way of protecting our digital communities and the valuable information they contain.
