Various cyber security technologies, such as walls and encryption, are used to achieve this goal in the face of various threats, such as viruses or phishing attacks.
The social and financial importance of cybersecurity is increasingly recognized by governments nowadays. Cybersecurity technologies have an important impact on human well-being as they make possible many contemporary human organizations that rely on the accessibility and integrity of data and computer systems. Cybersecurity raises important ethical trade-offs and complex moral issues, such as whether to pay hackers to access data.
