Lesson 2: Why Cybersecurity Is Important

Cybersecurity is important because modern life depends heavily on technology. Banks, hospitals, schools, and businesses store sensitive data online.

Without proper security, attackers can steal personal information, money, or shut down entire systems.

Real-Life Example:
If a hospital is hacked, doctors may lose access to patient records, putting lives at risk.

Cybersecurity helps protect privacy, finances, and essential services.
