Cybersecurity was new to me

If you just use a casual PC for shopping and looking at memes, perhaps things like data security and risk management don’t apply to you

Like most 40somethings, my expertise of computers and how to navigate them is sketchy at best, and thank god that Google caters to idiots like me, because going to the search engine and typing in my question is really the best trick I know, and I will never be a coder, never be able to build a website, and I am fascinated by people who can. They use strings of code to transform a blank screen into anything you can imagine, meanwhile I am typing with two fingers and asking a 12 year old child for advice. And don’t even get me started on cybersecurity, I thought that the PC came with antivirus software on it and that was all I needed. Boy was I wrong, that is just the bare minimum to keep your computer from getting sick, it stands no chance against any real cybersecurity threat, but hackers have a hundred different ways of attacking you virtually, and the battle between them and cybersecurity experts is a constantly evolving a one and once a new threat is shut down, and cybersecurity is tightened, then the hackers will take what they have l learned to try something new, every time a cyber firewall is enhanced, a hacker is deconstructing the code and figuring out how to chop through it. If you just use a casual PC for shopping and looking at memes, perhaps things like data security and risk management don’t apply to you. But if you run your business through a website, you need to take cybersecurity very seriously, or you will be wiped out in short order.
