Did you know? 

95% of Cyber breach are caused by human error!

Few years back , my mum got a call from an unknown caller. He told her, he was calling from her bank. He went  on to ask for her middle name and bvn number, stating that they had noticed an error on some of her information and it needed to be fixed.well, she ended up lossing a large sum of money. 

Moral Leason

Never ever disclose any of your sensitive information to anyone who calls your claiming they are from your bank.

The Cyber Criminal used "social Engineering" to acquire  sensitive information from my mum, which he then used in carrying out his malicious activity.

If only she was more "Cyber aware" Such gross error would not have occur.

Cyber Scurity is the process of keeping your cyber space SAFE. It is a defense mechanism put in place to ensure the safety of your device( phones, laptops as well as other gadgets) and data (information) from cyber criminals.

Cyber security is the responsibility of every person on the cyberspace. It is not just for those in the tech industry.

Key Importance of CyberSecurity 

• Your data and information can be protected from cybercriminals through cybersecurity. Obtaining your private information, which is supposed to be confidential, is one of an attacker's goals when carrying out attacks, most often impersonation-based ones. The attacker will be unable to access your data, though, if you properly secure your personal information.
• With proper cyber security measures, you can detect malicious activity early on and take appropriate action to stop it.
• Cyberattacks are occurring at alarmingly high rates around the globe, which is costing both businesses and people significant sums of money as well as damaging their reputations and compromising their ability to protect sensitive information. The losses that might otherwise be sustained are prevented by cybersecurity, which mitigates these attacks.
