    Cybersecurity protects information systems by addressing cyber threats from various actors. Different types of threats include viruses, malware, ransomware and social engineering. Threat actors can be hackers, organized crime groups, or nation-states, with motivations like financial gain or espionage. Cybersecurity controls use technologies like firewalls, antivirus software and encryption to counter these threats. However, social engineering also endangers security by exploiting human factors, so training is needed to strengthen defenses.
