  Google Classroom The Internet is the world's largest computer network. Let's break that down: A  computer network  is any group of interconnected computing devices capable of sending or receiving data. A  computing device  isn't just a computer—it's any device that can run a program, such as a tablet, phone, or smart sensor. Building a network The simplest computer network is two devices: A diagram of the simplest computer network. Two computers are shown with a line connecting them. A network like that only has to worry about a few things, like how to physically connect the two devices and how to send data over the physical connection in a format they both understand. Let's add one more device: A diagram of a simple computer network. Three computers are shown with a line from one computer to the next. Now there's additional complexity. How can each device know whether incoming data is meant for them or for their neighbor? This simple network will need an addr...

In the modern digital environment, the role of cybersecurity is now greater than it was before. Our computers, laptops and other devices contain various private and secure personal data, such as medical and financial records. Cybercriminals view this data like sweet honey and strive to steal it using increasingly sophisticated means. What is Cybersecurity? Computer security, also known as Cybersecurity or information security defines the measures used to deter unauthorized access, use, disclosure, modification, destruction, or disruption of computers and computer networks. This is a complicated and forever changing field  as cyber-criminals continuously come up with innovative methods of attack. While computer hardware is secured in the same way that sensitive equipment such as lockers and doors are protected, critical information and system access and authorization, on the other hand, are protected through complex security tactics and  practices. Why is Cybersecurity Imp...
