Information and computer security threats refer to any potential danger to the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of digital information and the systems that store, process, and transmit it. These threats can include viruses, malware, hacking attacks, unauthorized access, data breaches, phishing scams, and social engineering tactics, among others. They pose a significant risk to businesses, organizations, and individuals, potentially resulting in financial losses, reputational damage, and legal implications. Appropriate security measures, such as firewalls, encryption, and access controls, are essential to mitigate these risks and ensure the safety and protection of valuable information.
