Human traffic usually flows through roads and streets.
In the 21st century, most traffic is routed through optical fibers, cables, and satellite transmissions.
TV signals and internet services all depend on cables for the seamless distribution of content across geographic regions.
The internet network is continuously monitored by cyber security professionals and protected by electronic devices such as firewalls.
Cyber security experts prevent hacking of networks and protect our data as it gets transmitted from servers to client devices, which include mobile phones and computers.
Data is transmitted through the internet in binary format (i.e., 0s and 1s sequence) and is usually encrypted using SSL certificates.
To make the World Wide Web secure, cyber security professionals play an important role.
Internet services such as e-commerce, online trading, and internet banking require the exchange of confidential data such as bank account details, email IDs, addresses, phone numbers, and personal identity proofs.
This data is very crucial and must be protected from hackers to prevent cyber fraud.
Hackers exploit user data, which leads to cyber fraud through spam calls, messages, emails, and fake websites.
Cyber fraud cases are increasing as very few people are able to detect scams.
Online scammers especially target older people and working professionals to steal money.
Spreading mass awareness about cyber scams by corporations and the government helps prevent innocent users from becoming victims of cyber fraud.
Also, users must verify the authenticity of any website before sharing personal information.
To prevent cyber scams, always buy online from trusted brands.
Public networks are full of scammers trying to steal your data and rob you financially.
