HACKING
In computer security, a hacker is someone who focuses on
security mechanisms of computer and network systems.
While including those who endeavor to strengthen such
mechanisms, it is more often used by the mass media and
popular culture to refer to those who seek access despite
these security measures. That is, the media portrays the
'hacker' as a villain. Nevertheless, parts of the subculture
see their aim in correcting security problems and use the
word in a positive sense. White hat is the name given to
ethical computer hackers, who utilize hacking in a helpful
way. White hats are becoming a necessary part of the
information security field. They operate under a code,
which acknowledges that breaking into other people's
computers is bad, but that discovering and exploiting
security mechanisms and breaking into computers is still an
interesting activity that can be done ethically and legally.

WHAT IS CYBER
SECURITY ???
Cyber security refers to the
body of technologies,
processes, and practices
designed to protect
networks, devices,
programs, and data from
attack, damage, or
unauthorized access. Cyber
security may also be
referred to as information

THE IMPORTANCE
Cyber security is important because

medical organizations collect, process, and
store unprecedented amounts of data on
computers and other devices. A significant
portion of that data can be sensitive
information, whether that be intellectual
property, financial data, personal information,
or other types of data for which unauthorized
access or exposure could have negative
consequences. Organizations transmit
sensitive data across networks and to other
devices in the course of doing businesses, and
cyber security describes the discipline
dedicated to protecting that information and
the systems used to process or store it. As the
volume and sophistication of cyber attacks
grow, companies and organizations, especially
those that are tasked with safeguarding
information relating to national security,
health, or financial records, need to take steps
to protect their sensitive business and
personnel information. As early as March
