Operation AuroraAmericans are becoming heavily dependent on modern technology, which produces greater vulnerability to cyberattacks such as security breaches. Cyber ​​security, also known as computer security, is information security applied to computers and computer networks. It is designed to protect networks, programs, computers and data from attacks. These attacks can cause damage or unauthorized access to data. Cyber ​​security also includes protection from unexpected events and natural disasters. The main function of computer security is to protect computers, networks, programs and data from inadvertent or unauthorized access, modification or destruction. Confidential computer information is collected, processed, stored, and data is transmitted across networks to other computers by military, corporations, financial institutions, and government.
