Cybersecurity is the technologies and processes designed to protect computers, networks, and data from unauthorized access, vulnerabilities, and attacks delivered via the internet by cybercriminals.
(Webopedia 2021)
Cyber, a prefix that implies a relationship with information technology (IT), relates to all aspects of computing, including storing, protecting, accessing, processing, transmitting and linking data. The word ‘cyber’ has become one of the most pervasive concepts in modern computing and technology, however, it is not present as a concept in the early 1980s and 1990s.
Cyber is typically used as a prefix of a compound word and can be written as one word (cybersecurity), two words (cyber security), or as a hyphenated word (cyber-security). For consistency, all examples will be two words (cyber crime, cyber security, cyber attack, and so on).
