The fundamental objective of cybersecurity is not to completely eradicate all potential risks, as doing so is often impractical. Instead, it focuses on strategically managing these risks, implementing measures to mitigate their impact, and ensuring they are minimized to a level that organizations and individuals can confidently deem acceptable. This approach recognizes that some level of risk will always exist. Still, through careful planning, vigilance, and ongoing adjustments, those risks can be controlled and maintained within tolerable boundaries to protect critical systems and data. - - #DigitalEconomyMag #MondayMotivation #CyberSecurity
