Cybercriminals use technology and the internet to engage in illegal activities including identity theft, hacking and fraud, posing an increasing threat to individuals, businesses, and governments. Effective prevention and response to cybercrime requires a multi-faceted approach that includes education, tech- nical measures, and legal action. Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting against these and other cyber threats through the use of technology, policies, and practices. Modern technology used in cybersecurity includes artificial intelligence, Internet of Things and machine learning, which can help detect and prevent cyber attacks, as well as respond to them. These technologies are constantly evolving and improving, and their effective use is crucial to stay ahead of the ever-evolving threat landscape. However, its also important to note that technology alone is not enough, as human factors such as user education and vigilance play a significant role in preventing and mitigating the impact of cybercrime.
