Over the years, technology has obviously advanced in ways that can be helpful to people's everyday lives. Unevitably, it also comes with different risks.Whether they know it or not, nearly everyone relies on technology every day. Today, technology is used by even the most important people/organizations in the U.S., such as Homeland Security. That is why cybersecurity is very important to anyone who uses technology.

Cybersecurity itself is actions taken to prevent any problems we may have with unwanted people seeing or even stealing anything on our technology devices. The more technology advances the more security we need to have. A weak cyber security system can result in other countries hacking into U.S. systems, networks, programs, devices, and data. This poses a great threat to our national security.
We may be able to help the issue if major cybersecurity companies such as Homeland security could help spread the awareness to the U.S. We could even take it a step further and send out security packages that Microsoft has been selling since the hack.
Spreading awareness is the fastest and most effective way of letting people know how and what to do in this type of situation. Another reason is because spreading awareness doesn´t always cost a lot of money if any. This information can be disseminated to anyone of all ages, and let everyone know about what cyber security is.
A large number of people may think that their cybersecurity is fine, but did you know that cyber attacks have risen by 35% since 2020? Last year, the U.S. government alone had 28,581 cases of hacked data. Outside of the government cyber security, cyber attacks in general have gone up 180% in the last couple of years. These statistics do not include the American population which has about once every 11 seconds. Considering 7,240 of the 28,581 cyber attacks went unknown this last year should motivate people to take in some cyber knowledge.
Warning Americans and spreading awareness will help reduce the percentage or prevent internet attacks from increasing. Making U.S internet environment safer will not only protect citizens but all their information on the internet too. Providing information about cybersecurity to everyone who works from school to office helps protect the online world from everyone around us and keeps us one step ahead.
