Abstract The rising of information and communication technologies brought about new challenges that need to be dealt with is the citizens' security is considered. Undoubtedly, the latest well known electronic attacks have indicated the losses that are likely to happen as ICT and security as a field widens. There are several types of electronic attacks like Denial of service, phishing attacks, backdoors, Day-Zero gaps, and technical gaps that facilitate the vulnerabilities that are often taken advantage of by malicious persons. There is a need for cybersecurity because it defines the body of processes, technologies, and practices in terms of how they are designed to help protect various programs, devices, networks, and data from the malicious persons who perform unauthorized access and damage these resources. There have been technical measures, development of cyber talents, and investment in cybersecurity insurances, community awareness, cyber alliances, as well as encryption and backing up of data to ensure their security is guaranteed. There have been technological steps to help counter cyber-attacks that need the response from organizations at the technical, operational, and managerial levels, such as security of the networks, malware defences, and data recovery systems. Based on the process side, there is a need to activate cybersecurity strategies and plans. From the users' side, there is a need for the adoption of a focused method of monitoring the security and threat intelligence as well as a continued awareness of the need for security among its users and those who apply executive management of the visible support.
