I appreciate your discussion of what cybersecurity entails, and while you suggest that it covers the protection of electronic devices, I think the scope of cybersecurity goes beyond electronic devices. For me, cybersecurity involves defending and protecting not only electronic implements (electronic systems, mobile gadgets, and computers) but also data, networks, digital systems, and servers from malicious cyber-attacks. What I like about your discussion is the fact that you have identified some methods by which these malicious cyber-attacks are executed, which I had not thought of when creating my initial post. These include social engineering, luring people, and using digital codes that allow attackers to control their systems and data. Concerning your points on critical infrastructure, I would like to add that studying cybersecurity is essential because it helps us to know the key security operations, protocols, control systems, functions, and applications that we need in protecting critical infrastructure from incapacitation, disruptions, or destruction. Thank you for your valuable views.
