Abstract

Cybersecurity: Everyone Should Alert! provide a basic understanding of the technical aspect of human issues related to cybersecurity in today’s digital society. This book outcome from the Research Articulation Grant Scheme (RAGS) by Ministry of Higher Education Malaysia entitled “Exploring the Digital Social Media Cyber Security Risk Factors”. The outcome of the research has a significant impact toward on securing our national cyberspace ecosystem and netizen across the globe due to rapid changes in technology. While technology continues to evolve, the possibilities and threats it presents do so too. We are at a crossroads while we step into the “new age of automation, big data, and the Internet of Things (IoT)” from a world already interconnected with the Internet. But as a civilization primarily based on technology, we are also relying on it as a result. Technology not only brings about even greater benefits but also poses even greater threats: It becomes a focal point for cybercrime, corporate surveillance and cyber-attacks owing to the very existence of the possibilities it provides. Protecting this is, therefore of utmost importance.
