Solution:

Cyber-Attacks are increasing rapidly around the world, and billions of dollars have been lost.so, we have to learn how to defend ourselves and protect the organization from those attacks or hackers. (lack of basics of information security is also the reason for occurring those attacks by hackers/outsiders)here are some ways to

Backup data is necessary if any data theft/data breaches is done.

-train your staff/your colleagues in cybersecurity practices.

Data Risk assessment:(-Risk assessment evaluates the relative risk for each vulnerability . And it Assigns a risk rating or score to each information asset)

it can be done by using data Risk assessments tools

risks are:- losing your passwords, phishing, emails, contact information, connections.

risk assessments/stages:-

1. find the hazards

2. identify the assets(asset means it holds some value like a device, chair, documents in an organization)

3.analyze risks

4.summarize the vulnerability
