Cyber Community

Cyber community is a group of people connected through the internet.

IMPORTANCE OF CYBER COMMUNTY

Global citizens
The internet enables an amazing interchange of ideas and thoughts.  sharing with people we have never met or even heard of thousands of kilometres away, instantly and visible to the world at large.

While that amazing, many such interactions are characterised by emotional and physical distance we can not see or know anything about the people we talk to online and care less about them as a result.

The easy access to a global audience and often anonymity has led to a pandemic of incredibly hurtful and offensive comments online.
Our responsibility
As teachers, being aware of these issues is important but not enough. It’s our responsibility to keep our students safe and gently show them how to do the right thing, whether it is in the classroom, school yard or the internet.

Cyber criminals have become a permanent part of the Internet’s ecosystem, where they are responsible for billions in financial losses and putting

The pace of criminal innovation requires constant effort to keep counter measures up to date.

It is critical that companies quickly move to a process-driven model to respond to threats and manage risks. Fighting or blocking new technology should not be the strategy. Instead, companies need to be flexible enough to accommodate their end users’ evolving needs, while providing and maintaining a safe environment for their patients and business partners.

With the ever changing landscape of cybercrime and the the sophisticated approaches taken by the bad actors dell takes these challenges seriously and strives to protect our customers and business partners.

From investigating innovative ways to develop a secure supply chain, to integrating security encryption and other technologies into our hardware and security services, dell is working toward a holistic security approach that traverses all components and product groups to ensure we do our part in protecting our customers computing.
