Abstract
The term “cybersecurity” has gained widespread popularity but has not been defined properly. The term is used by many different people to mean different things in different contexts. A better understanding of “cybersecurity” will allow us a better understanding of what it means to be “cybersecure.” This in turn will allow us to take more appropriate measures to ensure actual cybersecurity.
