Introduction to Cyber Resilience
A cyberattack can happen without warning. Sometimes, it starts with one careless click. At other times, an account may get hacked. However, knowing what to do next can reduce the damage. This is where cyber resilience becomes important. It helps people prepare for cyber incidents, respond calmly, recover safely, and learn from the experience.

Why Cyber Resilience Matters
Cyber resilience is not only about preventing attacks. It also means knowing how to respond when something goes wrong. For example, users may face scams, hacked accounts, or other online threats. Therefore, staying calm and following the right steps can help limit the impact. Over time, these habits can also prepare people for future incidents.
