Cybersecurity

Alongside staying current on cyber threats, it is just as important to understand the terminology behind security concepts. One term that often comes up in encryption discussions is ciphertext. This video explains what ciphertext is, how it is created, and why it plays a critical role in keeping sensitive data protected. Understanding these basics can make cybersecurity conversations far less intimidating.
