Frequently asked questions

Software is a collection of programs and instructions that tell a computer or digital device how to perform specific tasks. It includes operating systems, applications, utilities, and development tools.

Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting computers, networks, software, and data from cyber threats such as malware, phishing, hacking, ransomware, and unauthorized access.

The three main categories are system software (such as operating systems), application software (such as web browsers and office applications), and programming software (such as compilers, IDEs, and debugging tools).

You can improve your security by using strong and unique passwords, enabling multi-factor authentication, keeping software updated, installing security patches, avoiding suspicious links and downloads, using reputable antivirus software, and regularly backing up important data.

Understanding software and security helps you use technology more effectively, protect your personal information, recognize cyber threats, and build a foundation for careers in software engineering, cybersecurity, cloud computing, IT, and digital infrastructure.
