Cyber refers to a relationship with information technology (IT) and is often used in the context of computing and the internet. It encompasses various aspects of technology, including cybersecurity, which is the practice of defending computers, networks, and data from malicious attacks, and cybercrime, which involves criminal activities carried out using IT or targeting IT systems. The term "cyber" originated from the word "cybernetics," which was coined by mathematician Norbert Wiener in the late 1940s to describe the study of control systems and communication between people and machines
. Over the years, the use of the term has expanded to cover a wide range of IT-related concepts and activities, reflecting the growing influence of technology in modern society.
