It is important to know about computing security since nowadays we use computers and the internet for almost everything, from playing video games to flying an aircraft or launching satellites.
This is a great achievement for humanity and it provides us with knowledge and resources that our ancestors could never imagine having, however, we are also subjected to many risks since we give lots of information about ourselves to the internet.
Since the internet is very big and we don´t know who is out there we need to be really careful about the information we give and share, this is why computer security is necessary for our safety in the internet, we must know which technologies are safer but also we, as users, must know which good computing practices exist to safeguard our information as much as possible.
