In today’s society, which is increasingly globalized and centered around information technology, growing cyber threats pose a challenge to organizations, institutions, and individuals ( Bove, 2023 ). A cyberattack can attack nearly every aspect of our lives, from personal information and privacy to national security and economic stability. As our dependence on information technology grows, so does our vulnerability to cyber threats. A cyberattack is any attempt to access, alter, or delete data or computer systems without authorization, as well as any action aimed at disrupting the normal functioning of digital infrastructure. These attacks are carried out by hackers, cybercriminals, terrorist organizations, and sometimes even nation-states. The motivation for such actions can be financial gain, industrial espionage, or political or ideological activities. The consequences of such attacks can be catastrophic and include loss of data, financial losses, and even threats to human life.
