Cybersecurity refers to the practice of protecting computer systems, networks, devices, and sensitive information from unauthorized access, theft, damage, or disruption. This involves a range of measures such as firewalls, encryption, intrusion detection systems, access control, and regular updates and patches to software and hardware.
Hacking, on the other hand, refers to the act of gaining unauthorized access to computer systems, networks, or devices. Hacking can be performed for a variety of reasons, such as financial gain, espionage, or activism. Hacking can involve a wide range of techniques, including phishing, malware, social engineering, and exploiting vulnerabilities in software or hardware. While some hackers may engage in ethical hacking to help identify and fix vulnerabilities, others engage in illegal activities that can lead to serious consequences.
