Introduction
In today’s digital age, the use of Information Technology (IT) has become pervasive in all aspects of our lives. While IT has brought about numerous benefits and advancements, it has also opened the door to a new wave of cyber threats that have the potential to disrupt businesses, governments, and individuals alike. As such, the need to mitigate these emerging cyber threats has become paramount in order to ensure the security and integrity of our digital systems and data.
This thesis seeks to explore the impact of IT in mitigating emerging cyber threats. By examining the ways in which IT can be used to prevent, detect, and respond to cyber threats, this research aims to provide valuable insights into how organizations can better protect themselves in an increasingly digital world.
