Cybersecurity didn't start with complex hacking—it began with a simple experiment.
1970s – The First Spark: The 'Creeper' virus was created as a test on ARPANET. To delete it, 'Reaper' was built—marking the birth of the world’s first antivirus.
1980s – The PC Era: The 'Brain' virus targeted personal computers in 1986, launching the commercial antivirus industry.
1990s – The Internet Age: As the web went global, Firewalls and Network Protection became essential to secure online data.
Modern Era – Cloud & AI: Security has evolved from basic viruses to Advanced Ransomware and AI threats, requiring Next-Gen Defense systems.
From a simple experimental code to protecting global infrastructure—cybersecurity has come a long way. ⚡
