The way that the general public views and comprehends cybersecurity is greatly influenced by the media. The media frequently sensationalizes and dramatizes cybersecurity issues through a variety of channels, including news sources, motion pictures, television shows, and online platforms. Viewers may be misled or informed on the nature of cyber threats and the steps required to counter them by these representations. One way that media attention to prominent cyberattacks and data breaches might increase public understanding of the value of cybersecurity is by igniting conversations about online safety. On the other hand, the public may become fearful and misinformed due to the emphasis on dramatic tales and exaggerated depictions of cyber threats, which may leave them feeling hopeless or defeated. Furthermore, media portrayals of hackers and cybersecurity experts frequently stray into stereotypes, which could not fairly represent the varied reality of the field. For this reason, even while the media is an important medium for spreading cybersecurity knowledge, people should critically assess the stories they read and look for trustworthy sources in order to gain a more complex understanding of the subject.
