"La ciberseguridad es una condición previa para el desarrollo digital exitoso."
— Angela Merkel
Simplified Meaning:
For technology to grow and improve, we first need to make sure it is safe. Imagine you are building a new house. Before you put in nice furniture and decorations, you need strong doors and good locks to protect it from thieves. In the same way, when we develop new technologies like online banking or social media, we need to make sure they are secure from hackers and cyber-attacks. Good security allows people to trust the technology they use every day. If people are afraid their personal information might get stolen, they won’t use new digital services. By ensuring these services are safe, we encourage more people to use and benefit from them. In simpler terms, good security is like the foundation of a house. Without a strong foundation, the whole house can fall apart. So, to develop amazing new digital things, we must first make sure they are protected and safe for everyone to use.
