1

Abstract Exploring the government's roles in people's cybersecurity in this digital age of the world is important. It is necessary to inform people about what needs to be done for the worldwide protection of data, and what people can do every day to protect their personal devices. In this digital age, life is made easy by technology, therefore making it harder to protect personal data from hackers that want to use that personal data against them. Thus this means the government needs to be the world leader on new cybersecurity systems and programs. It needs to continue the campaign to inform the American public on safe online tactics and tips. Cybersecurity is national security meaning that more government funds need to be put into it to secure Americans digital infrastructure. This research is important because the protection of a person's data is vital as everything becomes digital and in the years to come everything that can become digital will become digital. People also have become lax in protecting their own data, therefore people need to not just know the risks, but understand them and implement safeguards for the future of online security
