How can you protect your system from hackers

Answer 1

Well, that's a big question 😃
The best way to protect yourself and minimize security threats is to learn security. The more you learn, the more you understand that security is a big issue and that it is impossible to be protected 100%.
I'm certified in information security (CompTIA Security+), and despite this i feel like i'm just scratching the surface and there is still a lot of things to learn.

Answer 7

Lol many face this question these days.
It depends on what system are you talking, every system has it's own features, it's own functionality and therefore, it's own vulnerabilities.
For example, a C program probably has more chance to contain memory vulnerabilities than a python program.
So the more you know about what you want to protect (and how to protect it), the better you can protect it.
So therefore a good start would be to read about security aspects related to the system your talking about.
Good luck my friend.
