Answer:
When Tim Berners-Lee was designing the technology that has transformed our world, he looked for a noun that would describe what he had in mind. The one he eventually settled on was "web", which is how the world wide web got its name.
To its inventor, the noun must have seemed perfectly apposite: it described the intricate, organic linking of sites and pages that he had in mind. But "web" has other, metaphorical, connotations. Webs are things that spiders weave with the aim of capturing prey. And if you want a metaphor for thinking about where we are now with networked technology, here's one to ponder.

Securing devices:
Make it harder for hackers to breach your data/device by keeping your software up to date. If you have your web browser, operating system and other software kept up to date, then you can prevent hackers from massively using publicly known exploits to attack your computer.
Explanation:
Install good AntiVirus software capable of scanning also HTTPS traffic to protect you against some phishing attacks. AntiVirus scanning your encrypted web communication will analyze the content of websites you visit and try to match them to signatures of behavioral patterns of potentially malicious websites. This will protect you from downloading files from unknown sources. Modern AntiVirus software is also capable of defending you against some types of ransomware attacks, so keeping this software up to date and using a renowned vendor is highly important.
Use common sense while browsing the Internet or plugging something into your computer, because AntiVirus and other defensive software is just an additional layer of protection to your sanity. This includes being cautious while following links in unexpectedly received emails, not downloading pirated software, accessing only those e-commerce websites that support HTTPS, and so on. Learn how to use strong passwords (Password Strength) and use a password manager that allows you to create very strong passwords without the need to remember them all.
Use Two-Factor Authentication wherever possible, so in case your password somehow leaks or gets guessed you still have a second layer of protection. This significantly increases the effort of a successful attack when an attacker must steal your mobile device or a YubiKey to access the service.
Encrypt your hard drive, so when your laptop is stolen thieves can not access the data inside. All modern operating systems and hardware support have some sort of default and safe encryption mechanisms that no longer slow down your computer. So feel free to use it anywhere you can, including your mobile devices.
Backup your data, and test your backups. This will save you a lot of stress and anxiety when you’re hit by a possible ransomware attack, which makes all your data encrypted immediately unusable, or your hard drive simply dies.
Don’t connect to untrusted networks because those can perform middleman attacks against you by intercepting the sensitive data you transfer online.
Don’t let anyone near your devices if you’re not watching. It takes only a couple of seconds to plug in a malicious USB device which will compromise the security of your computer. Remember to always lock your devices when you leave them alone, so no one can jump in front of the screen and look into your emails or stored passwords.
You should constantly educate yourself and people around you on novel security risks by reading security blogs or news magazines. Any information attained is better than no information at all, so don’t worry that you need to learn a ton. 1% is better than zero.
