Absract. In today's digital world, online communication has gained wide popularity as an effective and easy way to maintain the activity of a number of areas of life, including conducting online workouts with fitness instructors. Despite the benefits associated with online training, cybersecurity challenges are inevitably emerging that require serious attention and preventive measures. The aim of the study is to analyze the effectiveness of current online security mechanisms and
policies and to identify potential threats related to online training and cybersecurity.
The highest efficiency is achieved in protecting users' personal data and preventing hacker attacks. The leading potential threats are phishing attacks, misuse of personal data and malware installation. The most commonly used mechanisms achieve optimal cybersecurity, but continuous online threats require increased attention from users as well. Using strong and unique passwords for all online accounts,
updating device software, using two-factor authentication and creating backups will
increase the effectiveness of online security.
