Computer Security

●Computer security is the protection of computer


systems and networks from attack by malicious actors.

●Computer security refers to measures and controls


that ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability
of the information processed and stored by a computer.
4 Types of Computer Security

•Application Security
•Information Security
•Network Security
•Endpoint Security
Application Security

Application security is the process of


adding specific features to software that
prevents a variety of cyber threats. Examples
include two-step authentication, high-level
encryption, logging, firewalls, intrusion
prevention systems (IPS) and more.
Information Security

Information security revolves around protecting


company data assets from unauthorized use.
Typically, information security involves the CIA
triad model, which focuses on protecting data
confidentiality, integrity and availability without
impacting an organization’s productivity.
Network Security

Network security focuses on procedures network


administrators implement to avoid unauthorized
access, modification, exploitation or denial of the
networks and their resources. Conducted effectively,
these procedures block the majority of viruses,
malware and other cyber threats from accessing or
altering secure information.
Endpoint Security

Endpoint security is the practice of safeguarding individual


network endpoints — individual devices that connect to an
organization’s network. This practice has become more important
in recent years as many people use personal computers, phones
and other devices to access company information and networks
while working from home. Ensuring that these devices can access
needed information without compromising an organization’s
security posture is a major concern in modern computer security.
The Importance of Computer Security
• Computer security protects individuals and organizations
against cyber threats and the loss of important data.
Becoming the target of a cybercriminal can be incredibly
damaging and disruptive to daily activities, whether personal
or professional. So, why is computer security so important?
Because understanding the basics of computer security can
help you avoid headaches and keep your data safe from
others. Having your identity stolen or your accounts
compromised can involve hours lost with account recovery
— as well as significant financial losses.
