    Security and control in information systems involves preventing unauthorized access, modification, and deletion of information through a range of activities and processes. The goals of information security are to prevent security threats, detect any issues, and respond appropriately. Major security threats can come from unintentional incidents like natural disasters or from intentional acts like hacking, cyber theft, or computer viruses. Common defense strategies include encryption, authentication, firewalls, email monitoring, and virus protection. Firewalls in particular screen all network traffic and only allow authorized transmissions, serving as a gatekeeper for computer networks.
