COMPUTER
SECURITY

C omputer security, also known as

cybersecurity or IT security, is the
protection of information systems
from theft or damage to the hardware, the
software, and to the information on them, as
well as from disruption or misdirection of the
services they provide. It includes controlling
physical access to the
hardware, as well as protecting against harm
that may come via network access, data and
code injection, and due to malpractice by
operators, whether intentional, accidental, or
due to them being tricked into deviating from
secure procedures.

Computer Security is concerned with four main areas:

1. Confidentiality:- Only authorized users can access the data resources and information.
2. Integrity:- Only authorized users should be able to modify the data when needed.
3. Availability:- Data should be available to users when needed.
4. Authentication:- are you really communicating with whom you think you are communicating
with

security of the data paths.

Data present in a computer can also be

misused by unauthorized intrusions. An
intruder can modify and change the program
source codes and can also use your pictures or
email accounts to create derogatory content
such as pornographic images, fake misleading
and offensive social accounts.
