    Security refers to safeguards designed to protect computer systems and data from intentional and accidental damage or access by unauthorized persons. There are four main approaches to security: requiring what you have like keys or cards for physical access; requiring what you know like passwords and IDs; requiring what you do like signatures to confirm authority; and requiring what you are through biometric identification methods like fingerprints, eye retina scans, and voice recognition.
