Computer Security

Information security issues are complex and are often rooted in organizational and business concerns. Information security requires far more than the latest tool or technology. Organizations must understand exactly what they are trying to protect (and why) before selecting specific solutions. The vast majority of worms and other successful cyber-attacks are made possible by vulnerabilities in a small number of common services. Attackers usually take the easiest and most convenient route and exploit the best-known flaws with the most effective and widely available attack tools.

Computer security is a branch of computer technology known as Information Security as applied to computers and networks. The objective of computer security includes protection of information and property from theft, corruption, or natural disaster, while allowing the information and property to remain accessible and productive to its intended users. The term computer system security means the collective processes and mechanisms by which sensitive and valuable information and services are protected from publication, tampering or collapse by unauthorized activities or untrustworthy individuals and unplanned events respectively. The strategies and methodologies of computer security often differ from most other computer technologies because of its somewhat elusive objective of preventing unwanted computer behavior instead of enabling wanted computer behavior.
