Computer security involves protecting computers and networks from hardware theft and vandalism. Some techniques used include locked doors and windows, alarm systems, cables to lock equipment down, and small locking devices for hard disks and optical drives. For mobile devices, tracking software, passwords, and biometrics can provide protection and deterrence against theft. Anti-theft measures aim to render stolen hardware useless to thieves.

20. Isa hardware/software that protects a network’s resources
from intrusion
 Organizations
- use firewalls to protect network resources and to restrict
employees’ access to sensitive data.
- use proxy server that controls which communications pass
into the organization’s network.
 Home and small office/home office
- users protect their computers with personal firewall.
- it monitors all transmissions to and from computer and may
inform a user of any attempted intrusion.
- some users purchase stand-alone personal firewall software.

21.  Large organizations may use intrusion
detection software to identify possible security
breaches.
 It analyses all network traffic, assesses system
vulnerabilities, identifies any unauthorized
intrusions and notifies network administrators of
suspicious behavoiur patterns or system breaches.

22. Some organizations use honeypots so that they
can analyze an attack being perpetrated.
 A honeypot is a vulnerable computer that is set
up to entice an intruder to break into it.
 Honeypots allow the organizations to learn how
intruders are exploiting their network and also
attempt to catch perpetrators who have been
doing damage elsewhere on their network.

23. Hardware theft
Hardware
vandalism

24. Hardware theft

25.  Act of defacing or destroying computer
equipment
 Cutting computer cable wire .
 Aimlessly destroying individuals or school
computers.
 Normally it doesnt pose threat to home
desktop computer users.
 Small unit system can be stolen as their
portable and able to fit in backpack or
briefcases

26. Safeguards
against hardware
theft and
vandalism

27.  locked doors and windows(usually for school and
business) enough to protect these hardwares
 install alarm system
 cables that lock the equipment to the desk
 Small locking devices also exists that require a key
to access a hard disk or a optical disk drive

28.  Real time location system (RTLS)
- to track and identify location aof high risk or high
valued items.
 RTLS place RFID tags in items to be tracked.
 Mobile users can install mini security system in the
notebook computer

29.  Some of these security systems shut down
the computer or sound an alarm if computer
moves out of a specific distance
 Some can configure to photograph the
thieves when they use the computer
 Tracking software can track the location of
stolen notebook computer
 Use passwords ,possessed objects and
biometrics.

30.  Ex: starting up a computer requires password ,
slide card in card reader or press you finger on a
finger print reader for the hard disk to unlock
 This type of security does not prevent theft but it
makes the computer useless after stolen
 Password protect can be used on portable devices :
USB flash drives,smart phones and other devices.
 This will allow only authorized users to access the
devices data.

31.  Some security system can destroy data if an
incorrect password entered in a certain number of
times.
 You can instruct the password screen to display
your name and phone number ,, so that if it was
misplaced or lost someone can always contact you
and return it!
