So what is security? Wikipedia tell us that it is split into two parts. But it is a huge industry. It covers:Viruses, worms, DOS, spoofing, trojans, phishing, unauthorised access to data, data theft, and involves equipment such as firewalls, security suites, encryption and certification. House hold names have sprung up like Fortinet, Mcaffee, symantec, and of course our own astronaught Mark Shuttlworth who made trillions out of web security. Intel bought mcaffee for $7.7 billion america’s 2nd biggest security company.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.
