Security

Security refers to the measures, practices, and systems implemented to protect individuals, organizations, or nations from various threats, risks, or vulnerabilities. It encompasses a wide range of fields, including physical security, information security, cybersecurity, and national security.

Physical security involves protecting facilities, personnel, and assets from intentional harm or unauthorized access. Information security focuses on safeguarding data from unauthorized access, breaches, or destruction, ensuring confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information. Cybersecurity is a subset of information security that specifically addresses threats in the digital realm, such as malware, hacking, and phishing.

National security entails protecting a nation’s sovereignty, territory, and citizens from external and internal threats, including terrorism, espionage, and cyberattacks. Overall, security aims to create a safe environment by identifying risks and implementing suitable defenses, response strategies, and recovery plans to manage potential incidents.
