    Computer security involves protecting computer systems and networks from theft or damage of information and property. It aims to keep information accessible to authorized users through ensuring confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data and resources. The major technical areas of computer security are confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Confidentiality protects against disclosure of information, integrity protects against unauthorized changes to information, and availability ensures resources are accessible when needed.

    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 major technical areas of computer security are usually


    represented by the initials CIA: confidentiality, integrity, and authentication or
    availability. Confidentiality is also known as secrecy or privacy; breaches of
    confidentiality range from the embarrassing to the disastrous. Integrity means that
    information is protected against unauthorized changes that are not detectable to
    authorized users; . Availability means that resources are accessible by authorized
    parties;

    Types of Computer security

    1) ComputerNetworkSecurity
    Computer networks are an integral part of any organization these days, as they facilitate
    the free flow of data and services to the authorized user

    2) ComputerSystemSecurity
    The security of computer hardware and its components is also necessary for the overall
    protection of data. Even if the computer is not plugged into a network, a person can open
    its cabinet and gain access to the hard disk, which can later be used on some other
    computer for data theft

    3) ComputerInformationandDataSecurity
    It is important to avoid data and information loss in case of hard disk crashes. The only
    solution is to regularly keep backups of all the data on other media such as magnetic
    tapes, CD-ROM, etc.

    The Computer Security Law of 1987, was passed by the United States Congress. It was passed
    to improve the security and privacy of sensitive information in Federal computer systems and to
    establish a minimum acceptable security practices for such systems.

    1)Each computer should have an antivirus product installed on it and configured to auto updates
    Free alternative: AVG from Grisoft

    3)Malware tracks your web surfing, causes pop-up windows,slows down your computer, and
    other evil deeds.
    4)Use a Safer Email Client, you can use Mozilla Thunderbird.

    A webcam is a video camera which feeds its images in real time to a computer or computer network

    This common use as a camera for the web gives the webcam its name. Other popular uses
    include security surveillance and computer vision.

    They have also become the source of security and privacy issues, as some inbuilt webcams can be
    remotely activated via spyware
    BEIJING: A computer virus dubbed the world's "first cyber superweapon" by experts and which may
    have been designed to attack Iran's nuclear facilities has found a new target -- China.

    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.
