SECURITY
Quarter 4 – Lesson 3
You need to understand computer and network
security. Failure to implement proper security
procedures can affect users, computers, and the
general public. Private information, company
secrets, financial data, computer equipment, and
ítems about national security are placed at risk if
proper security procedures are not followed.
Computer and network security help keep data
and equipment safe by giving only the
appropriate people Access. Everyone in an
organization should give high priority to
security, because everyone can be affected by
a breach in security.
An attack that intentionally degrades the
performance of a computer or network can also
harm an organization’s productivity. Poorly
implemented security measures that allow
unauthorized Access to Wireless network devices
demonstrate that physical connectivity is not
necessary for security breaches by intruders.

Physical loss or damage to equipment can be
expensive, and data los can be detrimental to
your business and reputation. Threats against
data are constantly changing as attackers find
new ways to gain entry and commit their
crimes.
Types of
computer
threats
There are several kinds of threats circulating in
the online world. These three are the most
common threats:
VIRUSES
 Virus is attached to small
pieces of computer code,
software, or document.
 The virus executes when
the software is run on a
computer.
 If the virus spreads to other
computers, those
computers could continue
to spread the virus.
VIRUSES
 A virus is transferred to
another computer through
email, file transfers, and
instant messaging.
 The virus hides by
attaching itself to a file on
the computer.
 When the file is accessed,
the virus executes and
infects the computer.
 A virus has a potential to corrupt or even
delete files on your computer.
WORM
 A worm is a self-
replicating program
that is harmful to
networks.
 A worm uses the
network to duplicate its
code to the hosts on a
network, often without
any user intervention.
TROJAN HORSES
 A Trojan horse
technically is a worm.
 It does not need to be
attached to other software.
 Instead, a Trojan threat is
hidden in software that
appears to do one thing, and
yet behind the scenes it does
another.

Regular testing provides details of any posible
weaknesses in the current security plan that
should be addressed.
A network has multiple layers of security,
including physical, Wireless and data.

 known as antivirus
software, is software
designed to detect,
disable, and remove
viruses, worms, and
trojans before they can
infect a computer.
