systems that areused to process or store
them

13. Detect and remove
malicious code hidden
in Master Boot Record
(MBR) and are designed
to encrypt or wipe data
End-User Protection
End-user protection
or endpoint security
is a crucial aspect of
cyber security
Cyber-security relies on
cryptographic protocols
to encrypt emails, files,
and other critical data
Scans computers for
pieces of malicious
code, quarantines this
code, and then removes
Confine potentially
malicious programs to a
virtual environment
separate from a user's
network
Electronic security
protocols also focus on
real-time malware
detection
