IT Security

2. What is IT Security ?
• IT security, also known as information technology security or cyber
security, refers to the practices, technologies, and processes
implemented to protect digital information, systems, and networks
from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or
destruction.
• IT security measures may include firewalls, encryption, antivirus
software, intrusion detection systems, access controls, security
policies, employee training, and incident response plans, among
others.
• The primary objective of IT security is to mitigate risks and
vulnerabilities in the digital environment, thereby maintaining the trust
and reliability of computer systems and networks.

3. IT security encompasses various types of security measures and strategies aimed at protecting digital
assets from cyber threats. Some common types of IT security include:
1. Network Security: Network security focuses on securing computer networks from unauthorized access,
misuse, or disruption. It involves implementing measures such as firewalls, intrusion detection and
prevention systems (IDPS), virtual private networks (VPNs), and network segmentation to protect network
infrastructure and data transmission.
2. Endpoint Security: Endpoint security involves securing individual devices, such as computers, laptops,
smartphones, and tablets, from cyber threats. It includes deploying antivirus software, anti-malware
solutions, host-based firewalls, and device encryption to protect endpoints from malicious activities and
unauthorized access.

4. 3. Data Security: Data security aims to protect sensitive information from unauthorized access, disclosure,
alteration, or destruction. It involves implementing encryption, access controls, data loss prevention (DLP)
solutions, and secure data storage practices to safeguard data at rest, in transit, and in use.
4. Application Security: Application security focuses on securing software applications and web
applications from vulnerabilities and exploits. It involves conducting code reviews, implementing secure
coding practices, performing application security testing (e.g., penetration testing, vulnerability scanning),
and deploying web application firewalls (WAFs) to mitigate security risks.
5. Cloud Security: Cloud security focuses on securing cloud computing environments and services,
including Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service
(SaaS). It involves implementing strong authentication, encryption, access controls, and data segregation
to protect data and applications hosted in the cloud.
