Definitions[]
Computer security (COMPUSEC) (also called automatic data processing security) is
| “ | the protection resulting from all measures to deny unauthorized access and exploitation of friendly computer systems.[1] | ” |
| “ | [t]he protection of information assets through the use of technology, processes, and training.[2] | ” |
| “ | [t]he application of hardware, firmware, and software security features to a computer system in order to protect against, or prevent, the unauthorised disclosure, manipulation, modification, or deletion of information, or denial of service.[3] | ” |
| “ | [t]he protection of automatic data processing assets from harm. This includes the protection of data, hardware, firmware, and software.[4] | ” |
Overview[]
"Computer security is a set of policies, procedures, and practices which are designed to assure that
- - unauthorized uses of data processing resources (i.e., hardware, software and data) are prevented or at least significantly inhibited and
- - authorized uses of these resources are carried out as reliably, accurately, and with as little interruption and loss as possible."[5]
