Security
Security refers to electronic or physical elements that keep the organization safe. Attention must be paid to both outsiders and insiders who provide access or compromise data either on purpose or by accident. Online security includes point products such as antivirus and anti-spam, and tools such as network-access control and unified threat management that consolidate the point products. Physical security includes security cameras, biometrics and other tools.
